Thunder Mountain Results for July
18th
Gary Card Jr. and Ken Hammond
brought the AutoWorks of Ithaca Sportsmen-Modified
field to the green flag on Friday night at Thunder
Mountain Speedway in Center Lisle NY. Card took the
early lead with Hammond following close behind until
lap 10 when Jim LaRock slipped by for second place.
Current championship point leader Eddie White
followed LaRock past Hammond to move into the third
spot. Four laps later white passed both Card and
LaRock to take the lead. With five laps remaining
LaRock got by Hammond for second . At the finish it
was Ed White taking the win with LaRock finishing in
second, P.J. Goodwin finished third with Card fourth
and Kevin Jordan fifth.
With Tom Eiklor having suffered engine damage in his
heat and Sean Lias’s mid-season run of bad luck
continuing the Hunt’s Auto Service IMCA Modified
feature presented a golden opportunity for the
remaining drivers to take their first feature win of
the season at the track. Eiklor picked up the ride
in Don Reeves Jr.’s car for the feature and was
forced to start at the back of the pack. Pole sitter
Mike Stoddard took the early lead and held off Jerry
Lobdell throughout the early stages of the race. On
lap 9, Dave Burrows was able to pass Lobdell for
second and set his sights on the leader. But, a
tangle with Stoddard in turn two on the 14th sent
Burrows to the pits with front end damage ending his
night. This put Lobdell on Stoddard’s back bumper
with Chris Fleming holding down the third spot.
Fleming got past Lobdell for second when the caution
came out for Stoddard putting Fleming in the lead.
Fleming held off Lobdell for the final three laps
and took his first career IMCA Modified feature win.
Lobdell finished second with K.C. Cole third, Tyler
Stoddard fourth and Mike Stoddard fifth.
The Marsh brothers led the Hunt’s Auto Service
Hurricane Street Stocks to the drop of the green
flag with Randy taking the early lead. His lead was
short-lived as fifth starting John Cooper Jr., took
the lead on the second lap. Ninth starting Earl
Zimmer was on the move and by lap 6 had over taken
Cooper for the top spot. But Cooper came right back
and recaptured the lead four laps later. On lap 17
Randy Marsh slipped past Zimmer for second as the
top five cars pulled away from the pack. At the
finish it was John Cooper Jr., picking up his first
win of the season with Randy Marsh taking a season
high second place. Earl Zimmer crossed the line
third with Don Russell Jr., fourth and Kurt Decker
fifth. Austin Welch took the lead at the start of
the Road Bandit main event. Championship point
leader Nick Griest took over the lead on the fourth
lap and went on to take the win. Ray Oakley second
with Bobby Edwards third, Matt Tripp fourth and
Wayne Ross fifth.
Jim Money started on the pole and lead every lap of
the 4 Cylinder Super Stock feature event. Brent
Miller finished second with Cyrus Homer third, Jerry
Wilcox fourth and John Carter fifth. Stan Wayman had
the Road Bandit feature event under control until
Paul Lockwood slipped by with two laps remaining to
take the win. Wayman finished second with Rick
Frisco third, Nicky White fourth and Jessy Velez
fifth. Ashley Jones took the lead from Dawn Gigliuto
on the fifth lap of the Pussycats feature event. The
race was halted with six laps completed when
Gigliuto suffered a flat right front tire that dug
into the track sending her car flipping. The race
was red-flagged and ruled complete giving the win to
Jones. Tammy Welch was second and Cammie Sack was
third.
