      Ron Simpson held the pole as twelve Old Timers lined up for racing in their Feature event. Kail Beck, from the outside front row grabbed the lead early as Simpson battled Joe Dardingo for the second position. On lap four Dardingo moved up to the second position as George “The Jet” Jenson moved up to run third three laps later. There was a couple of yellow flags early as Roger Beck spun around in turn three and then Tom Cinnamon went around after getting the front end of his car tangled in Jenson’s rear bumper thus spinning him around with no further contact. On lap nine the yellow came out again as Cinnamon lost the rear tire on his machine and had to be towed off the track. On the restart, Beck got away to the lead and Jenson moved quickly into the second spot dropping Dardingo back to third. On lap fourteen, Jenson was able to get by Beck and into the lead but could not shake the younger Beck or Dennis Morneau who also moved up to challenge. Over the next several laps, these three drivers put on quite a show of racing as they ran door handle to door handle trading positions often. Morneau was able to actually lead lap twenty-two and three as the side by side racing continued with Beck still in the mix. Back on lap seventeen, the yellow came out as Roger Beck was entering turn one his clutch exploded on his car taking out the bell housing and fly wheel sending parts flying over the race track. The only other casuality was Joe Dardingo who suffered a punctured front tire on his car as he ran over some parts. Jenson, over the last few laps, held off the charge by Morneau and Kail Beck and went on to the win with Morneau finishing in second and Beck in third. Larry Joyce and James Miller rounded out the top five. Jenson explained; “I had to slow down just a bit for those few laps but put it back together for this win.” George is “running for the cure” this season raising funds to help in the fight against cancer. An emotional Jenson recalled family members and fellow racers who have been affected with cancer and “We all need to step up in this fight” he says. Each of the sponsors of George’s car donated one hundred dollars for the win and all proceeds will be donated to this very worthy cause.
