Wi Dirt Racin

Potential rain causes PDTR to delay Sprint Car driver introductions and extended features for a few weeks. Thank you to drivers and crews for their participation in making the evening a successful show before the rain drops descended.

Fans heard the rumbling of the 800 horse powered late models up first. Kyle Odekirk and Dave Thomas making up the front row side by side as the green flag waived. Odekirk took charge and stayed out front until Mitch McGrath grasped the lead. Rick Scheffler creatively worked his way through traffic unnoticed until a caution realigned the field, when he was already up to second. Odekirk, Jim Schmidt and Brad Mueller were engaged in their own competition for fifth place. McGrath had company close behind, unable to shake Scheffler lap after lap even through lapped traffic. Checkers flew for McGrath over Scheffler (both Waukesha) and Buhler (Glenbeulah) took home third followed by Jim Schmidt (Cleveland) and Brad Mueller (Random Lake). Hard Charger: Rick Scheffler passing 5 cars.
Heat Winners: Jim Schmidt, Rick Scheffler

Four wheelers brought out our Aldag Honald Mechanical Sprint Cars to be pushed off, discovering we had four sets of father/son racing teams all in the main event; Josh and Randy Walter, Danny and Al Schlafer, Mike and Mitch Yurmanovich and Tim and Nick Melis. Front row consisted of Chris Clayton our pole car followed by Josh Walter. Flagman waived the green and Josh Walter promptly pulled into the lead. Last week winner Donny Goeden, Kyle Marten and Danny Schlafer challenged one another for seventh place as a caution for Mitch Yurmanovich waived. Another quick caution, pace set by Walters out front with Paul Pokorski in his shadow. Jim Melis and Donny Goeden swapped positions until the checkers flew for Josh Walters (Plymouth) trailed by Pokorski (West Bend), Jim Melis (Glenbaulah), Donny Goeden (Kewaskum) and Tim Haddy (Waupan). Hard Charger: Donny Goeden passing 7 cars.
Heat Winners: Jim Melis, Tony Wondra (Campbellsport), Danny Schlafer

Feldmann Sales and Service Grand Nationals out next with a very fast front row, Nick Strobbe Jr. and last week winner Don Sorce Jr. Sorce jumped out to an early lead with Strobbe tight behind. Aaron Stolp spun out bring out a caution, after realigning the field James Pagel who started nineteenth was currently twelfth. By lap thirteen Strobbe was around Sorce for a corner until Sorce powered back. Tim Simon was matching Brad Lubach lap for lap, even switch positions for a lap. Lap fifteen brought lapped traffic with it, nothing Sorce wasn’t able to handle. Dan Sorce was only in third but his brother Don Sorce Jr. and Strobbe continued to pull away from the pack. Fans thought as more lapped traffic came into play that Strobbe may have a chance. Double checkers waived for Don Sorce Jr. (West Allis) with a three week winning streak and a new track record 10 minutes and 14 seconds with one caution. Nick Strobbe Jr. (Germantown) crossed second followed by Dan Sorce (Franklin), Mark Fieber (Cascade) and Brad Lubach (Kiel). Hard Charger: James Pagel passing 11 cars.
B Main top five were Kevin Lubach with a track record 3 minutes 26 seconds for twelve laps, Jonathon Singer (Random Lake), James Pagel (St. Cloud), Brandon Frank and Matt Yancy (both Sheboygan).
Heat Winners: Aaron Hauck (Plymouth), Brad Lubach (Kiel), Aaron Stolp (Milwaukee)

The competitive group of Outlaw Compacts up next with Brian Chiminatti and James Rautmann setting the pace for this fifteen lap feature. Rautmann controlled the field for only a lap until the Brody Rivest knocked on his back bumper eventually resulting in a swap for the lead. Meyerhofer charged hard to pass Rivest on lap seven. Travis Arenz and Jonathon Otte engaged in settling fifth position. Rivest did a little bump and run on Meyerhofer to take over the lead as the white flag waived. Checkers flew for Rivest (Sheboygan) for a second week, followed by Meyerhofer (Menasha), Justin Erickson (Plymouth), Chiminatti (Manitowac) and Arenz (Sheboygan).
Heat Winners: Ben Meyerhofer (Menasha), Brody Rivest (Sheboygan) with a track record 1 minute 46 seconds.

A very distinct sound creates tension as fans wait to see the Super Mods. Familiar cars, drivers and history with hand clutches in some of these cars. Two very experienced drivers on the front row Butchy Hafemann and Dennis Klumb. Hafemann sprang in the lead over Klumb, holding these spots until an unfortunate brake sending Hafemann into the infield. Klumb took control of the field and lapped cars. Johnny Fahl tried to get past Klumb a few times with no success. As the checkers waived for Klumb (Adell), Fahl (Browndeer) finished second followed by Mark Klumb, Dan Kruschke and Roy Stern (Hustisford).
Heat Winner: Butch Hafemann (Campbellsport)
