Blaine Schubarth took his second victory of the season in spectacular style on Saturday September the 5th at -I76 Speedway. Starting the main event from 5th on the grid Blaine quickly made his way through to second early on as Mike Rotramel in the 25 made a great start to lead the early running. After an early caution Blaine took the lead and was never headed as he took a handy lead to the checkered flag.

The closest battle of the night was between Scott Wilson in the 7 and Steve Becker in the 31. After a race long battle going back and forth it was eventually Wilson who took the second spot ahead of Becker in third.

Rounding out the top 5 was Troy Ullery in the 1T in fourth and Dale Johnston in fifth, both drivers putting in solid drives on a low grip track.

Special mention this week goes to the 24B team of Johnny Boos, who turned around a series of misfortunes early in the night to recover to an 8th place finish.

Glenn Waterland took the win on September 4th at Byers to make his first trip to victory lane with the wings on board. After a great battle with Steve Becker early, Waterland took the advantage on the only yellow flag restart of the night. Becker in the 31 came home in second.
Highlight of the night was seeing number 60 Gary Helkin take the final spot on the podium after a race long battle with the 9F of Andy Flood. Gary shows his commitment to the sport every week as he makes the long journey from Montrose, Colorado every week to race with the RMLSA so it's great to see that dedication rewarded with a podium place.
The top five was rounded out by Andy Flood and John Frasier in the 11.

Glenn Waterland in the 11c took his third win of the year last Saturday on a superbly prepared I-76 Speedway. Waterland started from the 8th spot on the grid and quickly moved through to the lead on lap 3, from here he survived two cautions to pull away for the win.
In second place was the ever consistent Troy Ullery in the 1T. Troy started in the 11th spot and had one close call as he rode a wheel as he made his way through traffic.
Number 5, Brandon Steele made a welcome return to the track and showed his class to take the final podium spot after 3 years away from the drivers seat.
Steve Becker in the 31 enjoyed a strong night to come through from 13th on the grid to finish in fourth. Unfortunately Steve gave up a the final podium spot on the last lap as Steele fought his way through.
The top 5 was rounded out by car 7, Scott Wilson, who also took a heat race win on the night to make yet another strong points haul. This result moves Scott up to second in the points.

Uncharacteristically there was damage to some of the cars, with Johnny Boos, Davy McCray, Paul Babich, Andy Flood and Dale Johnston all ending up with bent parts and pieces. Let's hope the damage wasn't too bad and we'll see them all back soon.
