MANITOWOC, Wisc. (July 24) - For the third week in a row Mother Nature attempted to hamper the race fans plans of attending the races with possible rain in the forecast, but it turned out to be a beautiful night of racing. The race night was sponsored by Bank First National and the trophy sponsor was Waldo Oil Co., Inc. We were happy to have Holiday House join us for the races and there was a coin drop for the kids. Christmas in July was also celebrated.
The 25 lap Late Model feature saw Craig Schueffner (Sheboygan Falls) take the lead from his outside front row starting position. Tim Buhler crossed the line on lap six to claim the lead. Buhler threw his car in high gear and on lap eight encountered lapped traffic. Buhler smoothly made his way around the lapped cars. The only caution of the race came on lap 13 for the car of Rick Scheffler (Oconomowoc) spinning in turn four. Russ Scheffler and Gordie Seegert, Jr. were starting to put the heat on Buhler but Buhler had his sights on a victory. On lap 22, Seegert passed Scheffler for second but Buhler took home the trophy followed by Seegert, Scheffler, Schueffner, and Dan Sorce (Franklin).
