Very chilly weather greeted us at Western Speedway on Saturday afternoon the 29th of May. Twenty-eight cars were there to do battle for 100 laps on the 4/10ths oval. Fast time was 17.155 by Wade Bland in the 07 car, second fast was Dave Hemrich in the 33 car at 17.184 and third quickest was Bob Kuhn at 17.195 in the 58 car.
The top 80% of the field was inverted, putting the two fast cars in the 11th row for the start. Traffic sorted itself out for the first 10 laps, and on lap 11, the 81 car of Darrell Midgley had moved to 2nd. On lap 17 Midgley moved to the lead and Dave Key in the 5 car made his way to 2nd. Meanwhile Brent Morris in the 29 car had moved to 3rd. On lap 23, Tom Berrow spun after contact with Hemrich, which put him to the back of the field. The fans were treated to a good show as he began to make his way thru traffic, making his way to 5th on lap 49. Several yellow flag periods slowed the action until lap 67 when the order was Midgely, Morris, Berrow, Robbie Haslam, Brandon Carlson, and Hemrich. Dave Key, Bob Kuhn, Murray Dyck and Harvey Hoogenboom rounded out the top ten. Several good battles ensued within these 10 cars, but the order didn't change.
Midgely turned the fastest lap of the race at 17.124. Total time of the race was 1:30:13.864. Seven cars finished on the lead lap. The next race on the schedule is July 3rd at Williams Lake, B.C., our furthest point north on the series.
