April 21, 2018 Point Race 2 Results

Airport Speedway welcomed Cub Scout Pack 960 from Delaware on this beautiful night. I got the chance to talk to the leaders and kids throughout the night. The young men ranged in grade level Kindergarten to fifth grade. I let them watch warmups, heats and the chance to go back in the pits during intermission to let them wrap their heads around the action before asking some questions. Before our first feature event of the night which was the 250 Sportsman class, the boys had the chance to walk out on the track and introduce themselves in front of the spectators... And then the questions and the action started...

Carson's favorite part of the night thus far was "watching the cars go by." Brody was rooting for the 41 of Ed Mort to win and likes "how they turn and get through the corners." (As a past "favorite part" of my night as a child growing up, I knew this had to be an answer from someone. As a racer now, it is no longer my "favorite part.") Austin was rooting for the "Superman" number 18 car of Richard Byron to cross the checkered flags first, and his favorite thing of the night so far was the "accidents." They always make a kids night. Jacob was also rooting for Richard Byron, and Billy was going for the car with no wing, the 10L of Liam Mulherin.  Johnny Trendler and last week's winner Andrew Locuson brought the field to the green flag. Locuson jumped out to an early lead and for most of the race had no challenges. Rookie Deana Cogdill, who started in 12th position, made her way up to 6th by lap three with the wingless Liam Mulherin behind her. Jonathan John and rookie Shea Wills traded positions for third for many laps as John claims the spot before heading to the infield. Cogdill and Jacob Byron battled for fourth; however, Cogdill hit a rut pushing high and lost ground. With four to go, Locuson was approaching a lap car who slowed in turn two. Locuson attempted to get around him but couldn't make it and ripped his right side panel of his wing almost off thus being his biggest challenge of the race. Shea Wills makes a last lap pass to secure the runner up spot. Andrew Locuson, Shea Wills, Johnny Trendler, Jacob Bryon, and Deana Cogdill were your top five.  

As the infamous wingless 600s were lining up, I went back down to talk to Pack 960 again. Patrick enjoyed going back to the pits during intermission and climbing in a few of the cars. He was rooting for the black and green number 22 of Lee Reinhardt. Ben liked being able to walk on the racetrack and was cheering for Gary Bozowski in the 97G. Brody was cheering for the 10 of Wayne Scott.  Lavar Scott and Tyler Tank rolled the four cylinders to the green flag. L. Scott grabbed the lead for the first few laps before Chris Fenimore took over taking the high line on a restart on lap nine. Sam Locuson put the pressure on second taking that position and then challenging the leader but just didn’t have enough to get the lead. The action continued mid back with the Uncle/Nephew duo of Wayne Scott, Jr. and Wayne Scott in a heated battled for the sixth position. On the last lap, a yellow flew setting up a green/white/checkered finish as the top five were still battling hard for one more lap. As the checkered flew, Chris Fenimore, Sam Locuson, Lavar Scott, Gary Bozowski, and Tyler Tank were the five to cross first.

As it got later in the night, the Cub Scout's either got hungry and went to get some delicious food from the Conover Concession stand or got tired because I was only able to talk with two before this race. Austin said he would like to see the rookie driver in the 75, Dale Wagner, win as Luke went with the car that was in victory lane earlier in the night, the 21 of Chris Locuson.  Chris Locuson and Anthony Chvostal paced the 270 class to the green. After coming out with a new top on, C. Locuson took the lead and never looked back and soon hit lap traffic in the first five laps. Chvostal saved himself from almost spinning but managed to hold on to second place for majority of the race as he struggled through a rut during the feature which would take away any ground he would gain on restarts to get to the leader. Billy Gray and Rookie Thomas Rinck had a nice battle going for third position, but Rinck got tangled with a lap car. On restart lap 19, Gray tries the inside of Chvostal but couldn’t make it stick though he didn’t give up as they continued to race each other hard.  Gray made a last lap pass to take the runner up spot. Chris. Locuson, Billy Gray, Anthony Chvostal, Jonathan John, and Joe Bednarek were your top five.  

The Jr 125 class came on the track and most of these kids are close in age to the kids of Cub Scout Pack 960 which I think they found pretty cool. Luke and Ben both thought the young lady of the 18, Sarah Napora, would make her way to victory lane. Patrick went with the Rookie of Landyn Pollard. Sarah Napora and Juel Acosta lead the rest of the field to start the race. Napora found herself in lap traffic with just three laps on the board. Landyn Pollard took the low line under Acosta for second as the two of them traded positions for multiple laps. On a restart, the leaders got tangled causing Acosta to bring a yellow out. Rookie Wayne Scott, III, was running a solid third with another rookie, Devon Dvorak who started ninth behind him. Napora never let lap traffic slow her down as she had a half track lead over her closest competitor. As the last checkered flew of the night, Sarah Napora, Landyn Pollard, Devon Dvorak, Wayne Scott III, and Hadyn Mulherin rounded out the top five.

At the end of each feature, Cub Scout Pack 960 presented the winners with a plaque they made, got a picture in victory lane, and even got a few high fives. Airport Speedway would like to thank you all for coming out and hope you enjoyed yourselves. I, personally, would like to thank Bruce and Roger for taking the time out to talk to me and give me a little knowledge of what Cub Scout Pack 960 is about. Also, thank you to all the young men who let me question them throughout the night and taking the time to make something special for our feature winners. To the drivers who made the kid's night by letting them in their car, giving an autograph, and taking the time out to greet them, Thank You. Cub Scout Pack 960 we hope to see you back again.

Ex: Honda motorcycle engines must run ECU’s that were supplied by Honda on their motorcycle engines.  Re-flashing of ECU and factory race ECU’s are allowed. Rev limit for all 600cc (nothing larger than 600cc) engines is 16,100 rpms. Rev limit for all 636cc engines is 14, 800 rpms.

b)    Any carburetors may be used on any engine, regardless of year of engine.

i)     Note: Switching to carburetors on engines that came with fuel injection usually increases the rev limiter due to the removal of the injectors as the ECU cuts fuel to limit rpm’s before it cuts the ignition. A re-flash of the ECU will be required if using carburetors in order to comply with the rev limit rule 7. a)

c)    If the engine did not come from the factory with fuel injection, fuel injection may not be used.
