Wednesday, July 29 in conjunction with the Louisa County Fair. Sponsored by

Mod Lite division. Winners in the 4 Cylinder features were Geoff Theobald,
Wapello and Brad Chandler, Cedar Rapids.
Twenty four cars started the mod lite feature number one with Mike Kennedy
and Shane Hunter on the front row. Morrill took the lead on lap 2 of the
fifteen lap race leading the field around the 4/10 mile.
A green, white, checkered finish set up a battle to the checkered.
Morrill would hold off Shane Hunter to get his first win of the night.
The second Mod Lite feature started in reverse order of the finish of the
first feature with Michael Dominguez and Daniel Vincent on the front row.
Dominguez took the lead at the drop of the green leading the field for the
next three laps. On lap five, Dominguez and Johnny Mordock bumped sending
Dominguez into the wall and Mordock taking over the lead. But his lead would
be short as Morrill took the lead on the backstretch going to the outside of
Mordock. Morrill would pull away from the field and take the checkered flag
by several car lengths getting his second win of the evening. Hunter
finished second followed by Mordock and Josh May.
In 4 Cylinder action race fans saw two different winners with Brad Chandler
taking the first feature win and Wapello’s Geoff Theobald getting the final
feature win of the evening. Chandler took the lead from his front row start
