Despite a quick shower at the start of the night, the track was dried and racing action began Saturday at Wiscasset Speedway as scheduled.

On the agenda was Wiscasset’s group one division, including Thunder 4’s, Super Stock, Pro Stock and New England 4-Cylinder Pro Stock. The flex race of the week was a 100-lap Enduro feature.

First on the track was a 15-lap Thunder 4 feature. Starting in the pole position was Chelsea’s Dan Trask, while behind him were Wiscasset’s Ryan Chadwick and Nate Tribbett of Richmond. Off the start, Chadwick dropped back, allowing Tribbett to take second and Adam Armstrong to take third. Lap nine saw the No. 15 driven by Cody Robbins move up from his sixth place start to pass Armstrong on the inside of turn three for third. Then, on lap 13, Robbins passed Tribbett on the inside of the back stretch for second. Racing order remained the same until the finish, as Trask took the checkers.

The Super Stock race was quick and straightforward. This 25-lap race began with Adam Chadbourne of Woolwich on the pole. James Osmond of Wiscasset and Bobby Mesimer of Woolwich were behind him. Chadbourne was fast off the starting line, leaving Osmond and Mesimer to race for second. Osmond was able to maintain his second place start. Chadbourne spent the remainder of the race looking out his rear view mirror, watching the rest of the field try to catch up. Chadbourne placed first, Osmond second and Mesimer third.

Prior to the 30-lap Pro Stock feature, Jeff Burgess of East Madison said, “Last week wasn’t good for me. Trying some new stuff this week. This car is different than my other car was, trying to get the feel for it. Going to win today, at least, that is the goal!”

Burgess must have made the right adjustments because he started the No. 1 in the pole position. Behind him were Casey Nash of Richmond in the No. 13 and Bill Penfold. Action began from the start when on the inside of turn two Penfold passed Nash for second. Burgess sped ahead of the pack and had a solid 10 car-length lead by race midpoint.

During lap 24, Penfold and Nash came together on the back stretch. Penfold spun on the track and headed for the pits for a tire change. Chris Thorne moved to second and Wiscasset’s Mike Orr to third. Penfold and Nash went to the back of the pack. Race order remained the same for the rest of the race.

A three caution New England 4-Cylinder Pro Stock race was the next feature. This 35-lap race was action packed. Jeff Prindall of Lisbon Falls started in the pole position, and behind him were Tim Jeski and Dave Patten. On the second lap, Craig Dunn passed Patten for third place. Prindal, Jeski and Dunn raced furiously though each lap, vying for position. The first lead change was on lap eight when Jeski passed Prindall on the inside of turn two for first place. On lap 10, Prindall went inside and passed Jeski on turn four. Jeski and Prindall raced around the track for the next two laps, with each pulling ahead of the other briefly. On lap 13 Jeski pulled ahead of Prindall, retaking the lead. the inside of turn four for second. Prindall looked for an opportunity to pass Dunn, and his chance came on lap 17 when the second caution of the race occurred. On the restart, Prindall passed Dunn on the inside of turn two for second. Not satisfied with second, Prindall eyed Jeski ahead, and on the inside of turn one of lap 19 he made the pass on the inside to take first. However,the third caution of the race was thrown and put Jeski back as race leader as the lap had not been completed. Jeski was back in first. Prindall in second and Dunn in third.

Upon the restart, Jeski, Prindall,and Dunn resumed the battle for position. Dunn pulled ahead of Prindall on the backstretch for second. On lap 22 Prindall retook second when he passed Dunn on the inside of turn two. Jeski took first place. Prindall placed second and Dunn was third.

Last on the agenda was the flex race for the week. The race was open to four, six and eight cylinder cars. Jeff Hebert took an early lead. He was able to maintain his lead throughout the entire event. Early race contenders were Geoff Low and Ron Whitcomb. Both Low and Whitcomb were unable to maintain their early leads. Phil Main was also an early contender. Behind him was Nicholas Hanson, who was able to pass Main after Main spun out on the back stretch.

Hebert took first, Hanson was second and Turner recovered to take third.
