Auburndale Speedway kicks off a busy month of June with seven classes doing battle including the always popular School Bus Figure 8’s. The Modified Mini Stocks return to action and will be joined by the rough-and-tumble Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, V-8 Bombers, Scramblers and the Kids Club.

Scotty Sharpe contiues to head the Modified Mini Stock point standings by 36 over Jason Rendell while Rendell holds a 16 point edge over third place Mike Sweet. Lee Davis, who won here last month before sitting out the last race, blew an engine in his new car at Orlando last week and backed it into the wall. Davis may or may not have his mount repaired in time for this Saturday.

Another Mod Mini hot shoe who has been on the sidelines is Burt Morse although he is expected to return this week to try for his third win of the year.

The Street Stock point chase got a little closer once again last week as Matt McCrary has now closed back to within just two markers of leader Jeff Waterman. Dave Colpritt was a no-show last week but is still third in points, now 58 behind McCrary. With his win last week, James Wright III has closed to within just 24 points of Colpritt.

Scrambler points are really getting tight too as Kim Gullett has seen her lead shrink to just two over Bryan Tyre. Chad Cutting has his new Dodge Omni running faster and is third in the Scrambler point chase, 46 points behind Tyre.

Chris Spring has been on a tear lately in the Mini Stocks but Fred Harrison, Jr. continues to stay close just 14 points behind. Chris Narramore, Sr. is now 50 points behind Harrison and it looks like it will be these three deciding the 2010 Mini Stock championship now that Donnie Guy has “retired.” Guy still holds down fourth in points while rookie contender Jason Swilley has moved into fifth although it will take the youngster some time to catch Guy. Swilley will be sponsoring 20 free ice cream prizes this week as part of “Lindsey’s Little Racers.”

One class that is a complete runaway right now is V-8 Bombers. Josh Borem has made every race and now holds a 158 point edge over Buddy Phillips, Jr.

who was absent from action again last week. Third place Paul Bookmiller has moved up to the Street Stocks giving Borem even more breathing room.

NOTES:

Whover said the weather affects the crowd needed to be at Auburndale Speedway last week. Rain storms literally surrounded the track all day, some producing heavy downpours. The track itself received several showers throughout the day but not enough to cause any problems. By race time the skies had cleared, the moon came out and the temperature dropped to the lower

70s making it a fantastic night for racing which was witnessed by a big crowd of very enthusiastic fans.

“Lindsey’s Little Racers” again will be giving a pair of bicycles to a couple of lucky kids this week along with a couple of nice prize packages donated by Peebles Bar-B-Que which will include free dinner certificates. Money to purchase the bikes is raised each week through a special raffle and this week one of the prizes will be a pair of tickets to the Daytona 500 Experience, including the track tour, courtesy Daytona International Speedway.

June will be a busy month for Auburndale Speedway. June 12th sees the Auburndale Trucks back in action, then the Late Models go at it again on June

19th for 100 laps and $3,000 to win. The month wraps up on June 26th with the return of the Open Wheel Modifieds.

Track photographer Chuck Green (CG Photography of Largo) continues to put together some fantastic products for the drivers including montages, film strips and other unique photo items. Unlike many tracks where the photographer caters only to the drivers, Chuck has his area set up on the grandstand side (with his wife in charge) so that the fans can get pictures of their favorite drivers. Items like refrigerator magnets, desktop frame photos, and key chains are among the items they have each week and they will do special orders too.

BARBERVILLE, FL-  This Saturday night, June 5th, Volusia Speedway Park will play host to “Modified Mayhem” as the Budweiser Modifieds turn 30 laps in pursuit of a $1200 payout to the winner.  And while the mods will highlight the evening, expect equally exciting action from the Taylor Racing Products Sportsman Division, the Daytona Sportswear Street Stocks, the Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants Thunder Stocks, and the 4 Cylinder Challengers.

Several weeks ago there were rumblings and grumblings in the grandstand that the winners’s check in the Budweiser Modified Division could be rubber stamped with Jeff Mathews’ name.  But while Mathews came out swinging and set the bar high, everyone else stepped up their game and “The Repo Man” had some rather tough outings.  And if that does not convince some fans that Jeff Mathews is human and therefore fallible, then why is Jamie Carter still sitting atop of the season points standings?

Probably the most widely known jet car of all time would have to be the Green Mamba. Designed, built, driven, owned and just about anything else you can think of by Doug Rose.

Doug started out with the famous Arfon’s family. Doug drove one of the Green Monsters for them. After a crash that Doug lost his legs in, He came back and designed and built the Mamba.

The Green Mamba has been running all over the USA since the mid sixty’s. Today, Doug takes the Green Mamba out to the circle tracks and does his shows and car burns.  Currently based out of Florida, The Green Mamba and Doug are definitely worth the trip to see him in action.

The GREEN MAMBA Jet Car will be at Citrus Speedway tomorrow night (5/29/10).
Along with:
A 50 Lap Pure Stock Race,
The 4-Cyl Figure-8s,
A Fun Suitcase Race,
An exciting SCHOOL BUS Figure-8s,
and a special 4-CYL ENDURO Race.

This will be a great night for everyone. And the kids will remember the Jet car for a long time. So be sure to bring the ENTIRE family for a fun night at the races.

 NOTE:
Practice next week has changed from Thursday to Friday night.

Attention Late Model drivers:

After careful consideration, we have decided to modify the current LM rules as such:

1. There will be no restrictors mandated for the super late model motors. Spec, steel head, and 9:1 motors.

2. 9:1 motors will now weigh the same 2800lbs as the spec and steel head motors.

3. Crate motor cars will now weigh 2650lbs instead of 2700lbs.

These rules will be in effect for our local 50 lap late model shows. The FAST LM race on 8/7/10 will still be run under the FAST series rules. Any tech questions may be directed to Travis Nichols at 352-585-3560. For any other questions please call John Chance at 352-201-8257.
