Saturday night Racing from Thunder Hill Raceway, Kyle Texas.
09/07/2008

I headed down to the track, I was feeling great and looking forward to some great racing: I wasn’t disappointed.

It was an added race and a shortened schedule, only three classes racing so they had two feature events for the Super Stocks and the Legacy cars. The Grand Stock ran one feature race. We had a slight delay for the safety officials, no safety, no racing is the rule.

Heat 1, was Cary Stapp, in heat 2, Keith Garret took the win. The heats were 8 lap shoot outs for position. The Grand Stocks had their heat races: Cody Smith and Richard Fitch.

The Super Stocks had a 25 lap features: For the first one, the 9 of Chris Birmingham started out front but a few minuets into the race he got black flagged for smoke. The 99 of Cary Stapp and the 88 of Clint Lafont had a little on track dispute. Both went around and the 88 went to the back. The 9 of Chris Birmingham came back out on the track and the 4 of Tracy Tschoerner was off the pace: something was broken or breaking. The 36 off Matt Banker and the 02 of Doug Ayers were going bumper to trunk and then a bit later the 01 of Terry Tschoerner spun around. The finish of the first feature was the 32 of Levi Krauss, 99 of Cary Stapp followed by 79 of Keith Garrett and Micky McKim. It was Levi Krauss’s first win in the class: he’s not a rookie racer but he moved up to the big cars this year and is adjusting quite well.

The Grand Stocks were out next for their 25 lap feature race. The 46 of Steve Dalymple brought the field to the green flag followed by James Laljer. The cars were spinning out and taking short cuts through the back stretch The finish was close: the 08 of Micke Farish, 53 Cody Smith and the Aramendia’s: James followed by Carolyn. The 79 of Homer Pitner and the 07 of Richard Fitch were still fighting it out after the checkers fell.

In the Super Stock’s second feature Chris Birmingham got the car back in shape to get it back out on track for the start, followed by the 19 of Brent Reeves and the 02 of Doug Ayers and the 32 of Levi Krauss. Chris Birmingham and Dough Ayers were fighting out the lead and the Levi Krauss and Bent Reeves were fighting for the third place spot. On Lap 17, the red flag got thrown: the 79 of Keith Garrett and Brent Reeves got tangle up ending up on turn 1. The 36 of matt Banker was sent to the pits for ignoring the red flag and the 9 of Chris Birmingham followed for his oil leak.

The restart order was Doug Ayers, Levi Krauss, Terry Tschoerner, Micky McKim follwed by Cary Stapp. The field was down to 7 cars from a start of 13. It was nose to nose as the cars crossed the checkered flags: Doug Ayers followed by Cary Stapp, Levi Krauss and Terry Tschoerner. According to the press release the afternoon: Dough Ayers didn’t pass tech inspection: he had a ride height infraction and was scored as last with Carry Stapp taking the win on feature 2.

I am sure that was quite a disappointment for Doug and his dad, they were both so excited about the win.
