MOTOR MAYHEM
July 10, 2009
Webster, Audet prevail in Enduros;
Bruce ditches Dennis in Berry battle
OXFORD, Maine – A few newcomers flexed their muscles before a big
crowd at Friday's first Motor Mayhem event of the season at Oxford
Plains Speedway.
Experience still reigned, however, with Acceleration Series veterans
Zach Audet and Charlie Webster scoring the victories in twin, 50-lap
Enduros.
Audet dominated the full-size scrap
for his first triumph at the track above the 4-cylinder threshold.
Webster repeated some of his past glories with an impressive
performance in the Compact segment of the program.
Both men pocketed $500 for their efforts.
In other action, Bruce Berry survived a tangle with brother Dennis
in the opening round of the final to capture a 2-1 victory in the
best-of-three Spectator Drags.
Jim Pineo squealed his 1972 Monte
Carlo to victory in the Smoky Donut Show, winning the crowd-pleasing
contest over Josh Laird and six other hopefuls.
Gerald Parlin and Randy Robitaille collected the checkers in the
20-lap Tag Team race when it was ruled that apparent winners Jamie
Heath and Craig Bartlett failed to legally complete one of the
prescribed "tags." Skip Douglass Jr. and Jimmy Childs
claimed second.
Webster and Kyle Hewins swapped the lead seven times over the first
15 laps of the Compact Enduro before Webster set sail. Douglass
drove around Hewins in the late stages to snag second. Jamie Heath
and Corey Williams completed the top five.
Jim Bradstreet led for a spell in the full-size finale before Audet
took over and put the entire field one lap in arrears. Bradstreet
ran a strong second with Bobby Scammon third in the first racing
endeavor of his life.
Keith Landry made his 2009 OPS debut in fourth, followed by Motor
Mayhem mainstay Mike St. Germain in fifth.
The next Motor Mayhem is scheduled for Friday, August 7, featuring
the Dodge Raminator Monster Truck and a full slate of
non-traditional racing activity.
