Henderson and Walsh double up on fair nights
By Matthew J. Sullivan
The annual fair night races at Redwood Acres Raceway were held this past Friday and Saturday night and as per usual, thousands of fans flocked to the track with anticipation and excitement. The special two night event brought out several drivers who had not made it out to the Acres in the 2007 season. Friday night’s features were won by Kenny Demello in limited street stock class, Craig Baker in the mini stocks, Steve Kimberling in the real stocks, Marty Walsh in the sportsman division and David Henderson in the thunder roadsters. Saturday night’s main events were won by Orion Mosher, Brian Murrell, Troy Wood, Walsh and Henderson.
Kenny Demello got Friday night started off with a win in the limited street trophy dash over Orion Mosher, Duane Mayo and Scott Lyons. Mosher took the dash victory ahead of Demello, Mayo, Lyons and Robert Miller. After having dominating the main events for the 2007 season, Orion Mosher had engine problems which sidelined him and opened the door for Demello to take his first win of the season ahead of Mayo, Stan Young, Lyons and Miller.
The mini stock trophy dash was won by Brian Murrell followed closely by Max Capps, Glenn Bernald and Jason Shaha. Craig Baker took the heat win in the car normally driven by his brother Scott. Chad Grammer took second in his return to the class followed by Brian McIntosh, Bernald and Max Capps. Baker took the momentum from his heat race victory and used it to his advantage in the main event claiming the win over Capps, Byron McIntosh, Bernald and Grammar.
Running in just his second race of the season, Ryan Walters took trophy dash honors in the real stock class over Ryan Peeples, Bill Middleton and Chuck Essex. Troy Wood won the first heat over Essex, Walters, Steve Kimberling and Mike Cataldi while Peeples won the second over Doug Way, Jim Bailey, Middleton and Jim Redd. The night would belong to Kimberling however as he was able to cross the finish line first in the main event over Marvin Savage, Wood, Nick Green and Peeples.
Al Acuna returned to the Acres to win the sportsman trophy dash ahead of defending champion Marty Walsh who was also making his first start of the season. Rick Fox and Lissa Uselton rounded out the finish. Joe Bonomini won the first heat ahead of Jerry Peterson, Fox, Uselton and Barry Barnwell who was making his first ever start in a sportsman car. Walsh took the win in the second heat followed by Angelo Marcelli, Al Acuna, Larry Pries and Frank Billy, another driver making his 2007 debut. Marty Walsh looked as if he had been behind the wheel of a sportsman car all season as he was able to score the win in the main over Marcelli, Brandon Barnwell, Fox and Bonomini.
The thunder roadster dash was won by David Henderson over Paul Peeples, Jr., Leroy Marsh, Jr., and Chris Banfill. Bill Bradbury won the first dash over Mike Ward, Thomas Payne, Gehry Foster and Bruce Ziemer. Troy Combs returned to the Acres for the first time in 2007 and won the second head followed by Marsh, Mark Arroyo, Peeples and Ray Elliott. The main event was highlighted by several wrecks, including one which knocked out Peeples who had won all the roadster main events this season. That would open the door for a first time winner in 2007 and it would be Henderson winning followed by Arroyo, Elliott, Marsh and Ron Borges.
Racing in the limited street stock division Saturday night was kicked off with a win in the dash by Scott Lyons over Orion Mosher, Kenny Demello and Duane Mayo. Demello took the heat win ahead of Mayo, Lyons, Stan Young and Robert Miller. After motor issues Friday night and in the heat race, Mosher returned to his familiar form claiming he main event victory followed by Lyons, Demello, Mayo and Miller.
Jason Shaha took the mini stock trophy dash win followed by Brian Murrell, Max Capps and Glenn Bernald. Shaha followed that up with the heat race win over Murrell, Craig Baker, Max Capps and Byron McIntosh. Murrell made it look easy in the main event, taking the victory with Byron McIntosh, Shaha, Baker and Capps rounding out the top five.
The real stock dash was won by Chuck Essex over Ryan Peeples, Bill Middleton and Ryan Walters. Steve Kimberling won the first head over Troy Wood, Walters, Essex and Mark Mullan. Nick Green won the second ahead of Middleton, Marvin Savage, Peeples and Ray DeMello. The main event victory was awarded to Wood after Doug Way’s car failed post-race inspection. Essex took second with Kimberling third, Savage fourth and Mullan fifth.
Rick Fox won the sportsman dash ahead of Marty Walsh, Al Acuna and Lissa Uselton. Fox won the first dash over Uselton, Jerry Peterson, Joe Bonomini and Mike Bourbon. Larry Pries won the second over Marty Walsh, Angelo Marcelli, Aaron Byers and Brandon Barnwell. Early on in the heat race, it appeared as if the night would belong to Uselton as she pulled out to a substantial lead in the main event. However with only a few laps remaining, Walsh made his way by into the lead and into victory lane. Uselton finished second over Fox, Frank Billy and Marcelli.
Paul Peeples, Jr. returned to his winning ways in the thunder roadster trophy dash, winning over Chris Banfill, LeRoy Marsh, Jr. and David Henderson. Chris Sarvinski won the first heat ahead of Gehry Foster, Mike Ward, Bill Bradbury and Chris Lawrence. Henderson took the second over Peeples, Banfill, Troy Combs and Jay Bahner. After winning the race Friday night with Peeples sidelined, Henderson wanted to prove that his victory wasn’t a fluke. Prove it he did as he was able to hold off Peeples in a straight up fight to win. Combs finished third with Banfill fourth and Ray Elliott fifth.
With the season halfway over, the points races are close in all but one of the divisions, that being the limited street stock class. Orion Mosher holds a 49 point lead over tied second place drivers Scott Lyons and Duane Mayo. Brian Murrell holds a seven point edge over Byron McIntosh in the mini stocks. Steve Kimberling has a nine point lead over Troy Wood in the real stock class. In the sportsman division, Brandon Barnwell holds a nine point lead over Rick Fox while despite his dominance in the thunder roadsters, Paul Peeples, Jr. has a lead of just 17 points over David Henderson. Things will only get to be more interesting when the second half of racing at the Acres in 2007 starts July 7th.

Rain cancels racing at the Acres
Rain cancels racing at the Acres
By Matthew J. Sullivan
For the second time in the 2007 season, rain prevailed over racing at Redwood Acres Raceway cancelling the events this past Saturday night. Fans were able to watch trophy dash races in the real stock, mini stock and limited street stock divisions before a heavy fog quickly rolled over the track just as the thunder roadsters took to the track. This was the first time in recent memory that the races were canceled during the actual running of the events.
Steve Kimberling set the quick time for the real stocks with a 19.532 lap time. Orion Mosher was fastest in the limited street stock class with a 17.571. Jason Shaha set the fast lap in mini stock qualifying at 18.900. David Henderson took his first fast time in qualifying with a 17.111, while Brandon Barnwell was the fastest sportsman driver timing in at 16.485. Marvin Savage won the real stock trophy dash ahead of Kimberling, Ryan Peeples and Barry Barnwell. Mosher won the limited street dash narrowly edging Kenny Demello, Stan Young and Scott Lyons. Brian Murrell won the mini stock dash over Shaha, Byron McIntosh and Max Capps. Of course because of the cancellation of the rest of the night’s events, these races were not scored as being official therefore making the results more or less meaningless.
Racing resumes at the Acres June 22nd and 23rd at the Acres for the Redwood Acres Fair Classic. All five local classes will run both nights with the North State Challenge Series late models joining the action on Saturday night for their 100 lap feature.

Barnwell finally beaten, Peeples still unbeaten
Barnwell finally beaten, Peeples still unbeaten
By Matthew J. Sullivan
It was another typical night of action packed racing at Redwood Acres Raceway this past Saturday night as all five local classes returned to put on the fourth race of the 2007 season. All but one of the five divisions had a repeat winner from this season’s first three races. Paul Peeples, Jr., Bill Middleton, Byron McIntosh and Orion Mosher each returned to claim main event victories in the thunder roadster, real stock, mini stock and limited street stock divisions while North State Challenge Series driver Luke Hall won in the sportsman division.
Fast time for the limited street stocks was set by Orion Mosher with a 17.513. Mosher took the dash win over Robert Miller, Scott Lyons and Todd Freeman. Mosher continued his winning ways in the heat race winning over Duane Mayo, Kenny Demello, Stan Young and Freeman. Unfortunately during the heat race, contact between Demello and Miller on the back stretch sent Miller into the wall and taking him out for the rest of the night. Mosher made quick work of his competition in the main event, taking the lead on lap five and scoring his third straight victory for the season.
Jason Shaha set the fastest lap for the mini stock division with a 19.004 lap. Shaha won the dash followed by Brian Murrell, Byron McIntosh and Max Capps. McIntosh won the heat over Shaha, Murrell, Brian McIntosh and Capps. The main event was almost over as quickly as it started. By lap three, Byron McIntosh took the lead away from Glenn Bernald and built up a substantial lead. By the time Shaha and Murrell moved into second and third, there wasn’t enough time for either driver to close the gap on McIntosh. The win was McIntosh’s third of the season.
The quickest qualifier for the real stock division was Steve Kimberling who set a lap of 19.488. Barry Barnwell won the trophy dash over Kimberling, Ryan Peeples and Troy Wood. Chuck Essex won the first heat race over Wood, Marvin Savage, Peeples and Ray Robinson. Jim Redd took the win in the second heat followed by Bill Middleton, Kimberling, Barnwell and Mark Mullan. Savage took the lead early in the main event and held it comfortably for the entire race. The best battles on the track proved to be between Middleton and Barnwell along with Kimberling and Chuck Essex who raced side by side for many laps. Savage crossed the line first, but in post race inspection, his car was deemed illegal giving the win to Middleton who had finished second.
Paul Peeples, Jr. set what was a relatively slow fast time for the thunder roadsters with a 17.249 lap. Peeples won the dash over Mark Arroyo, Chris Banfill and Jay Bahner. The win in the first heat race went to Rob Nelson over Donn Cole, Gerhy Foster, Fred Hanks and Chris Lawrence. Peeples took the second heat in a close finish over Mike Ward, Leroy Marsh, Jr., David Henderson and Banfill. The main event proved to be an exciting one as it featured an exciting battle for the lead between Marsh, Peeples and Henderson. Peeples was able to gain the upper hand, but had to hold off Henderson who followed closely but could never mount a challenge. At the line it was Peeples winning his fourth straight race.
Rick Fox set the fast lap for the sportsman cars with a 16.493 lap. Larry Pries won the trophy dash followed by Luke Hall, Rick Fox and Jerry Peterson who was making his first start of the season. The heat race saw a bit too much excitement when Ken Hallis spun collecting Hall, Peterson, Donnie Brown and Joe Bonomini, the worst damage going to the cars of Hallis and Bonomini. Luke Hall won the heat over Angelo Marcelli, Pries, Fox and Aaron Byers. Hall used his experience to dice his way to the lead by lap three and pull away to a sizeable gap. Brandon Barnwell, winner of the previous three main events put on a show moving from the back of the field to the front by the time there were ten laps left in the race. As time ran down, Barnwell edged closer and closer to Hall’s car. Barnwell was able to get within car lengths with two laps remaining but got loose off the second turn, ending his chances at the win. Hall was able to break Barnwell’s stranglehold on the division to take the victory.
As quickly as the show ran this past Saturday night, starting at 6:30 and ending just after 9, the drivers and crew members have a quick week to fix any damage and get back out for this weekend’s race. Along with the five local divisions will be a special Powder Puff race, so it will only add more excitement to should already be a great show.

Brandon Barnwell, winner of the previous three main events put on a show moving from the back of the field to the front by the time there were ten laps left in the race. As time ran down, Barnwell edged closer and closer to Hall’s car. Barnwell was able to get within car lengths with two laps remaining but got loose off the second turn, ending his chances at the win. Hall was able to break Barnwell’s stranglehold on the division to take the victory.
As quickly as the show ran this past Saturday night, starting at 6:30 and ending just after 9, the drivers and crew members have a quick week to fix any damage and get back out for this weekend’s race. Along with the five local divisions will be a special Powder Puff race, so it will only add more excitement to should already be a great show.

Hall breaks Barnwell’s stranglehold, Peeples continues dominance
Hall breaks Barnwell’s stranglehold, Peeples continues dominance
By Matthew J. Sullivan
One winning streak ended while another continued this past Saturday night at Redwood Acres Raceway. With the race track under cloudy and cold conditions, fans were treated to another night of spectacular racing and close finishes. North State Challenge Series competitor Luke Hall broke Barry Barnwell’s winning streak in the sportsman division to win the 30-lap main event. Paul Peeples, Jr. notched his fourth consecutive win in the thunder roadsters continuing his season of dominance. Bill Middleton was declared the winner of the real stock main event after Marvin Savage failed post race tech inspection. Byron McIntosh and Orion Mosher each won their third main event of the season in the mini stock and limited street stock divisions respectively.
In what has become the norm for the limited street stock class, Orion Mosher set fast time clocking in at 17.513. Mosher took the dash win over Robert Miller, Scott Lyons and Todd Freeman. Mosher continued his winning ways in the heat race winning over Duane Mayo, Kenny Demello, Stan Young and Freeman. Unfortunately during the heat race, contact between Demello and Miller on the back stretch sent Miller into the wall and taking him out for the rest of the night.
With Miller unable to make the main event, seven cars took the green flag in the 15 lap feature. Off the start, Young took the lead while Demello moved by Freeman into the second position. Meanwhile, Mosher quickly threaded his car though the field. On lap three, Mosher moved by Freeman for third. On lap four, Mosher passed Demello on the outside to take second while Mayo got by Freeman for fourth at the same time. On lap five, Mosher took the lead away from Young and began to pull away.
Demello got by Young for second on the eleventh lap bringing Mayo with him. With two laps to go, Freeman spun off the fourth turn bringing out the yellow. Under caution Romeo Venza took his car into the pits smoking heavily. The restart only delayed the inevitable victory for Mosher who crossed the line first, several car lengths ahead of Demello, Mayo, Young and Lyons. Mosher’s main event win sealed a perfect night for him in addition to setting quick time and the trophy dash and heat race victories.
Jason Shaha set the fastest lap for the mini stock division with a 19.004 lap. Shaha won the dash followed by Brian Murrell, Byron McIntosh and Max Capps. McIntosh won the heat over Shaha, Murrell, Brian McIntosh and Capps. The seven car field was brought to the green flag of the 15 lap main event by Nick Karanopoulos and Glenn Bernald. Bernald took the lead off the drop of the green flag. On lap two, Brian McIntosh spun off the fourth turn, but the yellow flag did not come out. On the third lap, Byron McIntosh took the lead position away from Bernald.
With Bernald fighting with Murrell and Shaha for second, McIntosh pulled out to what would be an insurmountable lead. On lap five, Murrell moved inside Bernald for second allowing Shaha to follow though into third. After several laps of racing, Shaha moved inside and by Murrell on lap seven going into the third turn. By this time, McIntosh had almost a full straightaway lead on Shaha. On lap nine, Capps moved past Bernald for fourth. With the field stretched out and no pressure from behind, McIntosh was able to cruise and take the victory followed by Shaha, Murrell, Capps and Bernald.
The quickest qualifier for the real stock division was Steve Kimberling who set a lap of 19.488. Barry Barnwell won the trophy dash over Kimberling, Ryan Peeples and Troy Wood. Chuck Essex won the first heat race over Wood, Marvin Savage, Peeples and Ray Robinson. Jim Redd took the win in the second heat followed by Bill Middleton, Kimberling, Barnwell and Mark Mullan. 11 real stock cars took the green flag in the 25 lap feature event. Robinson and Mullan lead the field to the green. Immediately after taking the green, Peeples pulled his car into the pits. Robinson took the early lead while everyone jockeyed for position.
On lap three, Savage moved by Essex for third. Later that same lap, Savage moved by Mullan into second. On lap four, Middleton moved into third. Barnwell moved by Mullan into fourth on lap six. On lap seven the caution flag flew for Kimberling who had spun in the second turn. On the restart, Middleton and Barnwell fought for the third spot, while Savage moved outside of Robinson to take the lead. Middleton followed through into second immediately after, but Barnwell had to wait until the next lap to take third from Robinson. Redd moved into fourth passing Robinson on lap 10. On lap 11, Barnwell moved to the outside of Middleton but got too high and lost several spots. On lap 13, Mullan and Nick Mitchell spun in the fourth turn resulting in the yellow flag.
Under the yellow flag, Redd pulled his car behind the wall with heavy smoke trailing. The green flag flew again and the field went racing once more. Essex moved inside of Robinson for fourth while Barnwell made his way back to third and challenged Middleton for second. Their duel allowed Savage to stretch his lead out. On lap 17, Kimberling moved outside of Essex for fourth. Their battle lasted all the way up until lap 23 when Kimberling finally cleared Essex. Meanwhile, Savage maintained a comfortable lead over Middleton and crossed the line first, while Barnwell, Kimberling and Essex completed the top five. However, Savage failed post race tech inspection and Middleton was awarded the win. The change in position moved everyone else behind him up one spot, moving Troy Wood into fifth.
Paul Peeples, Jr. set what was a relatively slow fast time for the thunder roadsters with a 17.249 lap. Peeples won the dash over Mark Arroyo, Chris Banfill and Jay Bahner. The win in the first heat race went to Rob Nelson over Donn Cole, Gerhy Foster, Fred Hanks and Chris Lawrence. Peeples took the second heat in a close finish over Mike Ward, Leroy Marsh, Jr., David Henderson and Banfill. Ward and Thomas Payne lead the 16 car field to the 30 lap main event. After the initial start was waved off, the green flew and Ward took the early lead over Marsh. On lap five, Henderson moved inside of Payne for third. On lap seven, Peeples moved inside of Chris Sarvinski for the fifth position. That same lap, Peeples moved past Payne to take fourth.
On the ninth lap after several laps of battling, Marsh moved inside of Ward to take the lead bringing Henderson and Peeples with him. Coming off the fourth turn, Payne hit the wall and pulled his car into the pits. On lap 12, Peeples moved to Henderson’s outside but fell back. Two laps later, Peeples tried the same maneuver and made it work taking second on lap 15. On lap 17, Peeples moved to the outside of Marsh for the lead. Henderson briefly moved inside of Marsh to make it three wide, but used better judgement and fell back.
Marsh and Peeples raced side-by-side until lap 20 when Peeples was able to compete the pass for the top spot. A few laps later, Henderson moved inside of Marsh for second. Unlike the previous three races this season, Peeples did not pull away from Henderson. Henderson stayed locked on Peeples’ bumper, but could never mount a charge for the lead. The best action as the race concluded was the battle for fifth between Sarvinski, Arroyo and Banfill. On lap 28, Arroyo spun off the fourth turn but did not bring out the yellow. In the end, Peeples had enough to hold off Henderson to take the win. Marsh finished third over Ward and Sarvinski. Like Orion Mosher, Peeples’ win made for a perfect evening as he also took quick time, the trophy dash and heat race win.
Rick Fox set the fast lap for the sportsman cars with a 16.493 lap. Larry Pries won the trophy dash followed by Luke Hall, Rick Fox and Jerry Peterson who was making his first start of the season. The heat race saw a bit too much excitement when Ken Hallis spun collecting Hall, Peterson, Donnie Brown and Joe Bonomini, the worst damage going to the cars of Hallis and Bonomini. Brandon Barnwell won the heat over Angelo Marcelli, Pries, Fox and Aaron Byers.
The nine car, 30 lap feature was brought to the green flag by Brown and Byers. Byers got the jump off the drop of the green and took the lead. On lap two, Brown spun off the fourth turn bringing out the yellow flag. Hall took advantage of Byers on the restart and moved by to take the lead bringing Pries into second. On lap eight, Fox moved outside and by Lissa Uselton for the fourth spot. Marcelli moved inside and by Uselton for fifth on lap 10. Hall began to pull away from Pries until lap 13 when Uselton and Brown spun bringing out the yellow flag.
Two laps after the restart, Fox and Peterson made contact sending Peterson into a spin off turn four. Peterson got going again and the yellow flag was not thrown. On lap 18, Barnwell moved inside of Byers for third. Two laps later, Barnwell moved by Pries to take second. It was nearly a mirror image of the previous race, just with the roles reversed as Hall held a large lead over Barnwell with 10 laps remaining. Slowly but surely Barnwell closed the gap. With two laps to go and only four car lengths behind Hall, Barnwell got loose off the second turn severely diminishing his hopes to win a fourth straight race. Meanwhile, Marcelli was picking his way past cars. With two laps to go he got by Fox for fifth. On the white flag lap, Marcelli moved by Byers for fourth. Up at the front, Hall was able to take the win over Barnwell and Pries with Marcelli taking fourth over Byers in fifth.
The drivers and teams have a quick turnaround this week as the next event at the Acres is set for this Saturday, June 9th. Joining the five local classes will be the first of two Powderpuff Races scheduled for the 2007 season.
