At intermission, while race cars<br \/>\nwere being readied for the feature events, the kids got a chance to<br \/>\ntry out the track.<\/p>\n<p>The regular weekly Kid\u2019s Club gathering was turned into an opportunity<br \/>\nfor the Kids to have a race of their own out on the track.  They<br \/>\npushed their bikes through the pits and rode out onto the track.<br \/>\nSpeedbowl promoter Mike Rivers served as the starter with regular<br \/>\nflagman Ray Moses handing the checkered flag.  The first age group out<br \/>\nwas the 5 and under for a dash the length of the main straight away<br \/>\nwon by Shonna Moulton, 6, of Grafton, NH.  Next up was a dash for the<br \/>\n6-8 year olds won by Samantha Jenness, 8, of Center Harbor, NH.  The<br \/>\nfinal kid\u2019s race was a full lap around the \u00bc mile track by the 9-11<br \/>\nyear olds which was won by Ashlynne Collins. 12, of Cannan, NH.<\/p>\n<p>The Cutting Edge Graphix\/Keyser Trucking Super Street race was the<br \/>\nfirst of the evening\u2019s feature events.  From his mid-pack starting<br \/>\nposition, Mark Brown (47) of Rumney jumped out to an early lead.<br \/>\nWhile Mark motored away out front, points leader Derek O\u2019Hearn (14) of<br \/>\nCampton made his way slowly through the field to challenge.<br \/>\nPlymouth\u2019s Marc Jenot (88) and Derek had a lengthy battle for 2nd with<br \/>\nDerek making a pass on the last lap for the position.  The final<br \/>\nfinishing order was Mark Brown (47), Derek O\u2019Hearn (14), and Mark<br \/>\nJenot (88).  Derek missed the victory circle trophy presentation as he<br \/>\nprepared his car to run in the upcoming Late Model division.<\/p>\n<p>In the Mike\u2019s Automotive Outlaw Late Model feature, Jamie Berzanson (<br \/>\n13 \u00bd) of Concord, NH took a quick lead. Dan Collins (4) of W. Canaan<br \/>\ncharged after Jamie, but struggled getting through turns 1 and 2.<br \/>\nLater in victory circle, Dan said, \u201cI got a little throttle happy, I<br \/>\nguess\u201d.   Mike McClay (82) of Holderness rounded out the field in 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>The mighty Mid-State Trucking Modifieds took the track with Lebanon\u2019s<br \/>\nTrevor Rocke (63) jumping to the lead from his outside pole starting<br \/>\nposition.  Trevor stretched his lead while Chad Turck (56g) of<br \/>\nPittsfield and points leader Ryan Avery (01) of Thornton battled each<br \/>\nother for 2nd.  A late caution bunched the field, but Trevor held on<br \/>\nfor the win with Chad 2nd and Ryan 3rd.  After qualifying his car,<br \/>\nregular Modified driver Ed Tobin (78) stepped out and generously<br \/>\noffered the wheel to Christine Boesch of Center Harbor for the<br \/>\nfeature.   An experienced racer, Christine drove a high line as she<br \/>\nadjusted to the powerful Modified.  We expect to see Ed back in the 78<br \/>\nnext week, but you never know.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Morrill (9) of Center Harbor dominated the OE Parts Direct<br \/>\nMini-Stock feature.  Matt came quickly to the front in his super fast<br \/>\nVW, built a substantial lead, and was unchallenged. Campton\u2019s VP<br \/>\nVaillancourt (14x) and Penacook\u2019s Dana Whiting (04) dueled for 2nd<br \/>\nwith a late lap slip by Dan giving 2nd to Vaillancourt.<\/p>\n<p>The Camaro Heaven Bandit division had a first time feature winner this<br \/>\nweek. The early laps were headed by VP Vaillancourt (14x) with Dana<br \/>\nWhiting (04) of Peanacook, NH taking over with 10 laps to go.<br \/>\nVaillancourt survived a challenge by Scott Blake (21) for 2nd with<br \/>\nScott taking 3rd.  What a great night for Dana , a Big Daddy\u2019s<br \/>\nregular, with his first ever feature win and also a 3rd place in the<br \/>\nMini Stock with his Mustang.<\/p>\n<p>Join us next week on Saturday, August 21th, at 4:00pm for Big Daddy\u2019s<br \/>\n5 regular divisions plus Granite State Mini Sprinters on the fast<br \/>\nclay.
