NOVEMBER IS HOT AT THE CAVE

Opening night filled the pits with racers that were biting at the bit to start the new season. The Late-Model division provided action that has become the norm at the cave.After quick time-trials the heats brought out much action. Junior Cooper and Dwain Welsh provided the battle in heat#1. In heat #2 Alan Sagi, a former champion at Hagerstown, handles Brian Massey after a heated duel. In heat #3 late arriving Frenchy Bennington had his mount fired up in no time and took the final heat race.Bobby Jones the invader from Maryland worked himself into the c-main with a hard won victory in the D-main. In the C-main Budd,"the hammer" Reitnauer had something left over from last years stretch run and led the pack home. However, in the B-main his luck ran out with a very competitive race that saw Brian Massey, Matt Williamson and Dwain Welsh fill out the starter grid for the feature.In a race that thrilled the fans and participants beyond expectations for the opening race, Alan and Brian made it there own as they fought tooth and nail the whole race. Although Brian had opened up a two lap lead Alan was closing fast when time ran out and the checkered flag was waved as Brian crossed the finish line first. The final finish was 1) Brian Massey 2)Alan Sagi 3)Junior Cooper 4) Dwain Welsh 5) Frenchy Bennington 6)Matt Williamson.

In the pure-stock division the competition was just as hot as Alan Sagi tried to come home at least once but again he was given all he could handle and just got nipped at the wire by Junior Cooper who had a great handling mount and was not to be denied. The finish was 1) Junior 2)Alan 3) Mike Nail 4)Greg 5)Frenchy and 6) Dwain Welsh.

It promises to be another tough and exciting night at the cave this week and by all indications the pits will be filled quickly so get to the track as early as possible.

The columnist apologizes for the late report but his PC was on the blink but promises no such issues in the future!!
