BRIAN BROWN LEADS ALL 20 LAPS TO VICTORY IN THE FALL CLASSIC 360 SPRINT SHOW AT 24 RACEWAY
by: Report by Pamela Hassler, with repeated promo by Ron Lueck - 24 Raceway, Moberly, MO.

MOBERLY, MO (Sept. 17) - A beautiful crisp Saturday evening on Sept. 15, 2007 brought 96 race cars to the high-banked dirt oval of the 24 Raceway in Moberly, MO for the 360 Fall Classic. On hand for their 4th appearance this season were the fast Winged Outlaw Warriors (W.O.W.) 360 cu.in. Sprint Cars racing in addition to the regular classes of cars. Before the racing action began, 23 race cars and 10 track vehicles sat in silence on the front stretch for the memory of Bob Hubert, who passed away unexpectedly on Friday night, Sept. 14. Known as Mr. Mopar, Hubert was the owner of the #40 B-Modified driven by Dave Kinder and was a long-time mechanic. Two parade laps of the vehicles led by Kinder was a touching tribute to a nice man who will be greatly missed. The track personnel and friends express their deep condolences to his family.

RACE RESULTS:

HORNETS:
Once again, Rob and Kristi Chase, a husband and wife team, earned the front row feature seats from winning their respective heats, but this time with better results at the checkered flag than that unfortunate double roll over back on July 28. Rob (#3 Clark) took off and kept a big lead throughout and accepted yet another win for the season. The next 4 spots were generally a close follow-the-leader. Jerry Warren (#04 Moberly) crossed the line in 2nd. Kristi Chase (#33 Clark) battled with Devin Still (#73 Anabel) and finally passed under him on the last lap to gain the 3rd spot in front of Still who took 4th. Following nearby and making good passing attempts was 5th place finisher John Doctorian (#2 Wentzville). Good race!

HOBBY:
Kevin Renzelmann (#41 Huntsville) was victorious once again, this time running the low line around the turns. He was challenged often by Clayton Crump (#3C Centralia) who had to settle into the 2nd place. Tom Creed (#17 Moberly) had a good run and finished 3rd after battling side by side with Tom Elsen (#11 Clarence) who followed in 4th. Steve Hisle (#01 Liberty) accepted 5th after taking advantage of a spin by DeWayne Eravi (#3 Moberly) with 4 laps to go. Way to go, guys!

MOBERLY MOTORS B- MODS:
Bob Woodrow (#3 Hannibal) led all of the 15 laps in the caution-free feature to accept yet another victory. Some very close competition occured between Gary Wilson (#11 Holliday) and Jeff Waterman (#71 Quincy, IL) which resulted in Wilson taking 2nd followed in 3rd by Waterman. Craig Spegal (#7S New London) made impressive moves from the rear of the pack to work up to 4th place. Michael Bliven (#38JB Quincy, IL) grabbed 5th, and with a nice fan club present. Good driving!

W.O.W. (WINGED OUTLAW WARRIOR) 360 CU.IN. SPRINT CARS:
Because of some sprinkles from the sky, the decision was made to bump up the Sprint Car 360 Fall Classic feature to this position in the show. Five cars advanced to the rear of the main feature by qualifying from the Consolation Race. Gabe Maycock (#86M Middletown) won the Consi, followed in order by Curtis Evans (#1P Norborne), Curtis Boyer (#72 New Haven), Kim Kennedy (#1K St. Joseph), and Dustin Barks (#22x Farmington).
The feature event displayed powerful motors and fast action. Brian Brown (#21 Grain Valley) refused to lose and stormed into the lead which took him to the checkered flag. Randy Martin (#14 California) also chased after the win but earned a respectable 2nd. Earlier in the race a young hard-charger, Jon Corbin (#4X Carrolton), unfortunately blew an engine from his 2nd place, but could have been a top contender after he'd won his heat race and started on the front row of the feature. Terry Hinck (#21H Boonville) maintained his 3rd place throughout followed in 4th by Natalie Sather (#94 Fargo, North Dakota), who drove with impressive confidence. Crossing the line in 5th was Jonathan Cornell (#28 Sedalia). These cars could stick to this track and the front runners drove like they were on a rail. Super nice race!

MFA OIL/BREAK TIME SPORTSMAN:
Jeff Creed (#01 Cairo) and Pete Agee (#14 Huntsville) had quite an engaging competition for several laps until Agee unfortunately had a spin in turn 2. Creed then succeeded in holding his lead to victory. A duel then tightened up with Rick Girard (#0 Columbia in Creed's back-up car) sliding in front of 23 year old birthday boy Randy Rindom (#42X Moberly) to accept 2nd and 3rd respectively. Young Derrick Agee (#14Jr Huntsville) stayed at the front of the pack in 4th place. Coming in 5th after charging up from the rear was Billy Apel (#4 Renick). Good Show!!

A-MODIFIEDS:
Vance Wilson (#66 Frankford) managed to hold off one of the hottest drivers in the area, visitor Danny Crane (#78 Columbia who won the Point Championships at both Callaway Raceway and Lake Ozark Speedway). It was quite a show between these 2 super drivers. The next four racers searched desperately and provided great entertainment with side by side racing and passing. Crossing the line in 3rd was Joe Bradshaw (#8X Sedalia). Fourth through sixth positions went to Kenny Mudd (#07 Winfield), Terry Wilson (#15 Bowling Green - who powered up through the pack from the last position), and Kelly Smith (#82 Kirksville). Good racing once again!

Next week, Saturday September 22, the racing season will conclude at Moberly's 24 Raceway with the annual S.S. Autosport.com All-Star race. The five classes that have competed each Saturday night of the 2007 season will race one more time, with five special ten-lap races following the night's regular features. The winner of each of these additional ten-lap races for all of the five weekly classes of A-modifieds, Moberly Motors B-mods, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and 4 cylinder Hornets will get their car's picture posted for the 2008 season on the website banner for www.24racewayinmoberly.com .
