Welcome Race Fans,
RACE RESULTS – JRN RACING TAKES ON THE 1ST SUPER STREET RACE WITH A 2ND AND 4TH PLACE FINISHES.
Our first Super Street race of the season was this past Saturday. Jamie and Randy’s day started out great. The car’s were handling good and practice times were upfront. The rain got us mid afternoon and delayed racing for a short time hours. Randy qualified 3rd and Jamie qualified 6th.
The start of the race was little challenging. Both Jamie & Randy experienced wardrobe malfunctions in that neither had their racing gloves on for the start. This required them to come into the pits to get this corrected, but placed them at the back of the pack for the start. During the race, the cars & drivers drove well. The following excerpt from Langley Speedways website provides a summary of the race.
“Ryan Nester started on the pole, at 74.732 mph, and led all the way to win the 50-lap lid-lifter for the Atlantic Power Sweeping Super Streets.
As in the Modified event, missing gloves factored into the outcome as several drivers, including four of the top six, had to pull into the pits before the race to pick up the safety gear, losing their starting spots in the process.
When the green flag flew, Nester motored into the lead, followed by Doug Woodyard and Larry Venable. Before the first lap was completed, though, the caution flag waved as Randy Akers, Sean Calway and Jerry LaMontagne tied up in Turns 3 and 4. All three drivers were sidelined by the incident, a particularly tough pill for Akers to swallow, since he had to give up the outside pole before the start.
Back under green, Nester again jumped into the lead. Venable tagged along and took over second place, followed by John Foster, Randy Sample and a side-by-side battle between Rod Busitzky and Woodyard.
The second caution flag appeared
on lap 4 when someone strayed a bit off-track in Turn 3 and kicked some water up onto the racing surface.As the race resumed, Nester pulled out to a three-length advantage over Venable. Behind them, Busitzky snagged fifth from Woodyard and opened the door for Jamie Sample and Jonathan Mullett.
Lap 8 found the Sample brothers on the move as Randy took over third place from Foster, while Jamie scooted past Busitzky for fifth.
By lap 16, Randy Sample had closed in on Venable and was looking for the runner-up spot. With Sample’s #24 car filling his mirror, Venable began to close ground on the leader. At the halfway mark, Nester’s margin had been trimmed to little more than a car-length.
Randy Sample slipped by Venable for the second spot on lap 30 and quickly drove away. The swap of positions, however, allowed Nester to pad his lead. And, as the laps clicked off, the margin continued to swell.
At the finish, Nester was the winner by better than half a straightaway over Randy Sample. Foster was third, followed by Jamie Sample and Mullett. After running in the lead pack for most of the race, Venable faltered down the stretch, finally retiring to a 12th-place finish.”
Our next race is tonight. Racing starts at 7 pm.
