LAST LAP POWER MOVE GIVES CURT VANPELT THE
WIN IN THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES 40 LAP FEATURE FOR THE 358 MODIFIEDS AT THE
WOODHULL RACEWAY
A FIRST TIME WIN FOR THE 2006 SEASON GOES TO JOSH NOBRIGA IN THE STREET STOCK
OPEN 30 LAP FEATURE
JON RIVERS CAPTURES WIN IN THE BRP CAN/AM 360 LATE MODEL FEATURE
Woodhull, NY--- Curt VanPelt was one happy camper in victory lane following an
exciting last lap power move around brother Billy (current points leader) to win
the 2nd Annual Lyle Sherwood Memorial 40 lap feature event in the t# All Star
Series 358 Modifieds presented by Troyer Race Cars .Curt started the race in
sixth position, but soon grabbed the point from Chad Brachman on lap five, as
these two had some good battles for the top spot, even pulling away from the
pack for a few laps. Unfortunately, cautions slowed the pace of the race as ten
times, the yellow flag would come out. Points leader, Billy VanPelt , got caught
up in the first caution, as he had nowhere to go in a four car pileup in turn
four. B. VanPelt came out unscathed, but had to restart in the back. With each
caution flag flying, Billy took advantage of them, as he worked his way fast
towards the front. Meanwhile, Curt was having his own battles, as around lap 10,
he fought to keep Brachman, Aaron Jacobus, George Kostelansky, and Dylan Dewert
at bay. Curt VanPelt held his ground for several laps, getting a good jump on
each restart. Lap traffic played a big roll in several positions getting
shuffled among the rest of the filed. As Billy fought his way to the front,
another hard charger was also gaining considerable ground. Steve Hartman Sr.,
who had earned his way into the feature by winning the ten-lap consolation race,
cracked into the top ten by lap eighteen after starting in the 21st spot .By lap
24, both B. VanPelt and Hartman Sr., is racing in third and fourth spots,
setting their sights on second man Brachman. An anxious moment on lap 25 as the
red flag flew because of Larry Keegan, coming off turn four, and slamming into
the front stretch guardrail .Mark Kline, with nowhere to go, slams into Keegan
and forces Klines car to flip on its roof. Both cars had extensive damage, but
both drivers thankfully walked away unhurt. With fifteen laps to go, the battle
scene was in place for a great finish. As the field of cars get spread out, the
VanPelt brothers break away from the rest .With only a handful of laps left, lap
traffic soon will come into play. Billy was using the high side of the track and
Curt on the low side .Billy took the lead on lap 29, and Curt seemed to fade a
bit, trying to get around the lappers. Curt caught back up to Billy and on lap
38, he rode Billy on the high side. With a last lap effort, Billy drooped low
and Curt stayed high, getting a better bite to take the checkered flag from
flagman Scott Colegrove. Billy came in second with Brachman fighting his way
back to third. Hartman Sr. Captured fourth ahead of Kostelansky, with Dewert
rounding out the top five. During the post interview with track announcer and T3
series organizer Kenny Shupp Jr., a very happy Curt said that Second position
was the place to be on that last lap A beautiful 6 trophy was presented to
VanPelt along with hardware from the representatives of Bully Hill Vineyards and
Dewert Speed, as these two businesses were on hand for a first time sponsorship
at the high banks of Woodhull.
Wood hull Raceway also hosted a Street Stock Open with a 30 lap feature on the
card. Twenty three cars started the feature with a first time winner in the 2006
season going to Josh Nobriga of Addison, NY. Nobriga raced to the top spot by
lap two, getting around Barry (Buck) Payne, but Payne didnt wait too long to
retake the lead as he grabbed the top spot on the very next lap. These two
exchanged the lead a few more times with 2006 Morgans Auto Repair Street Stock
Champion Dan Gordon, breathing down their necks. Donnie Knowles and Rod Mullen
also were in the top five by lap 13.Yellow fever occurred several times through
out the event as lap cars seemed to loop around in both ends of the speedway,
thus bunching up the field on the restarts. Brian Knowles(14th starter) and last
weeks ROC Champions winner, Jeff Smith,(16th) had made a good stride to the
front as with ten laps to go, both find themselves in the top five. Nobriga and
B. Knowles breakaway from the rest of the field as Smith works on D. Knowles for
third. Darwin Davis rides in fifth place with five laps to go.As the two front
leaders keep a good distance away, Gordy Price(9th) gets around Davis for fifth.
A caution on lap 28 sets it up for a 2 lap shootout. B, Knowles fought hard to
get around Nobriga, but the door would slam shut on the last lap, giving Nobriga
the nod for the win. Knowles takes second with Donnie Knowles holding on to
third. Smith and Davis round out the top five.
The 30 lap BRP CAN/AM 360 Late Model feature winner was Jon Rivers.

WOODHULL RACEWAY.
RICH SHARPSTEEN II WINS THE BLACKROCK SPEEDWAY/WOODHULL RACEWAY CHALLENGE.
Woodhull, NY---- Woodhull Raceway owner, Vern Wasson, must have made a deal with
the rain Gods Saturday night, or else he had every single finger and toes
crossed, to make sure that no rain fell on the famed Steuben high banked track,
as the whole night felt like the skies would open up at any time. But low and
behold, along with Wasson, the track crew did a great job preparing the track
for very fast track. Curt VanPelt, I'm sure, felt that way, as he grabbed his
sixth win of the 2006 season in the L J Kennedy Trucking 358 Modifieds.VanPelt,
starting back in the third row, wasted no time getting to the front as by lap 5,
he was challenging Ron Cartwright Jr. For the lead. He and Cartwright put on a
great show as both ran their lines, (VanPelt on the bottom, Cartwright Jr. On
the top) and neither gaining any ground from each other. The track had so much
bite, that the two front - runners had no clear advantage over the other. Moving
up in the mix was Billy VanPelt(12th) as had fought his way around Donnie Lawson
for third. Unfortunately, the 25 lap feature had it's share of caution flags
with starter, Scott Colegrove, waving they yellow nine times. C. VanPelt took
the lead from Cartwright on lap 10 and held him off for the win. The biggest
mover of the feature had to go to Steve Hartman Sr. He started the race the 22nd
position and just blasted his way to the front. He and Cartwright battled for
second with Hartman winning that battle, followed by Cartwright. Lawson held on
to fourth and Dave Dubois rounded out the top five. Bryan Terwilliger, Mike
Jackson, Mike Schane, Dale Welty and Gil Tegg finished sixth through tenth.
Billy VanPelt had been running in the third position until suspension problems
ended his night on lap 16.
The Arnot Mall in Big Flats sponsored the nights events along with Team 88a
Racing of Campbell. This was the first time for the mall and representatives
were on hand to hand out the hardware to the lucky winners.
Points leader Glenn Writenour made his way back victory lane for the second time
this year in the Napa Super Stocks. His other win came on opening night, but his
consistencies in finishing in the top ten each week has kept him on top most of
the season. Whritenour had battled his way to the front from the ninth spot,
contending with Kenny Peoples Sr., Rich Marlatt, and Larry Knowles. Knowles had
taken the lead from Marlatt around lap 8 in this 25- lap feature and Whritenour
sat back in third. It seemed that yellow fever was the name of the game for this
class as they also battled with the yellow flag. Marlatt ran into mechanical
problems on the restart of lap 14 as his engine made a loud pop and shut down,
sending him pit side . Whritenour took the lead from Knowles on a lap 15 restart
as Knowles's car didn't seem to want to get going. Whritenour gets the nod for
the top spot followed by Peoples. Scott Brown stayed right in the top five and
managed to get the third position followed by eleventh starter Dave Davis. Bob
Lubberts had a good run as well with a fifth finish. Joe Buck and Greg Young
finished sixth and seventh with Knowles hanging on to eighth. Braden Smith and
Mickey Seeley rounded out the top ten.
The Morgan's Auto Repair Street Stocks ran a 30 lap special that had been
previously rained out twice. Brian Knowles captured his second win in a row and
also his seond of the season. Knowles win wasn't an easy one as he battled
points leader, Dan Gordon, and Jay Demming. Demming had taken the lead from
Gordon on lap 14 as his car really stuck to the tacky track. Knowles had gotten
around Gordon and with eight laps to go, battled Demming for the top spot. This
class is really fun to watch, as several times though out this 30 lapper, the
cars were four abreast on the front stretch. Gordon and Knowles found themselves
battling for the lead again as Demming went pit side. On lap 27, Knowles takes
over the lead from Gordon, and takes the win. Gordon finished second and 14th
starter, Josh Nobriga, came in with the third spot. Lyle Smith, no stranger to
the high banks, finished fourth and Tony Foth (20th) grabs fifth. Sixth through
tenth went to Jared Hill, Henry Miracle, Cliff Moss, Mike Updike, and Zach
Sutton.
Saturday night was also the final leg of the Blackrock Speedway/Woodhull Raceway
Challenge for the mini stocks The two tracks held a challenge where whom ever
ran both tracks in a two day event, the top five point finishers would split
$500.00 with $200.00 going to the overall winner. Rich Sharpsteen II, was the
overall winner as he won the 20 lap feature at Blackrock Speedway on Friday
night(8-25-06) and taking second in the twenty lapper at Woodhull Raceway. The
Signs Plus of Kanona 20 lap event was won by Art Goodier, as he had put on a
good show for the folks, keeping the lead throughout most of the race. Goodier
would lead the field several cars lengths at a time until a caution would bunch
the field back up. On each restart, Goodier just pulled away from the rest of
the 31 starters. Sharpsteen battled Goodier in a 3 lap shootout, but ended up
finishing second. Third went to Ryan Davenport along with Adam Austin. Fifth
place was won by Bill VanEtten. Ray Spicher came in sixth with Mike Smith
seventh. Dennis Erdmann, Brett Marlatt and Casey Pavlick rounded out the top
ten.
The overall Blackrock Speedway/Woodhull Raceway top five finishers were, Rich
Sharpsteen, Ray Spicher, Adam Austin and Donnie Smith(tie), and Brian Grant Sr.
Along with the Arnot Mall, Team 88a Racing of Campbell sponsored the nightly
event, and were on hand to present plaques to all the competitors in the S&W
Awards and Photos Warriors. Tom and Ida Austin has made this an annual event to
honor the kids that race in this series as the racers do not compete for money,
but for points and hardware. The Austin's son, Tom Jr., made it even a special
night, as this second generation pilot won his third feature of the 2006 season
.Austin fought with Bryce Davis in this 10 lapper, doing side by side battling
for several laps.Austin , and Davis finished one and two, followed by C.J.
Winslow and Dylan Potter for third and fourth. Bryan Wilson, Shane Pickering,
and Kreg Crooker finished fifth through seventh.
Last race of the night, but certainly not least, was the LaBarron Brothers
Repair and Parts FWD Enduro 15 lap feature. This new class of the 2006 season
has grown quite a bit with about seven cars competing on opening night to 15
cars starting Saturday night. Track owner, Vern Wasson, gave the competitors and
extra treat as they were promised heat races as long as the field grew to a
sizable class. Two heats were run to determine the nights running order. Jamie
Freeman won the first ever heat for this class and Kevin Patton went on to not
only win the second heat, but also the feature as well. Patton and Freeman
battled each other for the top spot with both puuling away from the rest.
Freeman used the high side of the track and made his way to front in a hurry as
well as Patton. Freeman appeared to have the car to beat again as he had been
the winner for the last five features, but his cars seemed to lose power as the
laps wound down. With two laps to go, Patton had the lead and held of Freeman
for his second win of the season. Third went to Steve Gee, followed by Justin
McNeil and Ron Daily Jr. Sixth through tenth went to Brian Grant Jr., Robert
baker, Donnie Scanlon, James Howard and Ann Marie Dgien

BOB CLOSE BRINGS IT HOME IN THE VISITING LATE MODELS AT THE WOODHULL RACEWAY
Woodhull, NY------ Billy VanPelt won his seventh feature of the 2006 season at
the high banks of Woodhull Raceway. VanPelt made a quick run to the front from
his 7th starting spot and took the lead from Mike Jackson around lap ten.
Jackson, along with Ron Cartwright Jr., battled Vanpelt for several laps, all
three breaking away from the rest of the L.J Kennedy Trucking 358 mods. VanPelt
had a sizable lead until the only caution of the 25 lap event happened on lap 17
when pole sitter ,Roger Williams, looped it in turn 4, sending him to the rear
of the pack .VanPelt maintained his lead on the restart and won his third in a
row with Cartwright Jr. And Jackson close behind. Gil Tegg came in fourth
followed by Steve Hartman Jr. Sixth through 10th went to Ray Bliss Jr., Frank
Dunning, Dale Welty, Aaron Jacobus , and Dave Dubois. The nightly sponsors for
the evenings activities, Mullen Carpets and S&W Awards and Photos , presented
hardware to VanPelt and all the other feature winners.
The 15th Annual Late Model Reunion took place at Woodhull Raceway with a field
of 18 starting the thirty- lap event. These ground pounding, alcohol burning
monsters always put on a good show for the large crowds on hand. Bob Close took
the lead from Dave Zona on lap 25 to collect the checkered flag. Zona held the
lead for 25 laps, but Close appeared to just bide his time and found the right
groove to his liking as the laps wound down.. Both Close and Vona battled for
the lead with Close staying on the bottom to finally get around for the win.
Zona finished in the second spot with Scott Lebarron, Jason Dupont , Greg Oakes
finishing in the top five.
Rookie driver, Jessica Pierce, won her first ever Napa Super Stock 20 lap
feature with style as she went flag to flag in a caution free feature. With 18
other competitors breathing down her neck, Pierce stayed in her line and
maneuvered around lap traffic at just the right time to keep hard charging,
Wayne Robertson, at bay. Robertson came close a few times but the only real
challenge was on the last lap when he took to the high side going into turn one
to try and get momentum for a last lap charge. Pierce held her ground and took
the win. Robertson was a close second with Glenn Writenour third .Rich Marlatt
and Scott Brown had the fourth and fifth spots. Seventh went to Bob Lubberts
with Greg Crooker, Kyle Lefelhoc, Greg Young and Joe Buck rounding out the top
ten.
The Morgans Auto Repair Street Stocks had a first time winner of the 2006.
Brian Knowles collected the win Saturday night over the field of 23 with only
one caution for 20 laps. Knowles took the lead over Barry Payne right on lap one
and maintained that position ahead of Mike Williams and Payne. With two laps to
go, Williams made a bid for the lead, dropping to the low end of the track, but
Knowles had the better bite on the top and held off Williams for a close finish.
Payne held on to third with points leader, Dan Gordon, in fourth .Rod Mullen
came in fifth with Gordy Price sixth. Seventh through tenth went to Jeff Smith,
Darwin Davis, Josh Nobriga, and Donny Knowles.
Adam Austin had his hands full to keep the lead over the rest of the field of 27
in the Signs Plus of Kanona Mini Stocks. Austin grabbed the lead right from the
start but had to fight off Art Goodier and Bill Shea for several laps. An
unusual night for cautions for this class, Austin had to step on it has it was
either, Shea or Goodier , working him over at each restart. At one point, Austin
had checked out away from the field, but cautions bunched them back up. Two
quick cautions with two laps to go, a shootout was the name of the game. Goodier
made a valiant effort, but it was Austins night as he took his sixth win of the
season. Goodier came in second with Rich Sharpstein, Casey Pavlick, and Bill
VanEtten rounding out the top five. Shea dropped back to sixth with Mike Smith
seventh. Dennis Erdmann, Brian Grant Sr. And Lynn Burrell held on to finish in
the top ten.
The unstoppable Jamie Freeman had his fifth win of the season and all five have
been in a row in the LaBarron Brothers Repair and Parts FWD Enduros. Freeman has
certainly found his niche on the track and he showed it Saturday night in the 15
lapper as he took the lead from Kevin Patton on lap nine and held on for the
win. He and Patton battled for the lead several times with Freeman finally
winning the war. Patton held on for second with Ron Daily Jr. Taking the third
spot. Justin McNeil crossed over in fourth with Isaac Byler finishing in the
fifth position. Randy Graham, Dustin Knoll, James Howard, Ann Marie Dgien, and
Tom McGlynn claimed the sixth through tenth spots.
The S&W Awards and Photos Warriors ran their 10 lap feature earlier in the
evening with Kreg Crooker once again finding victory lane for the sixth time.
Crooker just dominated the field of seven as he held a sizable lead over second
place finisher, Tom Austin Jr. Two cautions bunched the field back up, but
Crooker walked away each time on the restarts. Shane Pickering held on to third
while Bryce Davis, Dillon Cecce, and Bryan Wilson rounded out the rest of the
finishers.

DEWERT AND MARLATT IN VICTORY LANE, MIKE
WILLIAMS GETS HIS FIRST WIN IN THE STREETS, AUSTIN, CROOKER, AND FREEMAN MAKE IT
TWO IN A ROW, AND ROHR, CLAUSSEN, AND WOOD WIN IN THEIR CLASSES FOR THE VISITING
MID-STATE ANTIQUES AT THE WOODHULL RACEWAY
Woodhull, NY----- L.J Kennedy Trucking along with first timer, Beam Mack Sales
and Service, sponsored a special 40 lap 358 Modified feature Saturday night at
the Woodhull Raceway with Dylan Dewert pulling off the win for the third time
this season. For the third year, L.J Kennedy Trucking has not only sponsored the
modifieds, but has set up a three race 40 lap series with a $5000.00 points fund
to be distributed to the top drivers at the end,($1000,00 to the overall
winner).Curt VanPelt held the points lead coming into Saturday nights event.
Dewert had his work cut out for him as he battled for several laps with pole
sitter Dave DuBois. DeBois car worked well in the middle of the track as well as
Dewerts. The two were side by side many times but DeBois seemed to get on the
gas a little quicker of the corners. After several cautions earlier on, the
modifieds were lined up single file to retake the green flag and on lap 13,
Dewert took the lead from DeBois. Now it was Dewerts turn to fend off several
hard chargers as Gil Tegg(4th), points leader Curt VanPelt(13th) and Ron
Cartwright Jr.(22nd) closed in on the leader. There were at least three moments
where Dewert almost was taken out by lap cars, but he held his ground and
powered around them. The last thing Dewert needed was a caution, but with three
laps to go, thats exactly what happened, setting up a three lap shootout. On
the restart, Dewert stayed to the bottom as C.Vanpelt took it to the high side,
but was unable to capitalize on it. Dewert was first with VanPelt coming in the
runner up spot. Tegg and Cartwright had 3rd and 4th with Frank Dunning rounding
out the top five. DeBois slipped back to six with Aaron Jacobus and Stacy
Jackson finishing in the seventh and eighth position. Rounding out ninth and
tenth were Steve Hartman Sr.(16th) and Roger Williams. Beautiful trophies and
plaques were handed out by representatives of both of the nightly event
sponsors.
Rich Marlatt took the lead over pole sitter Gary Archer on the fifth lap and
held that position to his fifth win of the 2006 season in the Napa Super Stocks.
Marlatt may have led 15 laps of the scheduled 20-lap feature, but points leader
Glenn Whritenour and Kenny Peoples Sr., made him earn his win, as the two
breathed ever so close many times down his back. Whritenour worked on the inside
on lap six to try and get the lead, but Marlatt maintained his position. While
Whritenour worked over Marlatt, Peoples kept nudging Whritenour for second.
Marlatt did get a good lead over the rest of the 21 starters, but on lap 17, a
caution flew, setting up a three lap shootout. Marlatt maintained his position
for the win with Whritenour taking second. Peoples and Dave Davis came over the
line third and fourth with the fifth position going to Archer. Wayne Robertson,
Jason Knowles(driving his dad Larrys car) made it sixth and seventh, while
eight through tenth went to Kyle Lefelhoc, Jessica Pierce, and Greg Crooker.
Kreg Crooker kept his winning streak alive win his second win in a row for the
S&W Awards and Photos Warriors. Crooker held of Shane Pickering for the win with
Bryce Davis coming third. Tom Austin Jr. Finished the 10- lap feature in fourth
with Dylan Potter and Bryan Wilson rounding out the field of six in the 5th and
6th positions.
The Morgans Auto Repair Street Stocks ran their 20- lap feature with a first
time winner for the 2006 season. Mike Williams broke points leader Dan Gordons
winning streak of three in a row with and impressive run, in which included a
green flag to a checkered flag caution free race. Jay Demming led the field of
20 out to take the green and right from the right away, him and Williams battled
for the top spot. Tony Foth got intro the mix and all three cars got into a
breakaway mid-way though the feature with Demming still holding the lead. Brain
Knowles, two laps later, catches up to the front-runners. Demming loses the lead
on lap 14 with Williams taking over the helm. Demming goes pit side with four
laps to go and Foth took over the second spot. Williams had lap traffic to
contend with but held on to win his first of the year followed by Foth in the
runner up spot. Knowles held his ground for third with Ken Thomas finishing a
close fourth. Impressive run for Buck Payne as he had started the feature dead
last and finished in the fifth spot. Gordon was sixth with Gordy Price coming in
seventh. Darwin Davis, Cliff Moss, and Josh Nobriga finished 8th through 10th.
Adam Austin made it two in a row to win his 20-lap feature in the Signs Plus of
Kanona Mini Stocks. Austin started on the pole for the feature and maintained
that position over the field of 25 with points leader Art Goodier giving a great
effort on the last lap to try and get under Austin for the win. There were only
a few cautions to slow the leader down, but Austin even a breakaway lead for a
few laps mid way. The field stayed pretty much in line with the exception of
Bill Shea, whom had started the race in 11th, and had worked his way to finish
third behind Austin and Goodier. AJ Costly had a good run with a fourth place
finish followed by Brian Butler. Bill VanEtten, Joe Dgien was sixth and seventh
and Brett Marlatt, was eighth. Ninth and tenth went to Casey Pavlick and Derek
Mills.
Double trouble for the rest of the thirteen starters in the Lebarron Brothers
Repair and Parts Enduros as James Freeman scored his second win in a row.
Freeman took the lead on lap 8 over Kevin Patton as a lap car got in the way. It
was probably going to happen anyway as Freemans car was hooked up and getting
good traction. Anxious moment though for the leader as with three laps to go, a
lap car running high on the leader, suddenly dropped low and almost took him
out. Patton got the runner up spot with Ron Daily Jr. finishing third. Justin
McNeil , starting eighth, got the fourth position. Rounding out the top five was
Robert Baker.
The Mid-State Vintage Cars made their annual visit to The Woodhull Raceway with
Doug Rohr(70s) winning their 12 lap feature overall over the other 11 starters.
Bill Claussen finished first in his class( 60s) and Gordie Wood was the winner
in the (50s class).

CURT VANPELT AND DAN GORDON MAKE IT THREE
IN A ROW AT THE WOODHULL RACEWAY
LARRY KNOWLES, ADAM AUSTIN, AND KREG CROOKER HAVE YET ANOTHER VICTORY UNDER
THEIR BELTS
JAMIE FREEMAN GETS HIS FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON
Woodhull, NY----- Curt Vanpelt wasnt sure if he would run the whole 2006 season
at the high banks of Woodhull Raceway, but after taking over the points lead
over his brother Billy, its safe to say that Curt may stick it out for the
remainder. His win Saturday night made it his third in a row and fifth of the
season. VanPelt started 12th in the L.J Kennedy Trucking 358 modifieds 25 lap
feature with some heavy guns to get around. On the point was Steve Hartman Jr.
With Aaron Jacobus, starting on the outside. Jacobus took the lead right away
from Hartman and held off hard chargers, Kevin Chilson, and Gil Tegg for several
laps. Holding the lead for several laps, Jacobus and Tegg along with Ron
Cartwright Jr.(8th) made it exciting to watch as these drivers along with fast
mover Donnie Lawson(10th), broke away several car lengths from the pack .Restart
on lap 5 found Cartwright Jr. Taking the top spot from Jacobus. Using the high
side, C, VanPelt and brother Billy(14th) broke in the top five several laps
later. Halfway through the feature, the VanPelts split up with Curt on the
bottom and Billy on the top, both trying to get the better bite. The front
runners, Tegg and Cartwright Jr., still battling each other for the lead now has
C Vanpelt on their heals. There were several caution flags throughout this event
with the last being an anxious moment as in turn four, three cars got caught in
a wreck with Mike Schane ending upside down on Chilsons car. Stacy Jackson was
also involved and appeared to be the only one not having to be put on the
hook.On the restart with seven laps to go, Tegg held the lead until lap 23 when
C. Vanpelt shot around for the win with Tegg getting second. Cartwright Jr.
Finished third with B. Vanpelt fourth. Hartman Jr. Had a good comeback as he had
dropped back several spots earlier on. He finished in the top five. Jacobus and
Steve Hartman Sr. Was sixth and seventh with Donnie Lawson maintaining eighth.
Sprint car driver Jessica Zemken, piloting one of B.Vanpelts modifieds, not only
finished ninth on her very first visit to Woodhull Raceway, but even won her
heat race as well. Good job Jessica!! Dale Welty rounded out the top ten.
American Twin Harley Davidson of Corning(formally Hardings) were on hand to
present the hard ware for the all the winners.
American Twin Harley Davidson of Corning hosted the Signs of Kanona Mini Stock
30 lap special with Adam Austin winning his fourth feature of the season. Austin
held off Art Goodier and Ryan Davenport for a four lap shootout after the fifth
caution flew of the night for this four cylinder class. It was no easy task for
Austin as early on contenders Joe Dgien, Goodier and Davenport along with
Michael Smith, gave him a run for his money. Dgien was the early on favorite as
he held on the lead for two thirds of the 30 laps with him going pitside with 10
laps to go . He rejoined the field without losing a lap, but was out of
contention for the win. Goodier and Austin had some good battles for the lead
towards the end, but it was Austin winning the 4 lap shootout with Goodier a
close second. Davenport took third with fifteenth place starter, Lynn Burrell,
taking fourth. Derek Mills, whom early on fought for the lead over Dgien,
finished sixth after recovering from a flat tire. Brian Grant(8th), Bill
VanEtten, and Dennis Erdmann rounded out the top ten.
Larry Knowles became victorious for the second time this season in the Napa
Super Stock division over hard fighting Chris Clark .Scott Brown lead the
eighteen car field to the green and held on to the lead for about halfway until
Knowles shot around him. Browns car was very strong throughout the race holding
off Wayne Robertson and points leader Glenn Writenour until he had to go pit
side. Clark worked his way around Roberston using the high bank and stayed right
on Knowless tail. Knowless car had good bite coming off the corners a and
managed to hold off Clark for the win.Writenour styed in line for third with
Kenny Peoples Sr, fighting back from early on trouble, getting fourth Rich
Marlatt, whom had to start this 20 lapper dead last, came up through the ranks
to get the top five position ahead of sixth starter, Dave Davis. Jessica Pierce
held on to seventh after she started in the tenth spot.Bob Lubberts(14th) had a
good finish for eight with Joe Buck and Gary Archer finishing ninth and tenth.
A record eight wins for points leader Dan Gordon as he once again takes the
checkered flag in the Morgans Auto Repair Street Stocks. Twenty four started
the 20 lap feature with Donny Knowles on the point. Cliff Moss soon changed that
has he took over the lead on lap one. Tony Foth had a rocket under him as he
came from eighth to third by lap three. Gordon had worked his way to second when
a caution flew around lap seven. Knowles had gotten around Moss for the lead and
now on the restart, had to deal with Gordon. Going three wide on the front
stretch, Gordon gets around Knowles with Bucky Payne right on his heals for
second. Payne sticks lick glue to Gordon for several laps, but Gordon finally
gets a good run and manages to maintain a 10 car length ahead of the field. Lap
traffic becomes a factor as Payne inches closer to Gordon. Laps ran out for
Payne as Gordon repeats for the third time in a row and eighth for the season.
Earlier in the evening, the S&W Awards and Photos Warriors ran their 10 lap
feature with Kreg Crooker winning for the fourth time this season. This second
generation pilot led the field of six youngsters to the line to take the green
flag and lead all ten laps. Tom Austin Jr. took his 4 cyl. To the high side
several times to over take Crooker, but couldnt quite get the bite. Points
leader Bryce Davis, recovering nicely after looping it earlier on, caught the
front runners and gave a valiant effort to pass Crooker on the last lap. Davis
settled for second followed by Austin Jr. for third. Dylan Potter took fourth
with Chris Woodard and Dylan Cecee rounding out the fifth and sixth spot
The Lebarron Brothers Repair and Parts FWD Enduro class celebrated with a new
winner. Jamie Freeman crossed the finish line first over the rest of the
fourteen starters. Ron Daily Jr.(6th) and Brian Conley(5th) battled for the lead
on lap 2 with Freeman close third. These three drivers broke away from the rest
of the pack for several laps. Freeman worked his way to second and battle Conley
by going to the low side. Conley held on to the lead when a caution flew for
Bernard Wood as he slams his car hard into the front stretch wall. The red flag
immediately flew but Wood restarted and limped to the pits. The red flag flew
again as when Wood entered the pits, it was discovered that he needed medical
attention after all. This caution set up a four lap shootout with Freeman
becoming the overall winner over Conley. Patton was third and Daily Jr.(12th)
finished fourth. The fifth spot went to Ted Morseman(4th). Tom McGlynn, Dustin
Knoll, Robert Baker, Bill Clark, and Justin McNeil finished sixth through tenth.

YET ANOTHER VICTORY IN THE MINIS AND CHRIS CLARK CAPTURES FIRST WIN OF THE
SEASON IN THE SUPERS ON THE ANNUAL MID SEASON TROPHY RACES NIGHT AT THE WOODHULL
RACEWAY
Woodhull, NY------ Curt VanPelt collected his fourth trophy of the 2006 season
in the L.J Kennedy Trucking 358 modified division. VanPelt grabbed the lead
right from the get go from pole sitter Gil Tegg and held his position pretty
much the whole 25 lap event. Heat winner Jr. Green and Steve Hartman Sr. Both
got around Tegg in the early laps and had quite the battle for second place. As
these two battled side by side, C. VanPelt stretched his lead almost a half a
straight away. Back in the field, Ron Cartwright Jr.(6th) and points leader
Billy VanPelt(11th) are a keeping a good pace forward and both are near the
third place Tegg. The cushion seems to be the fastest way around as both
VanPelts stay high. Hartman Sr. And B. VanPelt are fighting for that second spot
halfway in with C. VanPelt once again having a straight away lead over the rest
of the 24 starters .Lap traffic becomes a big factor as C. VanPelts lead starts
to dwindle. Lap 15 caution bunches up the field once again and when the green
flag waves, C. VanPelt remains the leader .B. VanPelt finally fights his way
around Hartman but with laps winding down, loses any chance to catch brother
Curt. Curt gets the nod for first as Billy gets second. Hartman Sr. Stays in
line for third as a good battle for fourth between Cartwright and Tegg ensues.
Carwright inches past Tegg for fourth place. Jr. Green holds on to get a sixth
place finish followed by Steve Hartman Jr.(8th) Eighth position went to Aaron
Jacobus (9th) with 10th place starter, Dale Welty, ninth. Rounding out the tenth
spot was Mike Jackson. J&F Race Shop and Triple R Farms along with Terry Brewer
Trucking were the nightly sponsors on hand for the nights activities and
presented beautiful trophy and plaques to all the winners. Along with it being
mid season trophy night, it was also a special night for Woodhull Raceway as the
track held as legends reunion night. Certificates were presented to past and
present figures of the track whether they were drivers, flagman, car owners or
ticket takers .It was a honor to be present among all who attended. In his post
race interview with track announcer Kenny Shupp, Curt VanPelt said he was
speechless to win in front of all whom he had been associated with through out
his racing career.
First time winner Chris Clark wasnt speechless in his interview as he thanked
all his sponsors and crew for all their efforts. Bob Lubberts held the lead for
lap1 over Clark and the rest of the 18 Napa Super Stock starters. A lap 4
caution flag flew as Kenny Peoples Sr. Gets turned around by Bradon Smith in
turn one and meets head on with last weeks winner, Wayne Robertson. Peoples
ended up on the hook with front end damage and his night was done. Robertson
returned to the track before the restart and finished seventh. Rich Marlatt(1)
and Larry Knowles(5th) and fifteenth starter and points leader Glenn Whritenour
are all behind Clark on the restart. Marlatt gets the points as Clark and
Whritenour battle for second with bumping and fender rubbing. Knowles is close
behind in fourth as the laps start to wind down. Clark takes it to the high side
and gets a good bite to get around Marlatt and with a sizable lead, takes the
checkered flag for his first win. Knowles gets the second spot followed by
Marlatt. Whritenour comes in fourth ahead of 4th place starter Jessica Pierce,
who had dropped back in the field, but fought her way back to the top five.
Another good run for Scott Brown as he earned a sixth place finish after as 14th
starting spot. Robertson over came his early on mishap to get seventh ahead of
Gary Archer. Rounding out ninth and tent were Greg Young and Joe Buck.
The S&W Awards and Photos Warriors ran their 10 lap feature lap next with Bryce
Davis once again winning top honor. This 15 year old has been a dominator for
this class with a impressive sixth win of the season. Kreg Crooker had a good
run and finished second with Shane Pickering holding on to third spot. Adam
Austin Jr. Finished close behind in fourth with Dylan Potter and Bryan Wilson
rounding out the six starters.
An unusual caution filled Morgans Auto Repair Street Stock 20 lap feature was
definitely not the norm for this class. With a full field of twenty four
starters, these street stock competitors had a hard time getting any laps in the
record books. Dan Demming took the lead from pole starter Steve Williams on lap
1. Demming held on to a good lead ahead of Dan Gordon(7th) , Williams, and Jeff
Smith(10th) when Smith spins out another car, sending him to the rear of the
field. Several laps. Several cautions fly but eventually points leader , Gordon,
gets the lead from Demming. Halfway restart had Gordon in the lead followed by
Demming with Rod Mullen(4th) and Darwin Davis(6th) close behind. Tony Foth,
starting from the eleventh spot, had muscled his way in the top five. Gordon and
Demming eventually break away from the field with a third place battle going on
between Foth and Mullen with only a handful of laps left. Gordon gets his
seventh win of the season followed Demming. Mullens holds on to third with Foth
and Davis next. Top five went to Joe Buck whom had started this race ninth.
Sixth place went to Brain Knowles who had a good run from the 22nd position,
followed by Ken Thomas(13th). Zach Sutton, dropping back from 3rd, finished
ninth and tenth went to Lance Baker.
Teammates Casey Pavlick and Joe Dgien started the Signs Plus of Kanona Mini
Stocks on the front row with 22 other competitors breathing down their necks.
Dgien grabbed the lead from Pavlick with Bill Shea(4th) close behind The two
lead drivers broke away from the pack and battled side by side for several laps.
Shea uses all the track to try and get around Dgien while Art Goodier and
Pavlick battled for second place. Dgien seems to get a good bite on the high
side as he hold off Shea. The field bunches back up as a halfway caution flies.
Dgien holds off Shea once again on the restart, but with six laps to go, Dgien
gets too high coming off turn two, in which Shea finally gets the lead. Shea
breaks away and now Dgien fights for second as Goodier is determind to get the
spot. Shea captures his 4th feature win of the season followed by Goodier. Dgien
crosses over in third as Adam Austin gets the fourth spot. Derek Mills Takes
fifth and pole starter Pavlick gets sixth. Rich Sharpstein and Brian Grant has
the seventh and eighth spot with Bill VanEtten and Brian Butler ending ninth and
tenth.
Three wins in a row for Brian Conley as he dominated the field once again in the
Labarron Brothers Repair and Parts FWD Enduro 15 lapper. Thirteen front wheeled
driven cars took the green flag lead by Bill Clark. Lap one caution sent points
leader Justin McNeil to the pits with heavy damage to his machine. Conley took
the lead on the restart and lead until a tenth lap caution. With a big lead
gone, Jamie Freeman took one last valiant effort to try and get around Conley on
the restart, but settled for second on the finish. Ron Daily Jr. took third
followed by Kevin Patton. Rounding out the top five was Dustin Knoll.

FIREWORKS FLY ON AND ABOVE THE WOODHULL
RACEWAY AS C.VANPELT, ROBERTSON, DAVIS, GORDON, GOODIER AND CONLEY CELEBRATE IN
VICTORY LANE ON THE ANNUAL JIM WILLIAMS MEMORIAL TROPHY RACES NIGHT SPONSORED BY
WADES BUILDING SUPPLY OF ADDISON
WOODHULL,NY---What a spectacular night is was to witness not only the best dirt
track racing in New York State, but the best fireworks show as well. It was
standing room only as the nights activities got under way with 14 heat races
and 3 B-Mains to set up the features for all the classes .Curt VanPelt had his
hands full holding off Steve Hartman Sr. To grab first place in the L.J Kennedy
Trucking 358 Modifieds. Twenty five laps seemed like an eternity for VanPelt, as
the cautions flags would fly, not allowing him to get any distance from Hartman
Sr. VanPelt stayed pretty much in the middle groove in the first half of the
race, as Hartman ran the cushion. After the sixth caution, C. VanPelt took to
the cushion, and Hartman tried to work the bottom, but the grip wasnt there. As
these two battled up front, Aaron Jacobus(14th) and Gil Tegg(21st) had gotten
around pole sitter Kevin Chilson to have their own race for third. Jacobus
finished in 3rd with Tegg 4th. Chilson held on to the fifth spot holding off
hard charging Donnie Lawson Jr. Heat winner Dave Dubois finished in 7th with
Steve Hartman Jr., Larry Keegan, and Don Silvernail rounding out the top 10
positions. Points leader Billy VanPelt and brother to Curt, had to go pit side
on lap 14 with mechanical trouble and never made it back out .This is Curts
third win of the 2006 season. Gene Wade and his employees from Wades Building
Supply of Addison were in victory lane to present beautiful trophys to all the
winners.
Woodhull Raceway fans got to witness another first time winner in the Napa Super
Stock division. Wayne Robertson, week in and week out, has come so close in
grabbing that victory flag that is was inevitable that a win would soon come his
way. Robertson led the 20 car field of super stocks to the green flag and right
away had a fight on his hands as Kenny Peoples Sr.(outside pole) raced him hard
into turn two and grabbed the lead from him. Robertson soon took the top spot
again and these two broke away from the field. Side by side for many laps with
the lead changing hands a few more times, this gave Scott Brown and opportunity
to catch up to the two leaders. Brown never could get around Robertson but did
finish in second. Last weeks winner, Rich Marlatt, starting from tenth, worked
his way to finish third ahead of Larry Knowles. Knowles, finishing fourth, had a
late race charge and took to the high side to try and get around Marlatt.
Peoples dropped back to finish in the fifth spot. Greg Young held of points
leader Glenn Whritenour to get sixth. Seventh was Whritenour and Dave Davis,
Greg Crooker, and Bob Lubberts were your 8th , 9th and 10th finishers.
The youngsters for the S&W Awards and Photos Warriors ran their 10 lap feature
with Bryce Davis scoring a fifth win of the season. Starting from the back Davis
charged to the front and battled for the lead along with Shane Pickering, Kreg
Crooker and Tommy Austin Jr. These 4 cars broke away from the pack and Davis
took the lead on lap 6. Caution sends Austin to the rear as he spins out Crooker
on lap 7. Davis takes the win with Pickering second. Dylan Potter came over the
line 3rd with Austin coming back to finish 4th. Crooker was fifth and rounding
out the top six was Bryan Wilson.
Great racing once again from the Morgans Auto Repair Street Stocks with points
leader, Dan Gordon, once again topping the field of 24 starters for his sixth
win the season. Darwin Davis appeared to have this this 20 lapper in the record
books as he took the lead from Tony Foth early on. Foth stayed close on his tail
with Zach Sutton and Gordon coming from 7th spot, riding 3rd and 4th. Foth and
Davis both exchanged the lead for several laps with Davis breaking away from the
pack .Brian Knowles had and impressive run early on as on lap eight, he found
himself in fifth spot after starting 20th. Great side by side action as Foth and
Knowles fought for the forth spot. Davis held the lead from Gordon while the
laps started to wind down. Up ahead, Davis started to get into lap traffic, and
this brought Gordon right on his bumper. The two leaders split the lap cars and
Davis still held the lead, but with only two laps to go ,a spinner in turn four
came back out right on the track in front of the leader and Gordon retook the
lead and eventually the win followed by Davis. Last weeks winner, Jay Demming,
got around Knowles as well as Jeff Smith(6th) to finish 3rd and 4th. Knowles
held on to the fifth position followed by Sutton .Foth dropped back to 7th with
Rod Mullen, starting in the 4th spot , taking 8th. Gordy Price and Ron Divens
finished in the 9th and 10th positions..
Twenty three cars started the Signs Plus of Kanona Mini Stock 20 lap feature as
Adam Austin, 2nd in points, failed to make the call. Lynn Burrell lead them to
the green and kept them at bay for 4 laps before Art Goodier(11th) took the lead
on the restart. Goodier pretty much dominated the field but Bill Sheas ride
closed in on him several times for contention. Shea used the top side for many
laps to try and get a run on Goodier, but Goodiers car seemed to stick wherever
he put it. Great battles for 4th as Burrell and Brian Grant mixed it up between
the two for several laps. Ryan Davenport got into the mix and battled Shea for
second place. Shea came close to passing Goodier, but Goodier became the winner
for the 3rd time this year, thus continuing to maintain top spot in the points
standings. Shea was second followed by Davenport and Grant. Bill McCourt, who
had a earlier heat win, came in fifth with Casey Pavilik finishing in the sixth
spot. Lynn Burrell slipped back but held on to seventh position followed by heat
winner Rich Sharpstine and Mike Smith.
The last race of the evening were the FWD Enduro class sponsored by LeBarron
Brothers Repairs and Parts. Fifteen laps went into the record books with Brain
Conley leaving off from last week with another win and his third of the 2006
season. Conley started in the 7th spot but had the lead from Colby Brewer 2 laps
later. No real contenders stepped up to the plate to compete with Conley as he
held a sizable lead over the remaining 15 starters. Points leader, Justin
McNeil(5th), moved forward as well as Kevin Patton(69) to finish 3rd and 4th. A
good run for James Freeman(15th)as he held on to 4th and fifth went to Ron Daily
Jr, .Tom McGlynn, Issac Byler, Bernie Wood, Ted Morseman, and Bill Clark
finished 5th through 10th.
What a thrill for the thousands of fans who showed up for a great night of
racing, but also for a for the best fireworks show in the north east. Track
owner Vern Wasson held on to the tradition of the track by having yet another
huge fireworks display started years ago by former track owner Jim Williams. All
I can say is WOW!, I cant wait for next year. The fans also had a chance of
winning a record $5296 take home share of the 50/50 raffle as well. The other
half will go into the drivers point funds.

EXCITEMENT AT THE WOODHULL RACEWAY AS CURT
VANPELT HOLDS OFF BROTHER BILLY FOR SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON. MARLATT CLAIMS
CHECKERED IN THE SCOTT DENNISON MEMORIAL EVENT. SHEA WINS IN THE MINIS, AND
SMITH, AUSTIN JR. AND BURGESS CAPTURE THEIR FIRST WINOF THE SEASON AS WELL
Woodhull, NY----Curt VanPelt grabbed win #2 in the L.J.Kennedy Trucking 358
modified division Saturday night at the Woodhull Raceway. Starting from the
point, he led the hard chargers to the green flag but soon found company as
brother Billy worked his way to the front by lap 3. A restart on lap four has
the Vanpelts battling for the top spot with Mike Jackson close on their heals.
As the brothers battled it out, back in the pack, some fast movers were tearing
to the front as Kevin Chilson(13th) and Bryan Terwilliger (14th) quickly entered
the top five to race with Dale Welty(6) for the third spot.. Chilsons car flew
on the outside and it seemed to be the car to beat. Caution flags again became
the enemy of this class as the fourth one flew when Welty spun in turn four
collecting Stacy Jackson. This brought the field back together. Again, the
Vanpelts were at the helm with Curt on the point for the restart and this time,
a long green occurred with the top two breaking away. Nearing the end, B.
Vanpelt seemed to draw close to Curt using the bottom line, but Curt had the
more muscle on the straight away. C, VanPelt held on to win with Billy second.
Terwilliger came in third with Chilson close behind for 4th. Good run for Ron
Cartwright Jr. As he started 11th and rounded it out the top five. Two new
sponsors for the 2006 season at Woodhall Raceway were on hand for the victory
lane celebrations, Dan Coots Contracting and E&B Recreational Sports , both out
of Bath, NY, along with Doug Gross Construction, who added additional $1000.00
to the nightly purse money in memory of Scott Dennison who was an employee. With
the exception of Dylan Dewerts win back on May 20th, the 2006 season has been
the VanPelts season. It should be some great racing entering into the summer
months as all the mod squad drivers will set their marks to keep these two from
collecting any more trophys.
Rich Marlatt picked up his third win of the season and he quotes One of the
biggest purses in his racing career as he beat 21 other competitors in The
Annual Scott Dennison Memorial 40 lapper for the Napa Super Sports. Along with
the nightly purse money , many people and businesses stepped up to the plate to
sponsor additional money for each lap led. Marlatt collected 2100.00 for the
laps he led in the event. Starting in the 4th spot, Marlatt quickly grabbed the
lead from points leader Glenn Whritenour. Whritenour had taken the top spot from
pole sitter Wayne Robertson around lap four . These three competitors soon broke
away from the rest of the pack. I mistakenly had written last week that Kenny
Peoples Sr. Had accepted the man or mouse challenge set up by track owner Vern
Wasson, but in fact, Peoples actually accepted the challenge this week. Sorry
for that Kenny, but I assure you I enjoyed watching him as well as the folks in
the grandstand did as Peoples , on lap eight, made his way to 8th place after
starting dead last. Tires must have been a factor though as Peoples got as high
as fifth but couldnt gain any more real estate and finished in that positon.
Marlatt dominated the remaining laps and even had a sizable lead over second
place finisher Whritenour. Robertson came in third and a good showing for 12th
place Scott Brown again this week as he rolled over the line fourth.
Tommy (Rocker) Austin Jr. Collected his first win of the season beating five
other starters in the 10 lap S&W Awards and Photos Warrior s event. Austin,
starting on the pole, lead every lap, but Shane Pickering didnt make it easy
for him as he challenged Rocker several times for the lead. Pickering came in
second and Bryce Davis, despite getting turned around on lap 4, salvaged a third
place finish. Kreg Crooker came in fourth as Dylan Potter and Bryan Wilson
rounded fifth and sixth. ( On a personal note: Rocker, I told you this was your
night!! Good Job!!)
One of the bests races of the night, and most likely of the season, came in the
Morgans Auto Repair Street Stock 20 lap feature. Pole sitter Jeff Smith,
winless this year, has showed some great improvements the past few weeks in his
racing program. Smith, coming into tonights activities, sits second in the
points standing behind Dan Gordon. Winning one of three heat races of the
evening, Smith showed he definitely had a good car for the feature. As luck fell
to him, Smith collects pole position on the redraw. On the start , Tony Foth
hammers the gas and wastes no time getting around Rodney Mullen to challenge
Smith for the lead. Points leader Gordon, spins on lap 2 and with hanging
debris, takes his ride pit side for some quick repairs. Gordon, who was also
eligible for the man or mouse challenge but opted not to take it, stayed on the
lead lap as he rejoined in the back of the field before the restart. Foth gets a
round Smith a few laps after the restart and now Smith finds himself looking for
that opening back to the front. Smith and Foth are side by side for many laps
with only a mere touch now and then. These two drivers ran such a clean side by
side race, that is would have to come down to a minor slip up from either one to
lose this contest. Meanwhile, Brain Knowles and Darwin Davis have moved in the
3rd and 4th spot and have a good seat watching the event unfold ahead of them.
Closing in, Knowles gets to the front runners, but cant seem to get a good run
around them. Caution flag flies to set up a 5 lap shootout. Door handle to door
handle, Smith keeps his car on the high line and justs squeezes by Foth to cross
the line first. Double thumbs up to not only these top runners, but for this
class as they continue to give the fans a good show. Davis gets third with
Knowles getting the 4th spot and rounding out the top five will be Mullen.
Bill Shea gets another win under his belt in the 20 lap Signs of Kanona Mini
Stocks feature. Shea, starting fifth, worked his way to the front rather
quickly. Point man Lynn Burrell, dropped back several positions as Derek Mills
and Michael Smith shoots around him on lap two. Shea gets around Mills and
breaks away from the rest of the field, leaving Mills and Smith to deal with
Brian Grant Art Goodier, and Adam Austin. Goodier and Grant drives around Austin
and Mills. Smith, who had been contending for several laps in the top five, gets
spun around on the back stretch, and has to rejoin the field in the back. As
Shea continues to dominate, the battles is for second as Grant and Goodier fight
it out for that spot. Austin slips back to sixth at one point, but manages to
finish in 4th. Grant holds on to second with Goodier right behind him for third.
Derek Mills rounds out the top five position .
The final feature of the evening was the Lebarron Brothers Repair and Parts FWD
Enduro 15 lapper .Todd Burgess, who has competed on the high banks of Woodhull
in other divisions, captured his first win in this class of 12 starters.
Starting fifth, he didnt waste any time climbing to the point. Kevin Patton,
who has seen victory lane this year as well, gets the lead from Burgess, but for
only for a quick lap as Burgess retakes the lead and never looks back. Jamie
Freeman starting fifth, also gets around Patton, to collect second place. Patton
finishes third with last weeks winner and points leader, Justin McNeil crosses
over in fourth. Colby Brewer gets the checkered for fifth spot.

BILLY VANPELT, KENNY PEOPLES SR., DAN
GORDON, ADAM AUSTIN, BRYCE DAVIS, AND JUSTIN MCNEIL ALL CONTINUE SUCCESS AT
WOODHULL RACEWAY
Woodhull, NY----- Billy VanPelt made it a fourth win at the high banks of
Woodhull Raceway for the 2006 season in the L.J. Kenndy Trucking 358 Modifieds.
Starting back in sixth, VanPelt had some heavy hitters to contend with to get to
the front. Herbie Wright, Larry Keegan, Steve Hartman Jr., Steve Hartman Sr.,
and point man Roger Williams all made it tough to get around. The field had
several caution flags to deal with as some drivers got too impatient. Each time
a restart happened, VanPelt seemed to capitalize on it. Patience was the key as
in his post race interview, VanPelt commented on drivers being to fast and
taking themselves out. Last weeks winner, Curt VanPelt, had to restart in the
back of the field along with Keegan and Donnie Lawson, as they were caught up in
a spin early on. C. VanPelt drove his way back to a top 5 finish and Lawson
coming in sixth. Steve Hartman Jr. Stayed right in there to get a second place
showing followed by Roger Williams. Aaron Jacobus took fifth with a respectable
run as he stood his ground after coming from 11th. Larry Doolittle, and Ron
Cartwright Jr. Finished seventh and eighth. Cartwright also had his troubles in
the feature with going to the back as well; good run for him .Rounding out the
top ten were 13th starter Kevin Chilson and Dale Welty(14th). Twenty seven cars
started the 25 lap feature with only a few retiring to the pits. Representatives
for Wades Farm and Home of Addison were on hand in victory lane to present the
hardware to all of the class winners. Though the weather wasnt exactly the
ideal condition to be out in, the track surface was flawless.
The Napa Super Stocks took to the track with Joe Buck leading the competitors to
the green. This 20 lap event with 18 starters started out pretty much with the
cars keeping their lines as no position changes occurred until the first caution
as points leader Glenn Whritenour and Jessica Pierce tangle in the bottom of
turn four sending Whritenour on the hook with heavy rear suspension damage. Ken
Peoples Sr. Grabbed the top spot from Buck on the restart. As Peoples maintain
his lead throughout the event, the battle was heating up for second as Scott
Brown, Wayne Robertson and Buck each wanted that spot. As the laps wound down,
Peoples stayed in the top spot, but Greg Crooker, Larry Knowles and Gary Archer
found themselves in the top ten as they too were driving the wheels off of their
machines. Peoples crosses the line first with Brown giving a last lap effort to
get second .Robertson, followed by Knowles grabs third a fourth. Rounding out
the top five was Crooker.Buck held on the sixth as Dave Davis, starting 16th,
and Dan Guild, 14th, came in to finish ninth and tenth .Track owner Vern
Wassons new Man or Mouse Challenge gives Peoples a chance to start in the back
of the field in next weeks feature and if successful on winning, will receive a
bonus of ½ of what the feature event would pay out. With a bit of persuasion
from the crowd, Peoples hesitantly accepted the deal, thus setting up what looks
like will be a great feature to watch.
The S&W Awards and Photos Warriors were next running their 10 lap feature with
Bryce Davis dominating throughout most of the race. Tom Austin Jr. Ran a close
second but Kreg Crooker would have none of that has he gets around Austin. Davis
wins with Crooker, Austin second and third. Shane Pickering takes fourth and
fifth goes to Dyalan Potter. Rounding out the field of six starters was Bryan
Wilson. This is Davis fourth win of the 2006 season so far. This class is not
eligible for the challenge as these youngsters do not compete for money, but for
trophys at the end of the season.
The Morgans Auto Repair Street Stock 20 lap feature took to the track with a
rookie leading the helm. Donny Knowles paced the field for the green flag. These
classy looking cars never seemed to amaze me with their four wide action.
Knowles had his hands full holding of Jeff Smith who charge from fourth to
second in one lap. Several cautions occurred throughout this event with no one
really getting a chance to break away from the pack. Points leader Dan Gordon
and Mike Williams battled for the third spot halfway in as Smith over takes
Knowles for the lead. A brief delay in the action as a mist took over the track
surface to make is too slick. With some persistence from the track officials,
the track was worked back into racing form and action resumed. Dan Demming,
showing tremendous muscle, fought his way to get around Knowles and Smith .
Williams and Gordon finally grab the top two spots and close behind comes Darwin
Davis, as he snuck up in their for contention .Gordon, for the impressive fifth
time this year, crosses the line first, with Williams taking second. Darwin
Davis maintains third. Smith, who had faded back as far as sixth, fought his way
back to a fourth place finish. Twelfth place starter, Rodney Mullen , had a good
run with a fifth place completion. Cliff Moss, Ken Thomas, and Black Rock
competitor Rich Sharpsteen II, finished 6th through 8th. Brian Knowles and Gordy
Price rounded out the 26 field of starters with ninth and tenth.
Twenty five cars came out of the woods to start the Signs Plus of Kanona Mini
Stock 20 laps event. The field had their work cut out for them as points leader
Art Goodier, had the pole. Goodier wasted no time when the green flag dropped
and shot ahead of the field. Two quick cautions bunched the field back up and
Brian Butler and last weeks winner, Adam Austin, close in on Goodier. Austin
eventually gets the second spot and sets his sights for Goodier., who mid way
has maintain a sizable lead. Austin seems to use every part of the track to find
that much needed bite and catches up to the leader Goodier. Four laps remaining
on a restart and its clear to see that these two are the drivers to beat.
Exciting finish as Austin takes to the high side on the last lap and powers his
way around Goodier, and at one point even rubbing fenders, to get the win. Good
run for Bill Shea as he finishes third with Brian Grant following in fourth.
Fifth goes to Dennis Erdmann, who kept a top five spot throughout this event.
Butler and Michael Smith along with Bill McCourt finished 6th through 8th. Ninth
went to Brooks Leach and tenth for Bill VanEtten. Austin will be eligible next
week for the Man or Mouse challenge as well.
Last but not least was the LeBarron Brothers and Parts FWD Enduro 15 lapper with
Justin McNeil taking top honors again for the fourth time this season. Once
McNeil got around pole sitter Tom McGlynn, he just tore away from the rest of
the 10 starters and even lapped a few before the end. Kevin Patton came in
second with Jaime Freeman third, McGlynn held on to fourth with fifth going to
Colby Brewer. Brian Grant Jr. Bernard Wood, Ron Daily Jr. had spots sixth
through 8th covered .Bill Clark came in ninth and rounding out tenth was Robert
Baker .This new class of the 2006 season seems to grow every week. Its a fun
class to watch.

VANPELT, GORDON , AND DAVIS CONTINUE
WINNING STREAK AS KNOWLES, SHEA AND McNEIL GRAB FIRST WIN OF 2006 AT THE
WOODHULL RACEWAY
A great night to have two new sponsors at the Woodhull Raceway as All Season
Tire and Butters Homes got to witness a great night of action The L.J. Kennedy
Trucking 358 Modifieds 25 lap feature came to the line with Mike Jackson on the
point with 25 others breathing down his neck. Jackson held on to the lead over
Steve Hartman Jr., Aaron Jacobus, Brian Terwilliger, as the caution waved at lap
5.Jacobus had a really fast car all night as he stayed in the top ten. A repeat
from last week as the field of cars were plagued by steady cautions early on.
These cautions didnt help Jackson any because brothers Billy and Curt VanPelt
were on a tear to the front. Jacobus fought hard to hold off C.Vanpelt for
second, but lost that position and eventually slipped back. C.VanPelt took over
the lead on lap 17 and soon B. VanPelt followed suite dropping Jackson back to
third.A good battle for 10th spot as Kenny Peoples Jr., Gil Tegg, and Kevin
Chilson raced hard to get to the front. Stacy Jackson, starting 12th, had a
great run as he finished in the top 5. B. Vanpelt had his hands full to the
checked flag as brother Curt stayed right with him, sometimes side by side in
the corners. Crossing the line was B. VanPelt, C. Vanpelt and M.Jackson.
Terwilliger finished an impressive 4th as S. Jackson was right on his tail
finishing in the 5th. Position. Hartman Jr., even though had slipped back in the
field, fought his way back and had a 6th place spot. Jacobus finished in his
starting spot of 7th and Steve Hartman Sr., starting 18th, battled to ninth. Gil
Tegg rounded out the 10th spot. Track owner Vern Wasson has issued a challenge
to Billy VanPelt for next weeks show. Because VanPelt has 2 wins in a row,
Wasson has challenged him to start dead last in next weeks feature and if he
should win, will pocket an additional $500.00.Note that next weeks show will be
double points. VanPelt has accepted the challenge; so this will be one for the
records books should he get the checkered flag.
The Morgans Auto Repair Street Stocks ran a special 30 lapper with Brian
Knowles leading a field of 24 classy looking cars. Tony Foth wasted no time
getting the top spot after the green flag waved over the machines. Foth held on
the lead until around lap 10 when Dan Gordon and Black Rock regular Tim Gullo
started knocking on the door for the top spot. Last weeks winner, Gordon, gets
around Foth for the lead and pulls ahead of the rest of the field. A halfway
caution bunches the cars back up and Gordon finds Knowles and Gullo ready to
pounce. Jay Deming had a good run as he too finds himself in the top five with
the laps winding down. Foth battled Gullo for third spot but ends up dropping
back some towards the end. Gordon wins as Gullo takes 2nd followed by Knowles.
Deming has the 4th spot with Ken Thomas right in the mix topping the 5th
position. Foth, was 6th with 17th starter Jeff Smith crossing over in 7th. Rod
Mullen slips back from 4th starting spot, but holds on to 8th. Rounding out 9th
and 10th were Gordie Price and Don Knowles. Gordon was also offered the
challenge as a repeat winner, but has decided to think it over for next week.
20 laps was the distance for the 16 starting Napa Super Stocks. Heat winner
Wayne Robertson sat on the point as the field took the green flag and right away
a caution flies when last weeks feature winner, Glenn Whritenour, spins, sending
him to the rear on the restart. Larry Knowles takes the lead as pole sitter
Robertson goes pit side with a flat tire. Action resumes as Knowles maintains
his lead over Chris Clark with fast movers Kenny Peoples and Scott Brown
battling for 3rd. Whritenour wastes no time getting back to the front as he and
15th starter Dave Davis finds themselves in the top six halfway. Restart on lap
7 has Peoples challenging Knowles for the lead. Brown manages to catch Peoples
for second as Knowless lead stretches almost a half a straightaway. Good run
for Greg Young(5th) as he stayed in the top five throughout the feature and
finished 4th behind Knowles, Brown, and Peoples. Clark gets the 5th position as
Whritenour holds on for 6th. Good run for Bob Lubberts(14th), Mick Seeley(12th)
and Jessica Pierce(4) as these three drivers completed 20 laps 7th through 9th;
with Robertson battling back after the early pit stop getting the 10th spot.
Dennis Erdmann (pole) and Art Goodier(2) led the Signs Plus of Kanona Mini
Stocks for their 20 lap feature. Twenty six minis got the green flag with
Goodier jumping in the lead. A good round of different positions being tossed
around as Bill Shea (9th) sets his sights for the laed as he tears up through
the field. Goodier really has his hands full as Shea is like a pesky bee that
wont go way. It seems the more Goodier swats, the more aggressive Shea gets.
Halfway through, Goodier still has the lead with Shea and Erdmann close behind.
These three drivers get a break away from the rest of the field. Battling hard
to the front finds three drivers, Brian Grant, (11th), Todd Dickerson(18th), and
Adam Austin(24th) now in the mix for the top ten with 5 laps to go. Shea still
presses Goodier for the lead but each time, Goodier drives him low to the bottom
going into turn one, thus making Shea back off. Caution waves as Erdmann gets
turned around. Goodier loses the lead on the restart as Shea finally gets around
Goodier for the win. Great racing by both drivers. Grants takes 4th as Joe Dgien
climbs from 8th to 4th followed by Dickerson. Last weeks winner, Austin, placed
5th after starting 24th. Good run for Scott Madison as he came away with the 6th
spot; as well as AJ Costly, in his Ford pickup, finishing 7th after starting
fifteenth. Jason Ketrow(16th) and Casey Pavlick (23) also had an impressive run
finishing 9th and 10th. ( Note: Brett Marlatt (16 years old) started for the
first time in the 4 cyl. class with his first ever heat win. Marlatt moved up
the ranks from the S&W Awards and Photos Warriors.)
Bryce Davis visited victory lane for the second week in a row racing Craig
Crooker for the lead halfway into their 10 lap feature. The Signs Plus of Kanona
Warriors started with 5 drivers with Crooker leading them to the line. With
Davis close behind, Tom Austin Jr. snuck in there and these three youngsters
battled each other for half of the race. Austin loses his 3rd position when he
hits the wall hard in turn four, sending to the pits with right side damage.
Davis picks up the win after 2 laps later with Crooker second. Dylan Potter
started 3rd and ended there as well. Austin and Shane Pickering had to go to the
pits and was credited with 4th and 5th .
A first time winner at the high banks of Woodhull Raceway went to Justin McNeil
in the new class Lebarron Brothers Repair and Parts FWD Enduro. McNeil took the
lead right from the get go went flag to flag for their 15 lap event. Issac Byler
finished second with Bill Clark third. Brian Grant Jr. was 4th with Tim
Christian crossing over in fifth. Tom McGllnn rounded out the sixth and final
starting spot after a trip over the back stretch. Even though only six cars
started the race, at least 15 more have been registered to compete in this up
and coming class.
Double thumbs up to Vern Wasson and his crew for making the track surface dust
free and smooth for the drivers to compete on. Track announcer, Kenny Shupp,
even commented on how his feet were coming out of his shoes. Tacky makes
traction. GOOD JOB!!

BILLY VANPELT WINS SEASON OPENER AT
WOODHULL RACEWAY
WRITENOUR, GORDON, AUSTIN, DAVIS AND CONLEY ALSO GET THE CHECKERED FLAG
Woodhull, NY- Billy VanPelt walked away Saturday night with victory # 2 in the
T-3 All Star Series presented by Troyer Race Cars at the high banks of Woodhull
Raceway. This is the series second race of the season and the first of two
appearances as well at the famed track. VanPelt also captured the first win for
the mods 2 weeks ago at Blackrock. Speedway. Domination was the name of the game
for this driver as once he took the lead away from Stacy Jackson, he pretty much
kept a sizable lead over the other 31 starters. S. Jackson and Ron Cartwright
Jr. Had their battle as well as the two fought hard for the second place spot.
Cautions plagued the field early on but finally a rhythm was established.
Several back starters had impressive runs to the front as Gil Tegg (15th), Roger
Williams(8th), Mike Jackson(17th), Kevin Chilson(14th), Ron White(25th), Donnie
Lawson(27th) finished in the top ten. Front row starter Aaron Jacobus slid back
to 8th but still had a great run among all these top hard chargers. 33 laps was
the distance and the top prize earned $1200.00. Series promoters Ken and Mary
Shupp were on hand in victory lane to present VanPelt with a beautiful 6 5
trophy. The nights sponsors, Knight Settlement Sand and Gravel and Machuga
Contractors were also on hand to present plaques for all the winners. A sigh of
relief for new track owner Vern Wasson as last weeks activities were put on
hold do to inclement weather. Even though the night air was chilly, that didnt
seem to stop the crowd as an impressive show of support for all the drivers was
evident in the stands. Next weeks events will start the points chase for the
regular 358 Dirt Modifieds.
Also on the card was the Signs of Kanona Mini Stock 30 lap special. Dennis
Erdmann led 25 anxious drivers to the green flag to start a great mini stock
battle. Adam Austin showed a lot of muscle in the corners as his car just stuck
to the track. Austin as well as Ryan Davenport, Erdmann, fast movers Art Goodier
and Bill Shea, all stayed close together with swapping of positions by all.
Midway, lap cars became a factor as Shea gets around Davenport. Austin and
Davenport get a few car length advantage nearing the completion of this event.
Brian Grant(14th) clawed his way to the front and raced with Erdmann and
Goodier. Austin finished first with Shea close second. Davenport slid by in
third with Goodier, Erdmann, and Grant following in that order. AJ Costly, Joe
Dgien, Derek Mills, and Bill McCourt rounded out the top ten.
The Napa Super Stocks took to the track with Chris Clark in his beautiful
looking car leading the pack. 20 laps was the distance for these 19 racers as
Clark, Glenn Writenour, and Bob Clark fought for the lead. Writenours new super
stock was very impressive as he powered to the top in a hurry. Hard driving by
Clark as he tried several times on the high side to get a good bite to get
around Writenour. A good run for Donnie Guild as he stayed in the gas to keep
ahead of hard charging Ken Peoples Sr.(7th) and Larry Knowles(18th) .Wayne
Robertson stayed in the top 10 as well. Rich Marlott(15th) in a new ride and
Greg Crooker(17) battled hard and finished the front 10 along with Scott Brown
who slid a few spots back. Writnour collected the win Chris Clark second. Too
bad for Bob Clark as he had a strong racer but was sent to the pit with
mechanical problems. Guild was third as 12th starter Greg Young made an
impressive fourth place finish.
The street stocks sponsored by Morgans Auto Repair ran their 20 lapper with Dan
Gorgon capturing the top spot. Gordon and Brian Knowles raced each other hard
all night. Gordon, starting fifth, had the top spot by lap 2. David Morter
(first time driver ) kept second spot ahead of Knowles until a mishap with Tony
Foth. Morter was put on the hook and racing resumed with Gordon and Knowles
pulling away from the field. Knowles had to settle for second place. Ninth place
Josh Nobriga, finished third ahead of Ken Thomas. Don Knowles(12th) rounded out
the top five. Foth (10th) who even though endured some trouble, held on to
seventh place .Henry Miracle out of retirement, came from 15th to finish eighth.
Phil Hall and seventh starter Cliff Moss9 in a new car this year0 rounded out
the top ten. But the most impressive hard charger of the street stocks was Jeff
Smith (Wild Thing). This river really had no idea what his car would do as in
his heat race, he only made one lap as his car apparently was having fuel pickup
problems as well as in his hot lapping session. (1 Lap) Smith started dead last
among 21 starters and grabbed and impressive sixth place finish.
S&W Awards and Photos sponsored Warriors was won by Bryce Davis. Davis started
sixth but grabbed the lead on lap six. Davis had to race hard to get the top
spot as Tom Austin Jr. and Craig Crooker also wanted the lead. Crooker finished
second ahead of Austin Jr. Shane Pickering , Brett Marlatt and Dylan Potter
rounded out the top six.
A new class this year at the Woodhull Raceway as the LaBarron Brothers Repair
FWD Enduro Class took to the high banks for its in augural 15 lap event. Eight
cars took the green flag with Justin McNeil leading the way. It was fun watching
these cars scoot around the track and actually for a new class, these drivers
really seem to get a hang of the track as impressive passing by Brian Conley and
Dave Fink. The field pretty much stayed in line as the second half the feature
wound down. Sixth place starter Conley, took the lead and stretched to a half a
straight away eventually winning the 15 lap feature. Fink crossed the line
second followed by McNeil. Tom McGlynn, Isaac Byler and Kevin Patton finished
fourth through sixth. Brian Grant Jr. rounded out the seventh place position.
More cars are expected as the season unfolds.
