| The "King" Takes Flingos Memorial Fla Pro Race at Hialeah | HIALEAH, Fla. - Dick Anderson proved once again why he is the leading late model driver in Florida this season as he took the lead on lap 33 and sped to the victory in the Florida Pro Series Bill Flingos Memorial 100 Saturday night at Hialeah Speedway.
Things got off on the wrong foot as several cars tangled on the opening lap with fast qualifier James Powell one of the victims. With the field realigned the green flag few with pole man Jim McCoy in command. Anderson, who started the century run from third spot, quickly pressured second running Mike Bresnahan and got past him on lap two and began to work on leader McCoy.
Lap after lap they circled the flat third-mile oval in the same order with Anderson looking both inside and outside of McCoy. Finally, off turn two on lap 33, McCoy slipped and Anderson shot into the top spot with Bresnahan following in the runner-up slot. They ran to the checkers in that order followed by Mike Franklin, Jr, local driver Danny Maddox and Scott Grossenbacher.
Point leader Rick Lutz inherited the victory in the 25 lap street stock feature when apparent winner Billy Joyner could not get his mount past the tech inspectors after a wire to wire run. Gary Padula, who flipped in the heat race, came back to claim second money over Mike Orth, Pat Flack and Scott Crisafulli.
Mini stock regular Tim Jones finally put his mechanical woes behind him to claim his first win of the season in the 25 lapper. Tommy Styer, looking for his first win, claimed second money ahead of Thomas Cepeda, Bill Calder and Vinny Argiro.
Roger Bohannon notched his seventh victory of the year with a steady run in the cyclone 25 lap feature. Mike Powers gave chase to claim second spot ahead of Bill Flanigan, Harvey Freeman and Charles Whitehouse.
