UNITY RACEWAY – AUGUST 15

Aug 18, 2008 |

After mother nature gave us a rainy week off, the racing returned to Unity Raceway under the watchful eye of the full moon. The Geo & Sons Teen Thunder class was full of excitement. The heat race saw a very slow pace set by the front runners allowing Shelby Kimball to shoot to the early race lead. Ricky Palmer and Jordan Hawes were able to catch the Kimball machine. All three competitors went for the same groove in turn one forcing the trio into the banking. This put Ben Nile in the lead for the heat race win. The feature saw the 68 machine of Brandon Greenleaf jump to the lead when the field got jumbled up on the start. Jeremy Ludden and Ben Nile cleared the traffic and went looking for Brandon Greenleaf. Brandon Greenleaf looses grip over the front stretch lip allowing Ludden and Nile to catch up. Nile and Ludden are able to use the inside groove to clear the slipping Brandon Greenleaf. Nile is having problems with lapped traffic. This allows Ludden to keep up with Nile. Nile crosses the line first for his second win of the season. Ludden continues with is fine runs in second. Brandon Greenleaf follows the pair in third.

RACING JULY 4 at Unity Raceway

Jul 7, 2008 |

The fireworks at the New Spirit of Unity Raceway wasn't the only thing lighting up the sky. The Men's Peanut division 30 lap feature was just one of the night's outstanding events. Newcomer Zach Audet and Ryan Ripley drove off to an early lead. This two would go door to door until Ripley would take the lead. Derek Cook and Tim Robinson are gaining on the leaders from the back of the pack. These two would catch Ripley and use the outside groove to pass for the lead. Cook would maintain a slight lead over Robinson. Robinson would try everything he could to get around Cook. Cook's machine developed a smoking problem from the right front tire shortly after the half way mark. This problem would remain throughout the rest of the race. The smoking didn't slow the 88 down. Cook would cross the line first, only to have the win taken away in post race inspection. The win would go to the 62 of Tim Robinson. Ryan Ripley would take home the second place trophy. In his first Unity Raceway appearance, Zach Audet would take third. Kyle Gallant and Chris Williams would finish out the top five.
