Myerstown PA, August 28th, 2010:
The International SpeedSTR series made it
début at Lincoln Speedway this past Saturday evening for
their final National event (in the US) of the 2010 racing
season.
The Rahmer boys, Freddie Jr. and Brandon
were amped up for the opportunity to compete at Lincoln
Speedway. Freddie Rahmer Jr. wowed the capacity crowd in the
first event of the evening by capturing his second heat race
victory in a row, in dominating fashion over Gary Hieber Jr.
(Langhorne, PA). Brandon then rolled out to a cheering crowd
for heat race number two, as he went on to secure his best
heat race finish of the season with a strong third.
As the STR's took the green in the
feature event, Tyler Potts (Milford, NJ) who has been stout
the last few races showed his fellow competitors tonight
would be no exception by taking the lead before the end of
the first circuit from starting fourth on the grid. When the
scoreboard clicked off lap 3, Potts began to feel heated
pressure from the national point leader of Mario Page
(Hillsborough, NJ). Page had raced his way quickly to the
front from starting fifth followed closely by Brandon Rahmer
(Salfordville, PA).

Potts and Page put on crowd pleasing show, swapping the
lead several times for the next five circuits with Page
finally securing the top spot on lap 9. Meanwhile B.
Rahmer was dueling it out with G. Hieber Jr. and Ronnie
Tobias Jr. (Exeter, PA) for the third position. R.
Tobias Jr. would take over third on lap eight while last
week's feature winner Kyle Hieber was cruising through
the field passing STR's high and low after going to the
rear from a lap one tangle.
A restart on lap 15 would feature an exciting battle
for second between Potts and R. Tobias Jr. Ronnie Jr.
would nose ahead a few time during the thrilling
exchange, but Potts would sail the outside to secure the
second position as Page went on to attain another
$800.00 payday. R. Tobias Jr. would come home third
followed by a hard charging K. Hieber. G. Hieber Jr.
would round out the top five in the Scrappy's 56.

Series creator Richie Tobias Jr. stated at the
conclusion of the evening "I was pleased to see the fans
and the track officials were so gracious to all of us
throughout the entire evening. It seems that the sprint
car people took a strong liking to our program and this
facility is such a great venue for us to showcase our
product."

old (Munroe) along with the 15 year old female hot shoe of

the top five. Koster took home the win with Clement close behind in
second and Schliesman in third.
In the Pee-Wee division
Jim Chisholm took the early lead with Garrett Koster in second.
Jackson Hale sat in third. Koster pressured Chisholm early but
Chisholm was holding strong up front. A spin in turn four brought
out a caution just before Chisholm got loose coming out of two.
Chisholm got tagged by Koster sending the Chisholm machine tumbling
over twice before coming to rest. The Chisholm machine and Jim
himself were quickly looked at rejoined the field to take the
green. Chisholm jumped out front again with Koster all over his
bumper. Despite his best efforts Koster could not overtake Chisholm
as the checkers flew. Chisholm took the win over Koster and Hale.
Derek Clement jumped out
front in the Senior division with Jeremy Paulson in second. Dustin
Sorensen was sitting in third with Matthew Schliesman in fourth and
Jackson Koster in fifth. Paulson was pushing Clement hard with four

get alongside of him a few times down the straights. Clement held
on for the win over Paulson and Sorensen.

Pee Wee Slingshot Feature Results STAN FRIEDMAN MAKES SATURDAY NIGHT ALRIGHT WITH AN ALL-STAR WIN, & AMBER ORASCHIN ADDS TO HER IMPRESSIVE JR. SLINGSHOT WIN COUNT IN 2010..
Myerstown PA, August 28th, 2010: In All-Star Slingshots Stan Friedman found himself in an “Azzalina Sandwich” with Brandon in the lead and Zach in third. All good sandwiches need a bit of mustard and Friedman found enough mustard to get by Brandon to take the lead. As the Azzalina brothers put the pressure on Friedman, Jim Bassett was charging like a “Raging Bull.” Bassett made the pass on the Azzalina's but did not have enough to snatch the win from Friedman. Friedman made it win number 5 followed by Bassett, Brandon Azzalina, Zach Azzalina, and Bob Camps.
Amber Oraschin made it win number 4 in Saturday Jr. Slingshots. The “Pint Sized Powerhouse” took the lead from pole sitter Bobby Kibler Jr. and never looked back. Kibler and point leader Joseph Infante kept the pressure on but it would go down to the checkered flag as Oraschin, Kibler, and Infante. Tonight’s race tightens up the hotly contested point battle which is the closest in all three Saturday night divisions. Infante has held the point lead all season but at this point it will go right down to the wire to determine the 2010 championship.

JOHN BOCKHORN & CHARLIE SHAVER SPLIT ALL-STAR FEATURE WINS AT HAMLIN, WHILE DANNY BUCCAFUSCA NABS A JUNIOR SLINGSHOT VICTORY & JERRY HUGHES TAKES THE SUPER SLINGSHOT WIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
Myerstown PA, August 28th, 2010: In the first Slingshot main event, Bloomingdale, New Jersey hot shoe, John Bockhorn clicked off the fastest time during the round-robin time trial period with a 14.202 lap mark to earn the pole for the main event. Bockhorn took the lead at the drop of the green flag and drove his Creative Auto Interiors Slinger to a wire to wire triumph over a persistent Charlie Shaver. For Bockhorn, in his first season of competition at the speedway, it was his second win of the 2010 racing season. Shaver was the runner-up with local favorite Dana Smith finishing third in her Ed Smith Excavating sponsored racer. New Yorker Vinny Zazzero drove to a fourth place finish in his Grand Rental Station sponsored machine and defending track champion drove from tenth starting position to claim fifth place. The returning Mike McLaughlin was sixth with Shannon Smith, Mike Fogler, Simon Egan and Nathan "The Wild, Wild" West completing the top ten running order . "Slick" Rick Raisner had the hot hand at the start of the Junior Slingshot feature and held the lead through the first four laps until being turned around by Eddie Strada. When racing resumed, third place man at the time of the incident, Danny Buccafusca, acquired the lead and the "Rockaway Rocket" led the remaining laps to claim his tenth win of the season at Hamlin. "The Little Tornado" Zack Weisenfluh, last week's feature winner, was the runner-up in his US Air Force sponsored Slinger. Jacob Dunn drove from 8th place to finish third with AJ Tonkin and Rosalyn Trautschold completing the top five.
Jerry Hughes seized control of the point at the drop of the green flag and drove his Castle Distributing/Clark Garage sponsored hot rod to a convincing win the Super Slingers feature attraction despite a late rally from runner-up Aaron Henneforth. Henry Anderson was third in his Mike Griffin State Farm Insurance entry with Tom Arntz enjoying a great ride in his Tittle's Used Parts/West Side Bagel sponsored entry to claim fourth place. Bob Clark completed the top five.
Charlie Shaver started the second main for the Slingshots from the pole position. Shaver has been a part time competitor at the speedway in 2010 but took off at the drop of the green with Bockhorn taking up the chase. Tight competition at its best described the heated action as mid-pack competition was a gunfight between the best Slingshot racers in the country today. Daring moves and a bit of bumper tag thrilled the crowd on hand as the side by side and three and four wide action is the bench mark of the great competition at Hamlin. Shaver clicked off consistent laps of 14.264 seconds to keep his speed buggy out front and he drove to his first career triumph at the speedway. John Bockhorn was the runner-up with Bill Clark racing to a third place finish. The "Branchville Bullet" Kyle Rutledge drove from 12th to claim fourth and Simon Egan claimed fifth from his ninth place start.
