Notes: Gary Miller (in his own freshly rebuilt #24) led twenty-six laps before chain and drive-wheel problems parked him for the night. But it was Chris Stevens (in his Galletta's #8 kart) inherited the lead and never looked back to end his winless dry spell that dated back to Fall 2004. Mike Billion (in his #57) held off points-leader Matt Stevens (in his Galletta's #3) for 2nd, continuing to impress in his rookie campaign. Mark Miller (in his #007) took a frightening spill when he locked wheels with the #57 (and possibly also Rob Jimenez in the rental Galletta's #5) early in the race. Mark flipped the #007 violently on his head, shoulders, and back with the #007 kart being on top of him at one point, but fortunately shook it off and continued the race with scrapes and bruises. He recovered enough for a 4th place finish. Mark did luck out when he lost yet another tire, but fortunately after the race completed. The Ogre, as usual, quits with minor, preventable problems in the fast Galletta's #4 kart and is dropping like a rock in the points standings. A scoring problem occurred when Dick Degroff, Mike Cleary and Jim Losurdo didn't properly get recorded by the sideline track officials because it was quite hectic action and there were some odd occurances back there during the race. Instead of re-scoring the entire event, Cleary and Losurdo were given the same 9th-place points, and because they're not regular competitors, they don't care about the points anyway so no harm. If they were regular, weekly competitors, we would have reviewed the video to ensure proper scoring. The rookie Jim Losurdo appeared to have a temper and did not acknowledge our rules (which are simple rules shared by most race-ways), which include if you make contact that causes a wreck, you must go to the back, and you cannot pass people under yellow. General rules that the man apparently can't comprehend. My goodness I would hate to think of the horror if that man was ever to have the reigns to run a track. Sheesh! Videotaped race (via 2 cameras).
