Roundabout Races Going Strong After 25 years of racing all over the United States Don West came home to race in Pleasant Grove last Saturday. He began his local racing career by timing slowest in his class, but the rewards of being slowest is that you get to be first in the race lineup. Howard Sorensen showed every intention of setting a record in the Super Stock class as he burned around the course in time trials for a fast time of 19.4 seconds. Gordon Wright set a record in the Stock class at 20.7. The Modified Dash was first on the program with a tremendous battle between Mike Roundy and Jack Elwell with Elwell inching by and taking the win. The Super Stock dash saw Dave Nelson jump into the lead but Howard Sorensen fought to the end and took the checkered flag for the .f win. iNoiin Rhodes once again captured the Stock Class trophy dash. The Modified Heat Racing brought excitement with Roundy grabbing the lead, but after much dust and spinouts Craig Chynoweth roared to the win. The Super Stock heat was a comedy of errors for Don West as he charged into the lead only to spin out time after time. Danny Houston ran unchallenged un-challenged to the win. Marv Flatt was out for the first time in his new car gaining experience ex-perience and learning the way around the track. Robert Newman is really catching on to how to race a dirt car and took one of the stock heat races and Wild Steve Turner took the win in the other. The main event in the Modified Class was 15 laps with Chynoweth leading most of the race. A battle of wits was going on between Elwell and Roundy and after spin outs Jack Elwell wook the win. The Super Stock main was the time for Don West to redeem himself after his spinning heat race. He took the lead from start to finish and showed the tremendous power he has down the chutes but was very very careful in the turns. Fast guy of the day, Howard Sorensen was fighting through the pack and on the last 3 laps made a challenge for the lead, but a spinout was his undoing and Don came home for the trophy. The Stock Main proved to be dusty and wild as cars changed positions and fought for the win. Robert Newman came through for the victory and the program was ended for another exciting and eventful race at Roundabout. |
