SNYDER, JONES, GOODIN AND MEFFORD AMONG MID-WEEK WINNERS AT HAWKEYE DOWNS

 

By Brad Grupe

 

(CEDAR RAPIDS, IA  050801)—The Thunderstocks, Legends, Women On Wheels, and 2 Driver Cruisers were all in action at Hawkeye Downs on Tuesday, May 8. The quarter-mile warriors raced in support of the National Kidney Foundation “Tour For A Cure” which featured the only appearance of the NKF Dirt Modifieds on a paved track. 

 

                 Due to the large number of entries the Barron Motor Supply Thunderstocks ran a pair of 25-lap features. Both features count toward the points championship and the Papa Johns Cup Championship.

 

                In the first Thunderstock Feature Steve Snyder, Cedar Rapids, snagged the checkers after quickly grabbing the lead from the second row. Snyder held off Frank Auen for the win in a race, which saw the front five cars tightly bunched with great battles for position throughout the field. Frank Auen finished second with Ron Jarrett crossing the stripe in third.

 

                The second Thunderstock Feature was equally exciting with Daryl Jones of Cedar Rapids crossing the line first. Like the winner of the first race, Jones started in the second row and quickly took the point from Chip Kohl. Second place went to Kohl with Dean Michel placing third.

 

                The Coca-Cola Women On Wheels ran a spirited 20-lap feature, which saw multiple lead changes and an incident on the white flag lap that scrambled the running order considerably.  When the checkers waved Deb Mefford of Cedar Rapids secured the win with Dana Scott finishing right on her bumper.  Sandra Sheldon was third.

 

                BJ Goodin of Hiawatha recovered from a spin early in the A-1 Performance Marine Legends feature and grabbed the trophy and the win in the 25-lap race. Goodin finished with a comfortable margin over Tom Frady, who led much of the early part of the race. Kyle Hinrichs finished in the third slot.

 

                The tandem of Steve Luedtke and Mike Carver were awarded the win in the 20-lap 2-Driver Cruiser after the on-track winner driven by Matt Jones and John Morgan didn’t pass tech. The “Jones boys”- Daryl and Scott finished in second with Derek and Lori Scott finishing in third.
