RAIN HALTS SPEEDWAY 95 PROGRAM
After a morning of brief showers, the rains stopped long enough Sunday
afternoon for Speedway 95 to start it’s racing program with a visit
from the Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association who showed up with 21
race cars from yesteryear. Although the feature was run under less than
perfect conditions, Tim Reynolds of Milford drove his ’37 Plymouth to
victory. John Rice finished second in a ’37 Pontiac coupe, followed by
Haggie Pratt of Dexter in a ’38 Chevy, Mark Collins of Appleton in his
’36 Ford coupe and Robert Hills of Searsmont in a ’36 Chevy.
Before the rains re appeared and forced cancellation of the regular
feature events, qualifying was completed with David Green of Hampden
and David Shorey of Old Town winning the heats in the Sport-Four
division. Wayne Parritt Jr. of Steuben won the Strictly Streets,
Kris Watson of Hermon won in the Super Streets, Ernie Wallace of
Winterport won in the pick up trucks and Glenn Curtis of Hudson took
the Pro Limited qualifyer.
The regular competitors at Speedway 95 get next week-end off as the Pro
All Stars Series comes to the 1/3 mile Hermon oval for it’s only
appearance here of the year. The Super Late Models, Outlaws, Sportsman
and Modified divisions are all slated for competition. The Speedway 95
Sport-Fours will also be on the card.
When regular racing at Speedway 95 resumes on Sunday May 11, the
feature races rained out this week will be made up beginning at 1:00
p.m., highlighted by the 50 lap Dysart’s Pro Limited feature. A
regular show will follow at the conclusion of the make up events, which
will include a 50 lap CAM II Super Street event, as well as a visit
from the Mid Coast mini cups.
