anything on the micros?

Midget heat race winners were Brent Beauchamp, Brad Kuhn, Brad Loyet, and Kent Schmidt.

Thanks to everyone for making this a great night of racing and congratulations to Brad Loyet on an awesome race and winning his 2nd Charlene Meents Memorial.

It was a good race and probably would have been better if the right rears of Kuhn and Anderson weren't stuffed full of mud...

Did anyone in attendance notice the great run Brent Beauchamp had till he broke?

I think he started 3rd, right behind Loyet and was in 2nd early. Then he got a large chunk of mud from the unforgiving cushion in the right-rear . Did pretty good job huggie-poling and holding onto 4th considering the amount of vibration he was dealing with. Anderson got the same treatment late in the race. Hess came from deep in the field and just passed for 4th when the cushion knocked back, sending him in to the fence. All-in-all, another great night of two groove racing at Belle Clair Speedway.


Joe-B Miller was walking away with it early. Then the bottom went away and Derek King hustled the high side to win the micro feature ahead of Jacob Patton and Joe-B.

Here's what I had for the micro finish (not including the DNFs)

1.)D. King
2.) Patton
3.)Miller
4.)Br. Fitzpatrick
5.)Guyett
6.) Felker
7.) Montgomery
8.) B. Graybeal
9.) C. Graybeal
10.) Harris
11.) N. Benson
12.)Ruf
13.)Cox
14.)Russel
15.) England
16.)Neuman
17.) Plew
18.) McDaniel

Another great night of racing at a chilly Belle-Clair Speedway! I was a little surprised when they worked on the track before the B mains, but didn't touch it before the features. My friends and I felt they were attempting to move the program along because of the low temperatures, but the resulting heavy cushion bit several drivers and probably extended the length of the program beyond what it would have been if they had done their usual track tending before the features. Sure hated to see Mike Hess flip. He was really on the move, but I don't know if he had enough laps to catch Loyet or not. Of course, catching and passing are two entirely different matters.
If you have never attended a POWRi midget and 600cc micro race at Belle-Clair, you should make plans to do so next season. This is a great venue for viewing an auto race and the POWRi organization does an excellent job conducting their races.
I must mention what a great job the young lady did singing our national anthem. She has an excellent voice and sang it the way it is supposed to be done without the extra affectations that so many singers add.
POWRi announcer Jim Childers, who is always informative and entertaining, made mention of IOW several times during the evening. He also invited IOWers to visit with him after the race. Regretfully, I wasn't able to do so. I hope there will be another opportunity in the future.

It may seem odd to hear someone who works at another Friday night track say this, but for anyone making their first trip to Belle-Clair next year for one of the Sat. night POWRi shows, you might wish to check out Belle-Clair's Friday night stock car program as well. There's probably not too many tracks in America where you can see TWO drivers (Ed Dixon and Don Klein) with over 500 career feature wins each going at it each week.

The races are co-sanctioned by UMP and the Allied Auto Racing Association. AARA has been sanctioning races for litterally a half-century, and it shows, as they run a very timely program each week.
