RAIN STOPS PERFECT START TO
RACING SEASON!
By Denny Grabenbauer
MARSHALLTOWN, IA
(May 8) - With a perfect record of five race nights in five race dates on
the line, “Mother Nature” on Mothers Day weekend made her presence know by
distributing liquid sunshine around 4:45 and it was enough for promoter Toby
Kruse to pull the plug. “Well, we were ready, but the rain that fell was
more than we could handle and for the first time this season, we had to
cancel,” said Kruse. This is really a hard one, the drivers were calling
and they kept coming, so we stayed very busy trying to get our guys stopped
before they got to far.”
For only the second
time since 1989 rain would cancel the “Cliff Chambers” Memorial. The first
time, before Friday’s rain out was in 1992 that rain would cancel this
event.
Through out the
first five weeks of racing the racing has been close and the point standings
show the results as drivers will re-group and prepare for next Friday’s
event. Two drivers have been as perfect as promoter Kruse. Mike Morrill in
the Mod Lite Dwarf Cars and Kevin Sather in the Big 8 Tyre Center I.M.C.A.
Both drivers have won every feature that they have been in which includes
the Frost Buster.
Next Friday night
will be the annual Scout, Shiners and FFA night at the speedway. All Scouts
wearing their uniforms will be admitted free at the grandstand. The gates
will open at 5:30, hot laps will begin at 6:45 and the first race of the
evening will get underway at 7:30.
