MOTTVILLE,MI., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3.2011-Al Maurer, Caleb Woods, Mike Mast and Todd Roberts took Season Champion features on a beautiful Saturday evening at the Mottville Speedway!
28 cars were on hand which for November 5 is fantastic!
One spectator remarked that his two hour drive was well worth it!
On the final hot lap of 2011 Al Maurer put his street stock deep into the woods off turn 3! The car went over the tires and finally was stopped by a tree!
But Maurer's crew went to work and had the car ready for the heat which Maurer won.
Maurer then came back and won his 3rd feature of the season with a 15 lap victory of Chris Gour.
In an amazing day of scratches-Dave Logan, Brad Blackburn, Sr. and Steve Woods all had mechanical woes!
John Courson and Caleb Woods worked on Caleb's Pure Stock until 3 am and he then brought it to Mottville for the first time this season and won the 20 lap feature over David Terry, Steve Woods, Al Mauer and Dave Logan.
Logan was challenging for the lead when he lost his drive shaft!
Logan won the heat.
After 21 laps of the 25 lap Mini Stock feature Eric Frazier had the lead over Mike Mast and Josh Dunnuck but Frazier spun in turn 4 trying to lap a car and took the tail on the restart.
Frzier came back strong and in a near photo finish it was Mast, Fracier and Dunnuck in the top 3!
Kevin Grubb was 4th followed by Larry Fullbright II, Ryan Schrock, Bobby Laughter, and Justin Graber.
Graber blew his engine in the middle of turns 1 and 2 amid a cloud of smoke but somehow the leaders all managed to get by him safety!
