BRETT MARTIN, JAREN ISRAEL, JIM STONE AND AUSTIN SUSICE TAKE WINS AT RANSOMVILLE
SPEEDWAY
Ransomville, NY – Friday, May 10, 2013 Ransomville Speedway battled the weather all day last Friday trying their best to beat mother nature. A dismal forecast proved wrong through-out the day as rain subsided by noon. Unfortunately it would make a return during the Investor’s Services Sportsman main and bring the race night to a close. The Investor’s Services Sportsman was over half way and therefore complete while the Mighty Taco Modified main was held over until Friday, May 17th making it a double feature main for the head-lining class. A total of ninety-seven cars filled the pit area for Johnston’s Restaurant night at the Big R.
Brett Martin of Burt, NY emerged the victor aboard the twenty-five lap Investor’s Services Sportsman main event. By virtue of a tough feature finish the week prior, Martin found himself on the front row for the start of the feature. Martin would not waste any time as he took the lead at the drop of the green and held it through lap nineteen when mother nature opened up the skies. Martin would be awarded the win followed by Adam Hilton, Bobby Winters, Jesse Cotriss, and Justin Sharp. For Hilton – it was his best finish of his career at the Big R as he makes the Big R home for Friday nights in 2013.
Jaren Israel of Wilson, NY debuted a brand new hot rod aboard the Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock division last Friday and proved it was as fast as it looked as he captured the win in the twenty lap main. Israel inherited the lead on lap eighteen when current leader Brian Lonneville suffered mechanical woes. Israel would hold Mike Greenawalt at bay and collect his first win of the season. Greenawalt enjoyed his best finish of the season in second followed by Webb Nashwinter, Pat Dell, and Jason Meyers. Cliff Brucker led the early going prior to suffering handling issues on lap four. Getting caught up in the mishap was Mike Short.
Jim Stone of Ransomville, NY took top honors aboard the twelve lap FinditQuick.com Fireball main event. Stone took the lead away from Anthony Hermanson when Hermanson suddenly slowed on lap seven with mechanical woes. Stone had to contend with fellow Ransomville Fireman Jim Harbison who was glued to his bumper through the final half of the main. Pulling side by side with a pair of laps remaining, the pair gave fans their monies worth as they battled for position. The defending champion would hang on and take the win over Harbison, Zack Sam, Chris Lederhouse, and Chris Leone. Leone was piloting a borrowed car from Jason Fuller after suffering mechanical difficulties in his #62 during qualifying.
Pat OKeefe took another wild ride aboard his #77 machine. While battling with Jim Stone and Jim Harbison, OKeefe made contact with the turn one concrete wall on lap three resulting in OKeefe going up and over. While OKeefe emerged a-okay, the same couldn’t be said for his racer. As many will remember, OKeefe flipped a total of five times two weeks prior at test, tune, and time.
Austin Susice of Ransomville, NY captured the win in the twelve lap Gippster’s Collision 4 Banger feature main. Susice took the lead away from Jeff York on lap nine and held the remaining distance. Susice battled his cousin Brett Senek along with York through the middle stages. All three drivers would be credited with leading a lap as they put on a great show for the fans. With Susice in command, the battle on the track was for second between Senek and York. Contact was made with a pair of laps remaining sending them both to the back of the pack. Opening night’s winner Jose Torres came home in second followed by Mike Hossfeld, Corey OKeefe, and Eric Tupper. Both Susice and Senek are graduates of the go-kart ranks and have adapted to the big track quickly.
Coming up next week is a Full Card of Mighty Taco Modified’s. Investor’s Services Sportsman, Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstocks, FinditQuick.com Fireballs, and Gippster’s Collision 4 Bangers. The first extra distance event of the season will take place on Friday, May 24th as the Mighty Taco Modified’s kick off the Holiday weekend with a fifty lap special.
