We forgot that Kamp was an hour ahead of us and we arrived there at six thirty instead of the five thirty we intended..... when we got there they were still working the track..they had got a shower before we arrived...as we went to our seats it started raining again but only for a short time.....
They got started around seven thirty...
We were really excited because Chad Kinder had brought both his late model and his modified..
Fast qualifier in late models was the #25 of Dan Walden..fast qualifier in modifies was #6h of Kevin Hastings..
They had these cute little mod lites which are also called dwarfs at some tracks...
There was a really scarey looking crash which one of them flipped over and landed on its top...thankgoodness they got out of the car on their own..... he was taken by ambulance back to pit area to be checked out... Brad Murphy won the feature..
In the late models
In heat one it looked like Chad Kinder had it in the bag... right from the start he got the jump on Jaymie Zidar ...........a caution comes out on first lap for the #3 who spins in turn two.......the #17 pulls off with 3 laps to go..... Chad was looking strong...very exciting watching him in that late model.....went passed the flag stand on the white and then going into turn one you could see him let off the gas....and then coasted to a stop 1/2 lap from the checker
... engine trouble once again...... what a disappointment for us and for Chad....he had that won................... all I know is that Zidar won the heat..... I was watching Chad...In heat two Michael Bradley and Leviner put on a good show..... Michael Bradley won....Eddie Leviner took 2nd...then the #10...then Griffis, Carlson, #15 and #22..
