Making his first appearance since his 2007  Rookie Stock championship, Walton started last in the seventeen car  main event.  While avoiding several spins, Walton methodically sliced  his way to the front by the halfway point enroute to victory.  Brian  Harron placed second, 2-time champion Scotty Duval was third, fourth  through tenth were Corrie Merritt, Dan Murphy, John Morin Jr., Dean  Wendell, Billy Clement Jr., Larry Fortin and Jerry Lepage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">The  Classic Lite feature was much like the Rookies with Eric Bacon coming  from the last row in the twenty-two car main event and winning over  Billy Ryder, Steve Dickey, Jeff Miller, Jon Provost, Danny Shields Jr.,  Jimmy Ryder Jr., Dennis O\u2019Brien, Ralph Cook and Eddie Gilman who recovered  nicely from a last race ride into the brush off Hudson\u2019s backstretch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Points  leader Jef James was cruising to victory in the Roadrunner feature when  mechanical issues sidelined his VW.  Louis Maher took over the lead  at that point and held on to it until the checkers fell, cutting James  point lead in half.  Loren Smith Jr. finished a close second.  Third  through fifth were Patrick D\u2019Alba, Jeff Guillmette and Peter Raby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">J.R.  Gorman, Allen Reiser Jr., and Dick Dubois ran nose to tail for the most  of the V-6 Modified main.  With two to go, Reiser saw an opening under  Gorman that closed up as he got there.\u00a0 Contact between the front  two sent them to the rear for a restart.  Dubois picked up the lead  from there and took his car to the checkers with Keith Caruso, Chris  Kuenbler, Walter Boucher and Eric Vilande rounding out the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Shauna  Randall become the first female feature winner at Hudson Speedway this  season with her win in the Thunder Lights, Hudson\u2019s youth racing division.   Second through fifth were Nick Gilcris, Gage Harron, Bobby Stirk and  Dan Fortin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Ralph Coombs won the Flagpole Race,  Bryan Either won the Spectator Drags, and Ronnie Lord won the Spectator  Race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Next  Sunday at Hudson Speedway is the return of the Outlaw Sportsman, plus  Mini-cups, Rookies, Roadrunners, Thunder Lights, Spectator Race, Spectator  Drags and Flagpole race. Gates open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm.
