Memorial Day at Golden Sands
It was a great day for racing at Golden Sands Speedway in
Wisconsin Rapids WI.
As usuall Darrel Bassuner (track owner) was a great host and put on a good show. The vintage cars were part of the show which included a 100 lap Late Model Feature.
We had plenty of practice time, time trials, a heat race and a feature.
Jim Heiland in his #4 Bob Jusola Nova won the heat race and
Cliff Scheinoha's #74 coupe won the feature, followed by #81 Mike Stein,
#4 Jim Heiland, #91 Darrel Bassuner, #30 Gary Stein and #89 Darrel Pausch
John Brown (John Boy) visited from the TV show Madhouse, and took a shot at breaking the track record, to no avail, but posted the only 11 second laps of the day. He entertained the crowd with a good-hearted start in the vintage race, amazingly lapping the field during the 10 lap event.
Nick Beaver #10 slid off the track during qualifing and got his hand tangled in the steering wheel, hope it will be OK.
The vintage cars are due back July 2 & 3 for a Vintage Race Car Weekend.
All classes welcome

Gary Mitidero Sweeps at Wisconsin Dells
It was a great night for racing at the Dells Raceway. We had a good turn out of 9 vintage cars, representing 3 different states Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. 16 year old Nick Beaver from Rosemont MN had his Camero back on the track after last years nasty crash at LaCrosse. Chris Loberg had the 00 Weiland Modified out for an exhibition of fast cars. Darrel Bassuner with his rocket powered 57 Chev always looks good. Kenny Hutchins, with his #13 car looks good too. It was good to see Vaughn Gerke's 57 Chev back on the track. Vaughns son drove the car and his wife Pinky was there too. They had to retire the car early due to an oil leak. Jamie ??? from Ill. had is Dodge there. Bob Heine was on hand from New Prague MN. Jim Heiland, Arlington, MN had his reconstructed #4 Bob Jusola Nova out for the first itme on a short track.
Gary M won the heat race. The feature was a battle in the works with Nick, Gary and Bob Heine. Nick was leading the race with just a few laps to go his engine let loose. After a few caution laps to clean the track, Gary Mitidiero, from Homer Glen IL in his nitro fueled AA # 2 Camero went on to win the feature.
After the races we has beers on Garys trailer and life is good!
