Three Generations and a Full Moon at the Dirt Track – I-70 Speedway Odessa, MO (July 28, 2007) – Another great Saturday night of racing on the dirt track at I-70 Speedway was seen by hundreds who made the short walk to the dirt track after action concluded on the Asphalt. With a full moon shining over racing, three generations competed in the featured, Dwarf Car Racing Association, class on the dirt. Dwarf Cars and Mod Lite drivers filled the field including a family with three generations and on this night a battle of two brothers.
Through a couple of great heat races, DCRA drivers qualified for their starting positions in the 15 lap feature event. In early feature action, brothers David Raffurty in his #64 and Jeff Raffurty in the #98 contested each other constantly for the lead. Unfortunately, brotherly love was thrown by the wayside, contact between brothers on a couple of occasions and a run in with Father, Rick Raffurty in his #75 car, sent both brothers to the rear of the field, costing either of the Raffurty boys a chance at the feature win. At the conclusion of the feature event, blood was thicker than water, as the brothers were brought back together as a family and joked with each other, about the incidents.
Leading the field across the finish line was Greg Nellis in his #4 Mod Lite. Following Nellis was the #641 Michael Raffurty, son of David Raffurty. #23z Zeke Langley was third followed by the 24 of Kelly Bergstran, #99 Bradley Taylor, #60 Tony Kerr, the 63 of Kevin Arnett, #64 David Raffurty, the 35 of Mike Sedgewick, #98 Jeff Raffurty, #2 John Sharp, #13 Bill Zabel, #75 Rick Raffurty, Father of David and Jeff, and the #46 Daryl Kabriel.
DCRA action will return to the Dirt Track at I-70 Speedway on Saturday night August 25th, as part of Carmageddon.
