The qualifying had just been completed and the field was ready to take the green flag for the first heat when there was an extreme odor that permeated over the track and grandstands on Friday night at the Cave Speedway. The pits and spectators were emptied as the odor became overbearing. The Haz-Mat emergency crew were unable to determine the cause of the odor but it is reported that someone had had something powerful for dinner! Once the program started though things got hot and heavy. Travis, Alan and Junior won the heats fairly easily.Dave Mason secured a move up to the C-Main with a win in the D. Jimmy McFarland who was a regular last year was on hand for his first outing of the year and pulled off the victory in the C-Main. The B-main brought Tyler Williamson, Jimmy McFarland, and Brian Massey into the big show.The feature was a tight race between Alan, Tyler and Travis Clark as both Tyler and Travis tried valiantly to overtake Alan in the last two segments but fell a little short as Alan pulled out another win at the 'Cave.
The Sprint series invaded the Cave for the second time this year. The program was stopped again for an injury as Bobby Jones's voice got a little higher and he went to the ground as Budd Reitnauer went air born and a piece of Budd's car hit Bobby in below the belt. Alan Sagi was victorious in the Sprints. It is reported that Rick Williamson may require that all drivers wear jock straps and a cup in future events!!
This week is the Santa Cause 100 trophy race and it is reported that Santa may even be at the track. So bring the whole family as we celebrate the season and rev up for the main event.
See ya' all at the cave Saturday night!
