Clear skies hold out till race is completed
Following a rained-out event on April 23rd, promoter Paul Turner took the threat of rain last Saturday night seriously, and he ran the program quickly, asking drivers to cooperate so the event could be successfully completed.  Ten minutes after the last checkered flag was unfurled for the Pure Stock race, the skies opened up and drenched fans who were walking to their cars.   But the second race of the 2005 season was in the books.

The Sprint main event was plagued with six yellow flags as some of the newer drivers became accustomed to running on the 1/5 mile oval surface.  Rookie Greg Higginbotham went over the berm and ended up next to the fence, causing a red flag.  Greg was uninjured and was able to return to racing, finishing in the fifth spot.  Defending champion Tony Richards garnered his second win of the season, followed closely by Ed Butterfield and Adam Schroer who waged a good battle for the second spot.  Doug Butterfield, another rookie for the division and a former track champ in the Mini Trucks, finished in fourth.

Saturday, May 7th will be a special Tribute to Moms. Longs Drugs of Orland will provide carnations to the first 100 Moms through the gate. Longs' sponsorship is greatly appreciated by track promoters as well as the lucky Mothers.

Grandstands will open at 5:00 PM and racing will begin at 7:00. General admission is $8.00; kids and seniors are $4.00. Under six or over seventy are admitted free of charge.
