Tim Ice jumped out to the early lead and appeared to be cruising to an easy win while Mike Litchy was methodicly moving through the field from his eight starting spot in the Reed Salvage #8.

The 50 lap feature ran green to checkers in just under 15 minutes, Lichty was followed by Tim Ice in the 77, Timmy "J" (Jedrzejek) in the Soule 32, Trent Stephens in the 49, and Randy Ritskes in the 88. Randy was the top finishing Oswego regular to put a wing on. The day started out with 31 supers in the pits, 13 of them Oswego regulars that added a wing for the night. Oswego Speedway Champ, Otto Sitterly set fast time 15.368 followed by Trent Stephens 15.564 and Ray Graham 15.612.

Silver Crown driver Paul White's day ended early during warm ups when a wheel came off the "Sweet 16" and Paul ended up crashing into the foam blocks in turn one. Luckily Paul was all right but the car was done for the day.

For myself and many others attending "The Old Timers Reunion" weekend activities we had our breath taken away and a tear flowing from our eyes when new track owner Johnny Torresse paced the field in a repilca of Jimmy Shampine's famed 8 ball built by Steve Miller to start the feature.
