It was a night of surprises at Chuck’s Mountain Speedway as racers hit the pavement for the first Friday night racing event at the Williams Lake track.

Arnie Kunka, his Pontiac Grand Prix, and his pit crew were in top form on the evening, as Kunka reclaimed the track record he previously held for many years during the time trials to kick off the action.

Kunka, competing in the street stocks class, posted a time of 17.693 seconds during time trials, breaking the existing track record by two tenths of a second.

Moving on to the dash, heat and main event, Kunka and his opposition, Bob Lowen, traded victories throughout the night.
