Show THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1976 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW. PLEASANT GROVE. UTAH THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1976 Melvin Radmall Sets Aleiv Super Stock Record at Roundabout Raceway Saturday Its been sometime since a track record has been broken at Roundabout Raceway. Melvin Radmall set a new Super Stock record at 19.3 seconds at Saturdays meet. It should be noted that once again this year that the race track has donated $100 to Muscular Dystrophy. The racing program is strictly for the enjoyment and part-icipation of local residents and not a profit making organization. The group is very proud that they can have good times and still be able to contribute to a worthy cause. The trophy dash was won by Gary Davis in the Stock division. Howard Sorensen took the Super Stock and Jack Elwell won the Modified. The heat races were wild and the black flag had to be used a few. times for careless driving. Kevin Neilsen did a good job in the Stock class and won his first trophy and in the fast Stock division it was Steve Turner who knows what to do when he gets the lead. The slow Super Stock heat was won by Paul Hansen and the fast heat won by Danny Houston. Steve Turner worked his way into the lead of the Stock Main which turned out to be a demolition derby with cars aver the bank and in the infield. The Super Stock Main was Melvin Radmalls after two restarts and several accidents. It would seen that one half of this class is out to demolish the other half. The Modified Main event seemed to belong to Jack Elwell who grabbed the lead, but after a spin out near the end Ron Gurney took the lead and the win. The Sponsers race was won by Darrell Frampton in Danny Houstons car with Marty West taking second in his dad's car. Bicycle races concluded the program with Jimmy Smith, Frank Powell, Bret Newman, Jeff Stoker, Bobby Leonard, Casey Watkins, Eldon Brown, Bret Street and Kevin Brown taking 1st places. Lewis Allen won the Wheelie contest. A talk with Markaye Carlson revealed that she had taken 2nd place the previous week in the 7--8 year old group. The kids give their all to try to win the various races. ' 1 ,,,!'' i 4"?. " WINNER Melvin Radmall wins and carries flag around in recent race at Roundabout. Races are a thrill to watch. , J.

FJlary Says Racing Is Excuse for Traveling race and a chance to watch him develop in the sport. Racing teaches many things, persistence and the importance of good judgement. You might be in the lead but poor judgement can put you out of the race. You learn to give and take and hopefully to control your tem-per. You learn respect for your fellow competitors and their ability and equipment. You learn to work at something to gain success and that no one can sit back and be a winner Any one who competes in any sport can say these things of their sport. Competition can bring out the very best a per-son has to offer. Mary West Our racing has always been an excuse. An excuse to travel and to meet people. Now we are racing right here in Pleasant Grove at the Roun-dabout Raceway, and I feel that we are still meeeting new people and having fun ex-periences. Racing is serious business and winning has always been most important until now. For the first time I've opened my eyes and really looked at the sport and looked at the young fellows who want to win so badly. It's always easy to acknowledge winning of someone else when you've been a winner, because you realize the happiness and elation that winning can bring. I saw the look on Steve Hansen's face and the look on his brothers face after they won a week ago. The look that they had gave me much hap-piness because I knew just how they felt. We've become friends with some of the greatest people down at the track. The competition bet-ween Danny Houston and Don has been fierce at times but the feeling of sharing a fun sport is so apparent in the pits. There is a lot of teasing and once in awhile tempers flare, but the overall scene at the raceway is one of good spor-tsmanship and enjoyment. No one wins all the time, and everyone racing has his own individual fan club and you find yourself yelling for your car and sitting next to a group that yells just as hard for the one trying to beat you. There are a lot of kids at the track and one sweet lady Alta Nelson asked me where else could you have such a good show for $1.00. Her grandson is racing and how proud she is of Melvin Radmall.
