OVRP Dirt Oval Report

By: John Schoebel

 

Cuddebackville, NY – Once again a chance of rain on race day and the OVRP Dirt Oval was able to get their show in. The last few weeks have all seen a chance of showers or storms, but the track has completed all of the events so far this year. Slight sprinkles delayed practice and reappeared throughout the late afternoon to dampen the track, but not enough to stop the racing.

 

The facility had a total of 104 entries (59 karts, 20 slingshots, and 25 motorcycles), which was very good for having the chance of rain and the other money races in the area such as the Big 1 out in Race 1 in Dubois, PA. Congratulations to Randy McCullough for winning Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy! Also the Northeast Slingshot and Kart tour which takes place upstate New York was having an event on Saturday.

 

Just a reminder, Becky was at the track taking pictures on track and in victory lane while Ralph is away at Indianapolis. Check out her website www.bkphotos.net to see the weekly photos. Ralph will be back in two weeks for the next race.

 

Also remember next weekend May 30th, the Dirt Oval is CLOSED. The next race will be on June 6th.
