It was quite a night of racing on Saturday, July 26th, at Ephrata Raceway.  Tom Smitham, driving the 32-car was in the lead for several laps of the 35-lap Main Event.  It was a fight for 1st place with the 30-car and the 22-car battling to get into the lead.  However, as the night continued it was Mike Clother in the 7-car who took home the Main Event Trophy, taking 1st place in Ephrata Raceway.  It really was an exciting night of racing.  Congratulations goes out to Mike Clother!

Tom Smitham, driving the 32-car and Kyten Jones, driving the 30-car were the winners of the Trophy Dashes.

Tom was out front for several laps of the Main Event. It looked like he was going for another trophy when he had car troubles and had to pull off the track. All in all, it was an exciting night of racing for the 32-team.
