Stroud, Trimboli and Nowak Win to Close out Mountain Speedway Season
By: Gene Ostrowski
November 5, 2011
St. Johns, Pa- With Winter approaching, the final racing event of the season was
held Saturday at Mountain Speedway. With championships on the line, Walter
Stroud and Steve Trimboli drover off to wins in the 150-lap Mountain Madness
Enduro Series events and Kevin Nowak took his second straight INEX Legends
victory. With a healthy advantage over his competition, Alex McCollum drove off
with the Bandolero victory.
Eyeing his second straight championship, TJ Kapish came into the day as the
points leader in the 6/8-cylinder enduro division. He started from the pole and
led the opening circuit of the 150-lap double points paying event over Tom Szoke,
James Pressley, Walter Stroud and Scott Sipe.
Stroud climbed to second and then took the lead from Kapish on lap 18.
Meanwhile, Rob McCormick and Dominic Ranieri moved into the top five. McCormick
worked his way into second and then battled with Stroud for the top spot. He
completed the pass for the lead on lap 32 and Stroud slipped back to second.
The first and only red flag of the afternoon flew on lap 50 when Szoke climbed
the protective foam and guiderail in turn one. Track crews took his car from the
wall and Szoke continued in the event.
With the green flag back out, trouble struck McCormick on lap 57 and his machine
began to dump fluid on the speedway. He headed to the pits and retired from the
race. The turn of events gave the lead back to Stroud.
Behind the wheel of a four cylinder Mercedes, Steve Trimboli rocketed up to the
second spot. He grabbed the race lead from Stroud on lap 67 and began to
distance himself from the field. With just over 50 laps remaining, Trimboli held
the lead, followed by Stroud, Shaun Burd, Don Carasiti and TJ Kapish.
It appeared that Trimboli would take the victory, but Stroud closed in fast. The
pair ran side by side toward the checkered flag on the final lap and Stroud came
out on top. Trimboli settled for second, followed by Carasiti, Burd and Kapish,
who clinched his second straight championship.
Sam Ryan started from the pole position in the 150-lap 4 cyl. Enduro and led the
opening lap over Tony Rispin, Bruce Miller, Justin Martinson and Larry Spencer
III. Trimboli cracked the top five early and then climbed to the second spot
with Robert Fink in tow.
Looking for his second straight championship, Ken Harper motored toward the
front of the pack. However, lady luck didn’t shine on Harper and he lost a right
front wheel, which forced him out of the show on lap 25.
Ryan continued out front on lap 40 and had to contend with both, Trimboli and
third place, Rispin, as the trio ran nose to tail lap after lap. Rispin finally
overtook the leader on lap 86 and Trimboli followed. Trimboli has his shot at
the lead on lap 93 and both he and Ryan swapped the spot before Ryan was back in
command.
Many laps passed before Trimboli regained the top spot on lap 148. He went on to
take his first victory at the speedway over Ryan, Rispin, Fink and Spencer.
Rispin, who appeared to have a car to beat earlier in the race, had mechanical
problems and his car limped around the track in the closing laps. In a gallant
effort to endure the situation, Rispin clinched his first enduro championship.
Cole Fuatesi Started from the pole position and was overtaken by Carl Jones
before a lap was complete in the 30-lap INEX Legends Fall Championship. With one
lap in the books, Scott Hubler held second, followed by Raven Schrantz, Rob
McCormick and Kevin Nowak.
Hubler took the race lead on the second lap and then Nowak, who had climbed to
second, challenged him. Nowak made the pass stick and Hubler dropped to second.
Hubler made several attempts to retake the lead in doing so, brought out the
yellow flag on lap 17 when he spun in turns three and four. Nowak continued to
lead at that point, trailed by Kyle Soper, Tony Hanbury, Schrantz and Jones.
Green flag racing resumed and Nowak seemed untouchable over the closing laps, as
he drove off with his second straight victory at the speedway. Hanbury, who had
climbed to second earlier, was forced to settle for second, followed by Schrantz,
Zach Truesdail and Jones.
Despite his DNF, Hubler took the championship, which was his second in three
seasons at the speedway.
Heat race victories went to Kyle Soper and Kevin Nowak

Jared Landers Ready for World Finals at Charlotte
Batesville, Arkansas (11/02/11) – On the heels of a series of strong runs in
late-season specials Jared Landers is locked and loaded for this weekend's 5th
Annual Lowes Foods World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
The team returned to the state of Mississippi over the course of last weekend
for the 8th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin' 100 at Magnolia Motor Speedway
(Columbus, Mississippi). Sixty-six Super Late Models registered for action, and
in time trials, Jared was fifth fastest in his group to earn the second starting
spot for his heat race alongside pole-sitter, Jason Cliburn. Landers would jump
to the lead at the drop of the green flag, and never looked back on his way to
the heat win, which locked him into the third starting spot for the main event.
On Saturday night for the first half of the 100 lap, $15,000-to-win feature
Landers would battle at the front of the pack with Jonathan Davenport and Billy
Moyer. As the race progressed the handle began to go away on his mount as he
slipped to a seventh place finish at the checkered flag. Full results are
available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com.
This weekend, November 3rd-5th, the team will turn their attention to the 5th
Annual Lowes Foods World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte (Charlotte, North
Carolina) as Jared takes his #777 Crawford Supply/Rocket/ECR Racing Engines
Super Late Model into battle in the World of Outlaws-sanctioned event. The event
kicks off on Thursday night with two rounds of qualifying with the first round
of qualifying determining the lineups for Friday's $10,000-to-win event and the
second round of qualifying determines the lineups for Saturday's $10,000-to-win
finale. Landers had a strong run going at the state-of-the-art facility last
month during a World of Outlaws event before a broken axle late in the event
ended his night. For more information on the event, please visit
www.WoOLMS.com .

Be part of Maryland racing history. Creation Films of Louisville, Ky. is coming
to thr Reunion to begin filming a documentary on Maryland Stock car Racing. Ed

Dorsey Speedway in the '50's. Ed is the owner of Creation Films. Creation has
done several documentaries that have appeared on The History and other
