East Bay Action Fast & Furious

Tampa, FL – David Reutimann’s Annual “David Reutimann Foundation” visit to his home state of  Florida, focuses most of it’s attention on his hometown of Zephyrhills. Each year this local racer, doing very well in NASCAR, gives back to his roots. Through his Bar-B-Que & Auction on Friday night, plus the Saturday morning Charity Golf Tournament, David has raised over eighty-three thousand dollars this week for the many charities benefiting from the David Reutimann Foundation.

Saturday night all the attention turns to East Bay Raceway Park, when David continues his Charity events with the “David Reutimann Foundation 50.” A 50-Lap Open Wheeled Modified Feature event that includes David, his father Buzzie, cousin Greg Reutimann and this year, a Reutimann Racing sponsored rookie Kyle Peterson, from Concord, NC.

Auburndale Concludes 2010 Points Races

By Dave Westerman

GEORGIA INVADER RAYHALL TOPS IN LEGENDS – STREET STOCKS FALL TO HALL

Kyle Hall Gets first feature win of 2011

Auburndale Speedway concluded the 2010 regular season in style Saturday night with some great racing as three of the four regular classes saw first-time winners. A light rain shower delayed qualifying by about a half-hour but the night proceeded without any more precipitation and a bright full moon in the sky.

Even though several “regulars” like point champion Jake Perkins and runner-up Gerald White, Jr. failed to show, 22 Legend Cars still filled the pits with St. Cloud’s Brandon Thomson setting quick time at 15.046 seconds.

Kory Abbott’s 15.172 was second fast while Lynn Wiles and Georgia invaders Sean Rayhall and Mason Massey were fourth and fifth quick.

A re-draw among the top six qualifiers found Rayhall on the pole for the 50-lap feature race with sixth fastest timer Dakota Baggette on the outside pole. Quick qualifier Thomson started fourth.

The two Peach State youngsters, Rayhall and Massey quickly jumped out front at the start. Abbott passed Massey for second on lap three only to see that pass negated by the first caution flag that appeared for Danielle Stratton who spun on the backstretch. (more…)

A Full Moon And A Completed Season

by Jimmy Rouse- Ocala Speedway Media

It was the final night of action in 2010 at Ocala Speedway and the races didn’t disappoint. The Late Models headlined the night while the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks and Gladiators battled for points. The Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks had their night where no winners from 2010 were allowed to run and the fans saw some great racing all around.

Up first were the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks and everyone in the field wanted to prove that they could win. On lap 2, Eddie Lake took his 96 for a spin while Gordon Cade and Michael Carr made contact that neither needed. When the race got back under way, Lake started charging to the front. (more…)

Woodhouse, Watson East Bay First Timers

By Larry Jewett

Buck Woodhouse

It was a case of persistence as two drivers were rewarded with cherished first victories in the five-division action at East Bay Raceway Park.

The program opened with Precision Kia Street Stocks and Buck Woodhouse jumped from the front row to the early race lead. The event saw its first caution when point leader Donnie reed tagged the wall and went to the pits with a flat tire. Roy Woodhouse lost a wheel on the next restart, yielding a top five spot. Buck Woodhouse kept the lead, ahead of a hard charging Eric Moon through a series of cautions. A flat tire eliminated challenger Thomas Pratt on lap nine, which proved to be the last restart. Buck Woodhouse was able to go wire-to-wire to grab the victory. Woodhouse has used steady finishes to hold a top three position in points, now adding the cherished victory. Moon claimed second, ahead of Reed, who mounted a strong charge to third. Clarence Pratt and James Hook rounded out the top five. Buck Woodhouse and Moon claimed preliminaries. (more…)

Doug Moff Gets PGS Modifieds

PGS Media

Punta Gorda Speedway saw Fourteen modifieds rolled out for qualifying on a beautiful full moon Saturday night and the # 46 of Doug Moff set fast time on a tight field with 12 cars within a half second.  After the redraw it put the #12 of Eric Rudd on the pole and Moff starting outside pole.  From the drop of the green flag Moff and Rudd had quite a battle running side by side for many laps.

There was some great racing just behind the leaders between Kyle Bookmiller, Jimmy Wilkins and Steve Arnold.  After a caution on lap 18 would send Arnold to the rear the battle continued up front between Moff and Rudd, Sean McLaughlin in the 99 machine making a charge on the outside mixing it up with Bookmiller and Wilkins.

Josh Williams wins Al Neumann Memorial

KARNAC Media

Al Neumann's #4 driven by Todd Blevins

A solid field of 20 Pro Trucks took the green flag at Punta Gorda Speedway Saturday night in a memorial race for ‘Big’ Al Neumann.  Al was a fixture in Florida truck racing for many years in the familiar #4 .   Todd Blevins of St Petersburg drove the #4 in the race won by Josh Williams of Port Charlotte.  Steven Darvalics set fast time in qualifying for the truck race.

Al Neumann was one of the original Florida truck racers, moving from DeSoto Late Models to run with Bobby Diehl’s Fastruck Series.  Al had a second place at Charlotte County in 2007 and then won the feature in October 2007 at DeSoto Speedway.

Neumann appeared many times on KARNAC’s Racin Talk Radio and Real Racing USA shows. He did his last interview on Real Racin USA on October, 8, 2007 on the heels of his DeSoto win.   That interview is available at this link.

Randy Kile was back in the winners circle in the Road Warrior divisions, while Tim Simmons took the Champ Kart feature.

John Bailey out ran Dwarf Car newcomer Rob Kohler to take the feature.

Top Gun Sprints Highlight Ocala Excitement

by Jimmy Rouse – Ocala Speedway Media

A crazy night at Ocala Speedway had flipped cars, championship changes, and great battles all night long. The Top Gun Sprint Cars rolled into Ocala for the final time in 2010, the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks and Mini Stocks ran their final points events, the Gladiators battled, and the ladies competed in the Powder Puff race.

The Mini Stocks ran the first feature of the night and had the closest points battle of the 6 divisions at Ocala. Nick Kerr held 9 points over his father, Dan Kerr, going into the final night. At the beginning of the night, Buddy Pope jumped out to a lead and held it until half-way. Nick Kerr took the lead at this point and went on to win another feature en route to a Mini Stocks championship. Buddy Pope put a great effort in for 2nd while Dan Kerr took a hard fought 3rd. Sean Babcock finished 4th and Paul Combast took 5th right at the end. In victory lane, Dan waited for Nick to finish his burn-out and take championship pictures. (more…)

LILLEY TOPS AUBURNDALE TRUCKS BUT SOZIO TAKES CHAMPIONSHIP

By Dave Westerman

Tim Sozio -2010 Auburndale Truck Champion

Several classes crowned their point champions Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway under perfect racing conditions including a pair of youngsters who don’t even have a drivers liscense yet and a driver with so many track titles, he’s lost count.

Tim Sozio and Jim Cowhey, Jr. came into the evening’s Auburndale Truck races separated by just four points and Cowhey trimmed that to just two with a victory in the Truck heat race.

Cowhey immediately began to set the pace in the 25 lap feature but Sozio and Keith Lilley were not far behind right on his tail gate. Brent Tyler, who came into the night’s event third in points suffered engine problems in the heat race and started the feature just to earn last place points before he disappointedly pulled off after a lap was in the books.

Cowhey was determined to stay out front looking for his first win of the year, but Sozio, the DeBary youngster who just turned 15 years old, had other ideas and snared the lead on lap 17 while Cowhey drove a bit too hard into turn one trying to get in line in front of Lilley and looped his mount to bring out the caution.
