A great field of 23 signed in to race on Memorial Weekend Saturday. Despite heavy rain in many parts of the state, the weather gods were smiling on El Paso County Raceway and with only a few drops of rain during hot laps the racing was uninterrupted by the weather.
The main event was taken out by Brent Rees after some great battles for the lead throughout the race. The podium was completed by the ultra consistent Troy Ullery and Matt Martinez who proved that bad luck has nothing to do with the 13th grid spot.
Rounding out the top five were Dave McCrea who's joined the RMLSA from the legends class and Blaine Schubarth who fought back after being tangled early on.
Unfortunately the second night of the memorial weekend double header was rained out so the next time we'll see the lightning sprints back on track will be at I-76 Speedway on June the 20th, we hope to see you then!
