August 28, 2010; It was another great day at Oakland Valley Speedway and with our 18^th points race in the books, there were some exciting races in all the classes tonight. It started out with our Senior Slingshot class and Tyler Pirone pulled away from last weeks winner Fred Cannock, to score his sixth win of the season. In the Junior Slingshot class, it was Kevin Predmore,Jr. picking up his eighth win of the season. The Heavys class had points leader Roger Belanger and Joe Falanga pull away from the pack with Roger taking the win for his third of the season. The Lights class had Glen Varner edging out Dylan Potter for his second win this season. Good race. The Junior Clone class had Jessica Mattera getting the win and Carissa June got the win in the Junior Rookie class. Good job by those two. Tyler Belanger continues to impress in the Junior 1 class as does TJ MacChurch and Robert Mattera in Kid Kart and Rookie Champ respectively.In the Junior 2 class it was a dominant Sarah Hoeffner cruising to the win, her fifth this season.

In the biggest class of the night with seventeen entered, it was the first time this season that someone named Hoeffner, Finley or Reynolds was not in victory lane. Dennis Mathews, close many times, finally got his first win at Oakland Valley Speedway,by a second  over Danny Hoeffner. He looked to be hooked up and drove very smooth. Great job by Dennis and his crew. In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, it was Anthony Wood picking up his second win this season (that’s my boy!!) over Kevin Wilbur and Jessica Mattera. Sean Glennon cruised in the Junior Sportsman Champ/Animal class.  Making his debut in the Senior Stock class this year, Vito Iannarella,Sr. pulled away for the win over Randy Brundage,  and in the Senior Rookie class it was Patrick Glennon taking the win in his first race with us. Great job by all the racers tonight and the track officials. Thanks to John Diotte for the great track surface.

Track will be closed for the Labor Day weekend.

Race # 17 results By John Sainz

August 21,2010; Points race #17 at Oakland Valley Speedway went by very smoothly and we were done around 9:00. Thanks to all the racers for their participation. The nights features started off as usual with our Senior Slingshot class, and fast Fred Cannock cruised to his fourth win of the season and in the Junior Slingshot class, it was Kevin Predmore,Jr. picking up his seventh win of the season. In the Heavys class, Vito Iannarella,Jr. crossed the finish line just ahead of Jeremy Todd and Kevin Morgan, for his second win of the season. In the Lights class, Steven Gully picked up his second win and second in a row, over Alex Wanerus and Rick Warr. Good job by Steven. In our Junior Clone class, the Mattera sisters, Jessica and Samantha, battled it out at the track, with Jessica Mattera picking up her ninth win of the season. This Junior Clone class has been running very fast each and every week, and it is a great and inexpensive way to get your kids into racing. They always have a great time at the track. Carissa June picked up her first win in the Junior Rookie class. Good job by Carissa. In the Junior 2 class, Colin Belanger motored away to the win, but David Holowach was involved in a last lap incident where he had contact with the wall coming out of turn 2. He was visibly shaken up and a little banged up, but he was ok. Hope to see him back at the track next week. In the Junior Stock class, Brendan Finley picked up his sixth win of the season over Stephen Reynolds. Robert Mattera cruised to the checkered flag in the Rookie Champ class, and he looks ready to move into the Junior Sportsman Champ class.

Oakland Valley Speedway

Race # 15 results By John Sainz

August 7, 2010; What a day of racing at Oakland Valley Speedway. A lot of exciting ,close finishes were the order of the day. It started out again with our Senior Slingshot class and  Steven VanValkenburg edges out a charging Joey Massimilla for his first win of the season.In the Junior Slingshot it was Kevin Predmore,Jr. picking up his second win in as many races. The Heavys class, always having the most action, didn’t disappoint  this time either. It took them a little while to get it going, with some laps going as many as four wide at times.  Roger Belanger took the win, in a hard fought battle with Jason Wolfe and Jimmy Allen, for his second win this season. And for the first time in nine races, there is no Danny Hoeffner in victory lane. In a great race ,Brendan Finley took the win over Hoeffner, for his fourth win of the season. Great job by Brendan. In the Lights class, Ryan Edwards picked up his fourth win also, followed closely by Alex Arndt and Corey Wood. The Senior Stock class had a great battle between Aaron Turner and John Wolfe, going back and forth for quite a few laps, with John Wolfe taking the checkered flag. Great clean hard racing. I had the best seat to see it as I was right behind them. Great job by both of them. The World Modified Tour was in town and Kenny Lund cruised to the win in their feature race. Thanks to all who came out today. Don’t forget to stop by JK Performance Kart shop at the track for all your karting need and rental karts. Practice this Friday night at 5pm.See you next week.
