A BLAST FROM THE PAST:

BY JIM SHIELS.

MITCHELL SCORES FIRST EVER WIN:

(Original story from Racing Wheels, written by Gary Jacob on July-6, 1973)

Stockton's Barry Mitchell scored his first ever Late Model feature win as he completely dominated hispart of the regular Friday night modified stock competition at Stockton 99 Speedway. Mitchell opened the evening by winning the first heat, came back to win the final heat and then led every lap of the feature.

As the top runners were smashing their way through the pack at the opening of the 20-lap feature, Mitchell was building a strong lead that was wiped out by a red flag on lap-2 for a five car tangle on the back straight. On the green, Mitchell again vaulted in front and held a half-lap lead when the yellow came out on lap-5 as rookie Bob Craven spun. Top runner Dan Reed moved into fourth on the Craven spin, but Mitchell again left the field at the green with Reed battling it out with Tim Gillit, Gary White, and Harry Belletto.

The rest of the race was caution-free with Mitchell breezing in front. Ted Fritz made a late charge, passing Belletto and Gillit to take over second, but there was catching Mitchell. Mitchell took the checkered an easy winner with Fritz a strong second and Reed finally pulling out of the pack for third. Gillit and Belletto rounded out the top five.

Fritz again paced the field through time trials with a mark of 16.121. Other heat winners were White, and Reed, with Reed coming back to win the dash. Jerry Bishop outran Curtis Nelson to capture semi honors.The hobby feature again went to Roger Bentz, with Bill Simpson winning the dash.

Was wondering when the 2001 schedule was going to be put out? So, when can go out and get some sponsors for next year. Also, I heard that the pure stock are not going to pitting in the infield for 2001 is this correct? If So, Where will be the new location for the pure stocks?
Oh ya, a couple of teams that I talked to thought it would be a neat idea if we had three 50 lap main events for 2001 like you do with the late models. One at the beginning, the second one in the middle and the third at the end of season and make them double points night. Big car turn more $$$$$ in the pocket book and I know you like that...
Or even a 75 or 100 lap show and I bet the attendance would go up because people would love to see if the pure stocks could go that long. We don't take up alot of cautions... That could possible bring more fans since the pure stock is becoming more popular than any other series that come out there except the late models!
