2009 Season is Finally Underway

May 2-3 Results

Monday, May 4, 2009

Saturday

Oahe Speedway's 2009 season got off to a great start on Saturday.

A cool morning gave way to a sunny afternoon of competition in the Butler Machinery Shootouts.

The Butler Machinery Box Shootout was an all West River final with Midland's, Ken Standiford,  and Rick Meier, of Box Elder,. squaring off.  In the double breakout final, Meier chased down Standiford for the win.   Meier got around Gary Buer, Lake Preston in the semis and Standiford singled in to the finals, in the uneven bracket.  Number one qualifier, Lance Trujillo, Gillette, WY, suffered a fuel leak in his '67 Camaro in his quarter final match with Standiford. 

In the 23 car Butler Machinery No Box Shootout final,  Dick Rozum,  of Mitchell, drove his '67 Mustang to victory Wade Johnson, of Rapid City.  Johnson chased Division 6 points last year, and had not competed at Oahe since 2007. Rozum utilized a great .012 reaction time to take the win over  Johnson's '83 Suzuki GS 1150.  Number one qualifier, Randy Hirsch, of Pierre, redlit against Rozum in the semifinals.  in the balance of the semifinal round, Larry Iversen, of Pierre, broke out against Johnson.

Second year driver, Jeri Vines, of Eagle Butte, drover her '74 Nova to a win over rookie contender Brian Brady, of Pierre, in the Butler Machinery Trophy Shootout.   Brady ran a very limited schedule late in 2008, while Vines competed for most of the 2008 season.  Vines advanced to the finals on a single pass in the semis, while Brady chased down Jim Jakeway, of Timber Lake, to move on to the title match.  Ron Winterberg, Jakeway's grandson, and number one qualifier, was sent to the trailer by Vines, in the quarterfinals.

The Junior Dragster Shootout rounded out the Butler Machinery sponsored event, with Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, winning over 2009 rookie contender, Jake Miller, of Fort Pierre.  Miller will share seat time with twin brother, Alec, for the 2009 season.  Alec suffered a broken wrist in a soccer match earlier in the week, sidelining him for the early season.  Number one qualifier and past season champ, James Morris, of Pierre, tossed away his number one qualifying position, in leaving a bit too early against Fuchs, in their semifinal match.  Miller singled in to the finals.

The 2008 Gator's Pizza, Pasta, and Subs 100MPH Club Member's Challenge was finally contested on Saturday.  The twice delayed finale, from the 2008 season, was won by Doug Percy, of  Winner.  Percy, driving his '78 Malibu, was able to hold off Tyler Ehlers , of Pierre.  Ehlers, taking over dad Jason's '67 Cougar, defeated Mike Moldenhauer, of Jud ND, in the semifinals with Percy turning back Brian Brady, of Pierre, in the balance of

the round.  In this unique class, the qualifiers had to make at least one run during qualifying or eliminations over 100 MPH during the 2008 season.

Gator's has returned as the 100MPH Club sponsor for 2009, with the finals

scheduled for October 11, 2009.

Randy Nygaard, of Watertown, and Schaun Schnathorst, of Huron, met in the Dale's A-1/Midwest Construction Super Series final.  Nygaard took his '90 Cavalier Super Gas to the winner's circle by running only .005 seconds over his 10.00 second dial to defeat Schnathorst.  Schnathorst pushed his '00 Gebhardt  rear engine dragster a bit too hard, breaking out by .045 seconds, in pursuit of Nygaard.  Nygaard took on David Rae, of Gillette, WY, in the semis, taking the win, when Rae left .001 seconds too soon, at the starting line.  Schnathorst singled into the finals.

Sunday

The weatherman got the forecast right on Sunday, with temps in the mid 70's and light winds.  A large field of racer's was on hand for the kickoff of the 2009 Coca Cola Points Series.

The Super Pro finals found Joe Wolf, of Pierre, and newcomer Scott Mitchell, of Minatare, NE face off in the finals.  In the closest contest of the weekend, Mitchell ran .007 over his dial in, to beat Wolf's '02 Worthy rear engine dragster.  Ironically, Wolf ran only .008 over his dial in.  The difference was at the starting line, with Mitchell's wheel standing '68 Chevelle, gaining a .023 second reaction time advantage. With a .24 second margin of victory, the Nebraska driver reached the finish line 71.64 inches ahead of Wolf. 

In the season's first Pro final, TK Casper, of Lake Preston, powered his '68 Firebird to victory over Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte.  Vines trailered Pierre'  Larry Iversen, in their semifinal match.  Number one qualifier, Darcy Madsen, of Rapid City, could not hold off Casper in the semis.  

Wade Johnson, 2005 Oahe Speedway  Motorcycle champ, Rapid City, defeated the 2007-2008 series winner, Chris Boom,. of Pierre, in their final round match up.  Johnson's closer to dial in run made up for his slower reaction time against Boom, giving the Suzuki rider the win.  Boom reached the finals on a single run in the semi's.  Number one qualifier, Laura Moldenhauer, of Jud, ND, lost to Johns in their semifinal tilt. 

Derek Gray, of Pierre, and Tom Harms, of Valentine, NE, met in the finals of the Sportsman class, with Gray emerging as the winner.  Harms broke out, in the final, giving the "w" to Gray's '74 Nova.  Team Vines, with Jeri Ann at the wheel of her '74 Nova, fouled against Gray in the semis, with Harms singling into the championship run.  Dave Mantz, number one qualifier, of Bismarck, ND, tossed away his chance on a red light start against Vines in round two.

Dave Glanzer, of Huron, made his first visit to Oahe Speedway a memorable one, taking the Beck Motor Company Street Trophy final from Pierre's Randy Magilke.  Magilke gained the final's when Phillip Pease, of Pierre, fouled away his chance in the semis.  Justin Lamont ran a bit too quick in the other semifinal match against Glanzer. 

Alyssa Colson, of Blunt, showed High School class rookie contender, Stephanie Holm, of Pierre, that the competition will be tougher for the newcomer.  Holm, moving up to a "door car", has left the Junior Dragster

ranks to drive a '94 Mustang.  Colson used a quicker reaction time to defeat Holm, in the final.  In a match of sisters, Alyssa Colson took a victory over her little sister, Taryn, in the semis.  Taryn was a bit too quick at the starting line, drawing the red bulb, handing the victory to Alyssa.  Holm advanced to the finals when Shelby Magorien, of Pierre fouled at the starting line.  Snap On Tools and McGaugh Trailer Repair return as High School series sponsors for 2009.

BankWest Junior Dragster finals came down to Noah Miller, of Fort Pierre , and Ashley Holm, of Pierre. Miller took a better reaction advantage to the win over Holm in the final.  Second year driver Cody Ryckman, of Fort Pierre, was defeated by Miller in their semifinal match up, and Holm singled in to the finals.  Ryckman took out number one qualifier, Carly Ellingson, of Rapid City in the first round. 

Chad Uhrig and Curt Humann, both of Pierre, squared off in the Gamblers final.  Uhrig used a great .005 reaction time to defeat Humann.

The Junior Gamblers race, sponsored by Truck-n-Car Wash and Domino's Pizza, of Pierre, was won by Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre.  Geuther defeated a red lighting Jonathon Huse , of Onida, in the finals.

Legner Racing Team

Has a Good Weekend

Bobi and Doug Legner

at Fan Fest 2009 earlier this Spring

(Motor Race Images 2009)

 Monday, June 1, 2009

Doug and Bobi Legner, of Pierre, had a great weekend of racing at the NHRA O'Reilly Summernationals, in Topeka, KS.

 Bobi Legner, driving her '67 Super Street Chevelle, went out in the third round, running just a tick under the 10.90 index with a 10.895 pass.  Jeff Landholm, of Oakley, NE, suffered a similar fate against Legner, in round two, when he ran .002 under the index.   In an extremely tight field, mere thousandths of a second can mean the difference between winning and losing. 

The second half of  Legner Racing, Doug Legner, advanced to the fifth round of competition in Super Gas. Eventual winner, Tommy Phillips, of Forney, TX,  eliminated Legner in the fifth round.  Legner ran .027 seconds under the 9.90 index, in his '92 Camaro.  Doug was hot on the tree throughout eliminations, with .015 being his slowest reaction time through five rounds of competition. 

Vinnie Elsinger, and Millie, the team mascot, served as pit crew members. 

Team Legner returns to racing action at Oahe Speedway,

this coming weekend. 

Terry Henrikson's

Father Passes

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

The entire Speedway family mourns the loss of Terry's father. 

Wayne E. Henrikson, 79, passed away early Sunday morning, May 24, 2009, in Rapid City, after his short, but brave battle with melanoma cancer.

Wayne was born at Arlington, SD, March 18, 1930. He graduated from Sinai High School and married Maxine Olson on June 21, 1949 near Sinai. He farmed in eastern South Dakota until 1969 when he moved his family to Rapid City. He owned and operated I-90 Standard for a number of years. In the mid 1970’s he started his 30 plus years in the car business as a salesman, manager and owner.

Wayne’s hobbies and interests included fishing, hunting, golfing, and car racing. His interest in car racing started at a very young age and he was very involved with his two sons, Terry and Danny’s car racing. Proving you can’t take the farmer out of the boy, he enjoyed “hobby” farming in western SD in his later years.

Wayne and Maxine wintered in Arizona for 17 years sharing many good times with friends and family.

Family was very important to him and he was in his element at family gatherings telling stories and reminiscing of past times.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mark and Nora Henrikson; a daughter, Jeanne Swartos; and a sister, Lois Bolstad.

Wayne is survived by his wife, Maxine; a sister, Marjorie Tribuzi, Brookings, and a brother, Alden, Alaska. He is also survived by 5 children; David (Robin), Terry (Debbie), and Danny all of Rapid City, Karen (Jeff Goings), Fallon, NV and Joleen (Chris Anderson), Everett, WA. He is survived by 10 grandchildren; Tim Swartos (Barb), Traci Watkins (Darnell), TJ Swartos, Greg Henrikson, Scott (Bridget) Henrikson, Ariel Henrikson, Alex, Whitney, and Chad Goings, and Dylan Anderson. Wayne is also survived by 5 great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund in the name of Wayne Henrikson has been established to Hospice of the Hills.

Memorial services will be held Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at Kirk Funeral Home in Rapid City, SD

July 4th Weekend Results

from

 Oahe Speedway

Monday, July 6, 2009

Saturday, July 4th

July 4th racing action at Oahe Speedway got underway following a damp and cool morning.  Clouds gave way to a bright and sunny afternoon of racing ,  with a few familiar faces in the winners circle, and a couple first time winners this year.

Rick Meier, of Box Elder, marched through the Super Series race to meet up with Lance Trujillo, of Gillette, WY, in the finals.  Meier, pulling off a

superb .001 reaction time, out ran Trujillo to take top honors in the class.

The series runs the NHRA Super Classes, Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street, in a combined eliminator.  Meier takes a commanding lead in the five race series sponsored by Dale's A-1 Transmissions and Midwest Construction.  

In the Dakota Mill and Grain Box Shootout, Rodney Hopf, of Ramona, took the win at the starting line in his '65 Comet, when Ken Standiford, running a '66 Ranchero, out of Midland, left a little too soon.  Hopf took out number one qualifier, Tim Herman, of Presho,  in the semifinals. Herman earned the number one qualifying position with a perfect light. 

The Dakota Mill and Grain No Box eliminator came down to Marty Compson, of Pierre, and Stan "Butch" Monson, of Groton, with the '70 Duster of Compson gaining the bragging rights over Monson's "older' '69 Mustang.  Monson, over anticipating the tree, lit the red bulb, and lost on the starting line.  Monson sent number one qualifier, Tyler Ehlers, of Pierre, to the trailer in the 3rd round. 

Phillip Pease, of Pierre, qualified number one, with a perfect reaction time, in the Dakota Mill and Grain Trophy Shootout, and  took his '01 Firebird all the way to the finals. Shawn England, of Pierre, followed closely behind, having qualified in the number 2 position.  Pease had his luck run out in the final, when he red lit away his chances at a clean sweep, a perfect light and a number one qualifying spot, falling just .025 second short of a potentially perfect day.  England took the win on his '06 Hyabusa.

The final eliminator of the day, The Dakota Mill and Grain  Junior Dragster Shootout paired Carly Ellingson, of Rapid City, and current Coca  Cola Points Series leader, Ashley Holm, of Pierre, in another match decided at the line.  Holm tried to get the starting line advantage, but left .002 second too soon, handing the win over to Ellingson.  Ellingson qualified number one and Holm, number three.  Haley Hopf, of Ramona, qualified number two, was defeated by Ellingson in the semi finals.  Had Hopf made it to the finals and won, she would have joined Box Shootout champ dad, Rodney, in the winners circle.

Sunday July 5th

Sunday's "Chamber of Commerce" weather produced some of the best racing competition of the 2009 season.  The 2009 Coca Cola Points Series, reaching the mid-point, may have defined the balance of the season, with great battles in all categories.

The 3rd of 5 Dale's A-1/Midwest Construction Super Series Races was run on Sunday, with Bobi Legner, of Pierre, taking her '67 Chevelle Super Street entry to the winner's stripe.  Legner had to get around Saturday's winner, Rick Meier, of Box Elder, to take the win.  Meier, with his win and runner up finish for the weekend, tops the points standings, with two more rounds to go .   Legner met husband Doug, in his '92 Camaro, in the semifinals.

The immaculate pair of "Bow Ties" paired off, with Bobi taking the semi final win.  Number one qualifier, David Rae, of Gillette, WY, lost to Doug Legner, in the second round. 

Sean "Lucky" Billet, of Pierre, out dueled, Rick Meier, of Box Elder, in the Super Pro finals.  Billet, running a '99 Mullis rear engine dragster, chased down Meier's '84 Corvette, to take the win.  Meier tried just a bit too hard to outrun the dragster, breaking out by just .018 seconds at the finish line.

Meier, continuing a hot streak for the2009 season, topped the qualifying ladder and now leads the Points in the Coca Cola Super Pro class.  Billet

trails Meier, by just 303 points, in the standings. 

Joe Harry, of Ferney, SD, took his first Oahe Speedway win, in the Coca  Cola Pro final.  The "Professor of Pro",  Bill Wright, of Gettysburg, fell victim to Harry's great .014 reaction time in the match up.  Wright and Harry both came from deep in the field to reach the finals.  Wright qualified 22nd and Harry 26th, in the 30 car field.  Dar Hofer, of Onida, took out number one qualifier, Charlene Shepherd, of Pierre, in the second round, only to meet up with Harry in the quarter finals.  Stan "Butch" Monson, of Groton, took a commanding lead in the Coca Cola Pro Points Series, despite a semifinal loss to Wright. 

Ed Pope, of Pierre, on his '05 Arctic Cat, defeated number one qualifier, and Oahe Speedway rookie bike contender, Austin Uecker, in the second round.  Number two qualifier, Wade Johnson, of Rapid City, got around the 2008 Thunder Valley Dragway Pro Bike Champion, Kevin Hanson, of Viborg, in the first round, to begin his run to the finals.  Pope left first, on a slower dial in, and stayed ahead of Johnson, to take his first win of the season. Johnson, returning to the Speedway, on a regular basis, has moved in to the Coca Cola Motorcycle/Snowmobile Points Series lead. 2008 series champ, Chris Boom, of Pierre,  sits in second place, half way through the season.

Sportsman final winner, Cal Belden, of Aberdeen, defeated Tom Harms, of Valentine, NE, when Harms fouled away his chances at the starting line.  Belden's win did not prevent Harms from taking the Coca Cola Sportsman

Points Series lead from away from Derek Gray, of Pierre.  Gray lost to Tyler Ehlers, of Pierre, in the second round.  Harms defeated Kent Nauman, of Gettysburg, in round two.

Ron Winterberg, of Timber Lake, took his '79 Catalina to victory over Dolly Rush, of Bath, in the Beck Motor Company Street Trophy final.  Rush, driving her '69 GTX, and a first time visitor to Oahe, took out 2005 Street Trophy champion,  Alex Lindholm, of Pierre, in the first round.  She continued her winning in the second round, when she defeated the 2007 and 2008 Street Trophy champion, Brennan Gray, of Pierre.   Sara Brusseau, of Pierre, could not stop Rush in the semis, as the rookie driver moved on to the finals.  Winterberg was able to get by Rush in the final, and solidify his points lead in the class.

Stephanie Holm, of Pierre, number two qualifier,  in the Snap On / McGaugh Trailer Repair High School class and number one qualifier, Taryn Colson, of Blunt, met in the class final.  Holm used a better reaction time to power her '94 Mustang through the quarter-mile, for the win.  Tyler Ehlers, of Pierre, maintains the point lead over Holm, despite losing to her in the semifinals. 

Ashley Holm, of Pierre, won the BankWest Junior Dragster final, defeating Haley Hopf, of Ramona.  Holm, in her second final of the weekend, bettered her Saturday runner up finish in the Junior Dragster Shootout on Saturday.  Holm stopped number one qualifier, Jonathon Huse, of Onida, in the semis. 

The Truck 'n Car Wash / Dominos Junior Gamblers race was won by Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre.  Geuther defeated Alec Miller, of Fort Pierre.

Bryant Fuchs, of Bowman, ND and Chad Uhrig, of Pierre, faced off in the Gamblers final , with Uhrig taking the win when Fuchs broke out at the finish line.

Chad Uhrig, of Pierre, topped all contenders in the Lynn's Dakotamart

Box Shootout , on Saturday evening, at Oahe Speedway.  Uhrig, in his '96  Ford powered Spitzer dragster, took the automatic win, when Curt Humann, of Pierre, fouled away his chances , at the starting line.  In the heads up match, Uhrig pulled off great .008 reaction time, running very near his 8.40 dial in, at 8.402 seconds.  Number one  qualifier, Ken Standiford, of Midland, was beaten by Jeff Friman, of Pierre, in the third round. Uhrig dispatched Friman, in the semifinals, with another great  .012 reaction time.  Through three rounds of qualifying and five rounds of eliminations, Uhrig had a .015 reaction time average.

Number one and two Lynn's Dakotamart No Box qualifiers mowed through the field to meet on the finals.  Jim Erickson, of Ortonville, MN, made the long tow pay off, when he topped Larry Iversen, of Pierre.  Iversen broke out in the final, pushing his '67 Chevelle a bit too hard, in attempting to chase down Erickson's '88 Regal.  Erickson singled in to the finals and Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte,  fell victim to Iversen in the balance of the semis.

In the largest class of the day, the Lynn's Dakotmart Trophy Shootout, second time racer, at Oahe Speedway, Cal Belden, of Aberdeen, made it two consecutive wins, defeating Mary O'Connor, of Fort Pierre, in the  final.

Belden won two weeks ago, in his first visit to the Speedway.  Doug Percy, of Winner, number one qualifier, lost in the third round to Toni Vetter, of Gettysburg.  Vetter went to the trailer, in the semis, when she fouled away the start, against O'Connor.   Belden got around Randy Magilke, of Pierre, in their semi final match up. 

Tucker Driscoll, of Watertown, broke out, in the Lynn's Dakotmart Junior Dragster finals, handing the win to Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND.  Kali Driscoll, of Watertown, was the number one qualifier,  with a quick .009 reaction time.  Kali met up with her brother, Tucker, in the quarter finals. Tucker took the win,  when Kali broke out, at the finish line.  Fuchs, defeated number two qualifier, Austin Mohr, of Mitchell, in round one. 

In the 2009 Mayors Challenge, number one qualifier, Matt Semmler,  representing Highmore mayor, Vicki Day,  ran his '09 Taurus,  pole to pole, to take the win.   Joe Woitte, mayor of Midland, lost to Semmler, in the final.  Woitte' s '96 Mustang went well under his index, breaking out in the match. 

Mayor Laurie Gill, of Pierre, and Don DeVries, mayor of Hot Springs, squared off in the consolation bracket, with DeVries running closer to his dial in the final.  Woitte pulled off a perfect reaction time against Clyde Pfeifle, mayor of Timber Lake, in the semi finals.  Dennis "Swede" Larson, mayor of Blunt, and Fran Van Bockel, of Gettysburg, representing 2008 defending champion, Mayor Jack Axsom, also participated. 

The Bobcat/Morris Equipment LLC sponsored, Midwest Wild Bunch, making its third appearance at Oahe Speedway, ran three qualifying sessions on Saturday, in preparation for Sunday's eliminations.  Todd Bruce, of Horace, ND, and Cary Shonley, of Mitchell, pulled off identical .003 reaction times, to top the field. Clif Bakx, of Grunthal, Manitoba, Canada, set the Oahe Speedway elapsed time record,  in his final qualifying pass of the day.  Bakx pushed his rear engine dragster to a record setting, 6.529 seconds, in the quarter mile.

Coca Cola Super Pro points leader, Rick Meier, of Box Elder met his match in Chad Uhrig, of Pierre, in the final.  Uhrig, on a weekend tear of his own, defeated the red-hot Meier,  with a super .002 reaction time.  Meier has lead the points standings from the start of the year, and Uhrig , is one of the few to top the Corvette driver.  Meier served notice, in round one of qualifying, that he came to race, when he pulled off a lightning quick .001 reaction time.  To make sure the Super Pro crowd understood, he came back a round later, to grab a perfect reaction time, to ensure his number one qualifying spot. While Uhrig saved his best reaction time for Meier, in the final, Meier saved one of his worst reaction times of the day  for the same round.  Meier will maintain his point lead over Sean Billet, of Pierre, based on Billet's first round loss, ironically, to Meier. 

 Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte, and Stan "Butch" Monson, of Groton, met in the Pro finals.  Monson and Vines, number one and number two qualifiers, number one and two points leaders, Ford versus Chevy, East River/West River,  the match up was going to happen, sooner or later. 

Monson was unable to catch Vines in the final, with Vines "Bow-tie" handing Monson's "Blue oval" the loss.   Roger Anderson, of Pierre, had the best reaction time of eliminations, with a .001 in the first round.,  Unfortunately, Anderson's day was done when he broke our against Steve Boke, of Gettysburg.  Boke would last only one more round, losing to Monson in the third round. 

In a battle of the Johnson's, Wade Johnson, of Rapid City, and Stan Johnson, of Sioux Falls, squared off in the finals.  The West River Johnson took the win, at the starting line, with a fast .007 reaction time.  Wade padded his points lead, by virtue of Stan Johnson's first round defeat of

Chris Boom, of Pierre. Derek Wipf, of Huron, number one qualifier, met

Stan Johnson, in the semis.  Johnson clicked the win light to take the victory. 

In her rookie year of Sportsman Racing, Toni Vetter, of Gettysburg, picked up her first 2009 class trophy.  Vetter, a veteran of the Junior Dragster ranks, powered her '75 Mustang past Scott Romero, of Kadoka, in the finals.  Romero defeated Mary O'Connor, of Fort Pierre, Saturday's Trophy Shootout runner up, in the second round.  O'Connor was the number one qualifier in the class. 

2007 and 2008 Beck Motor Company Street Trophy Class Champion, Brennan Gray, of Pierre,  defeated rival, Ron Winterberg, of Timber Lake, in the finals.  Winterberg will maintain the points lead, despite losing in the final.  Second place points runner, Randy Magilke, of Pierre,  lost in the first round.  Chris Pigors, of Ferney, qualified number one, only to meet up with Gray, in the first round.

Alyssa Colson, of Blunt, beat newcomer, Matt Bogner, of Belle Fourche, in the  Snap On/McGaugh Trailer Repair High School finals.  Bogner, in his rookie year, fouled away his chance at the starting line.  Number one qualifier, Stephanie Holm, of Pierre, will move in to second place, in the points, by virtue of Taryn Colson's first round loss.  Colson, of Blunt, is in her rookie year of High School class racing, joining sister, Alyssa, on the Colson Farms/Hirsch Landscaping/Kroeplin Ag sponsored team.

Jonathon Huse, of Onida, emerged as the winner of the BankWest Junior Dragster class on Sunday afternoon.  Huse beat Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in the final.  Fuchs took out number one qualifier, Jonathan Geuther, of Fort Pierre, in the semis and Huse denied another final round,  to Tucker Driscoll, of Watertown, in the balance of the round.   Driscoll was runner up in Saturday's Trophy Shootout. 

Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, defeated Becki Fuchs, of Bowman,  ND, in the Truck n Car Wash/Dominos Junior Gamblers race. 

Marcia Graves, of Pierre, and Lyle Magorien, of Pierre, faced off in the

Gamblers final, with Magorien's  '93 Mustang topping Graves' '80 Mustang in the all Ford final.     

Todd Bruce, of Horace ND, driving a blown alcohol,

23 T Altered, defeated Ray Fuchs, of Bowman ND, in the Midwest Wild Bunch presented by Bobcat/Morris Equipment LLC finals.  Bruce and Cary Shonley, of Mitchell, qualified number one with identical .003 reaction times. Bruce drew the bye, in the uneven field, for the first round.  Shonley advanced to round two and met Fuchs, with the North Dakota driver, taking the win.   

Weekend Race Results Posted

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

With a ton of help from Nancy, we have posted results sheets for all our weekend rounds of racing.  Going forward, we will post the results in this format.  the previous format was an extremely  time consuming process.

To that end, we were only listing quarter, semi and final results.  Now all rounds will be available. With that having been said, please bear with us, as we are working through the data base, to ensure correct spelling and data entry.  As we go forward, it is essential that we get as much accurate information, as we can, on each and every tech card.  While we cannot go back and correct the posted sheets, we can clear up future entries.

2009 National Dragster Challenge

Saturday, August 1

The 5th annual running of the National Dragster Challenge took place at Oahe Speedway on Saturday.   Great weather and a visit from NHRA's

Bob Frey, the "voice" of NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing, highlighted the day.  Frey was on site,  along with Mike  Panic, videographer , to film the action for "Inside Drag Racing".  "Inside Drag Racing" is the longest running, drag racing related, program on television.

The National Dragster Challenge rewards each class winner with a replica "Wally " trophy.  The highly treasured t trophy is named after NHRA's late founder, Wally Parks.  Parks, who passed away in 2007, created the National Hot Rod Association in 1951. 

Super Pro stand out, Rick Meier, of Box Elder, took the "Wally' in the final, when Dale Garber, of Pierre, broke out at the finish line.  Meier ran 11.001, on his 11.00 dial in to take the win. Number one qualifier, Sean Billet, of Pierre, fell to Garber in the third round.  Billet nailed down the number one qualifying spot, with a perfect reaction time, during the second round of qualifying. 

In a 29 car field, Pro took five rounds to decide the winner.  Larry Iversen took home his first "Wally", with a win over, number one qualifier, Todd Casper, of Lake Preston.  Casper, returning to the speedway, following a few weeks absence, fouled away his chances at the starting line. 

Bike/Snowmobile winner, Charles Snyder, of Belle Fourche, took the win at the starting line, when Ed Pope, of Pierre, became a bit over anxious, and drew the red light.  In a twist of fate, Snyder avenged his 2007 National Dragster Challenge final round loss to the same sled.  The 2007 champ, Allen Pope, Ed's brother, rode the sled to that win. 2008  champ, Chris Boom, lost to Pope, in the first round.

Ann Hirsch, Oahe Speedway's 2009 "King of the Track", almost took home her second "Wally" of the season.  In a double break out final,  Alyssa Colson, of Blunt, ran closer to her dial in, taking the win at the finish line.

Street Trophy winner, Bert Bogner, of Oral, took his third "Wally' , in defeating, Robert Kuntz", of Thompson, ND, in their final match up.  Kuntz fouled away his chances, when he left the starting line a bit too soon.  Having watched Bogner get nearly a 4.5 second head start, Schumacher drew the red light and handed the win to Bogner.  Bogner took the class win in the 2006 and 2007 Challenges. 

Stephanie Holm, rookie High School Class  competitor snared her first "Wally", with a win over Alyssa Colson. Colson, competing in both High School and Sportsman classes, was looking to double up on Saturday. Holm denied the quest, with a great .016 reaction time, forcing Colson to play catch up.  Colson broke out , by .054 seconds, at the stripe, to  hand the win over to Holm.  Number one qualifier, Matt Bogner, of Belle Fourche lost to Holm in the semi's. 

  Junior Dragster competition was held in conjunction with the National Dragster Challenge.  The Junior set will have their Junior Drag Racing League Challenge on September 5th.  The winner's trophy went to Cody Ryckman, of Fort Pierre, in a victory over Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND.

Race number four of the 2009 Dale's A-1 Super Series was held on Saturday, with Pat Conlin, of Fairview, MT, making his first 2009 visit to Oahe Speedway, a good one.  Conlin chased down Super Series race number three winner, Bobi Legner, of Pierre, to take the win.  Lance Trujillo, of Gillette, WY, suffered a heartbreaking loss in the second round, losing to Kent Hagberg, of Spencer, NE, by the narrowest of margins.  Hagberg's front wheels passed over the finish line only 2.98 inches ahead of the hard charging Trujillo.  The 2009 Super Series champion will be crowned on September 5.  Rick Meier, of Box Elder, leads the points, through four races, with Bobi Legner, sitting in second, and Lance Trujillo, in third place.

Motorcycle/ Snowmobile finals paired the number one and two qualifiers, with Wade Johnson, of Rapid City, emerging victorious over Chris Boom, of Pierre.

Oahe Speedway Shootouts

August 15, 2009

Despite the weather forecasts, Oahe Speedway hosted a great field of competitors on Saturday.  Early morning clouds gave way to a beautiful afternoon of racing at the speedway.

Chad Uhrig, of Pierre, marched through the Oahe Speedway Box Shootout field, to take the win, over David Rae, of Gillette, WY.  Uhrig was unopposed, when Rae was unable to make the final call, due to mechanical difficulties.  Saving the best for last, Uhrig pulled off a perfect light, in his single run, for the cash. Number one qualifier, Sean Billet, of Pierre,  was eliminated by the red-hot Uhrig, in the second round.  Uhrig snared a .006 reaction time, coupled with a run just .002 off his dial in, to trailer Billet, for the day. 

Shannon DePoy, of Lantry, took the day off, from harvesting, and made the trip to Oahe.  The DePoy's brought along their harvest crew as support, and

truly entertained their guests.  The crew, with workers from England and Scotland, was introduced to NHRA drag racing, Oahe Speedway style.

To cap the day, DePoy won the Oahe Speedway No Box Shootout final, over Todd Casper, of Lake Preston.  Casper met  number one qualifier, Eric Feucht, of Canton, in the second round.  Feucht, a first time visitor to Oahe, was a bit too anxious at the starting line, drawing the red bulb.

A twenty eight car Trophy Shootout field narrowed to Shawn England and Brian Brady, both of Pierre.  England, back on his '06 Hyabusa, pulled off a better reaction time, to take the win over Brady, in his '86 Regal.  Had Brady's reaction time been a bit better, coupled with his  perfect dial in run, the outcome may have been different.  Brady ran 11.890 on an 11.89 dial in.  Charles "Ninja" Snyder, of Belle  Fourche, number one qualifier, tossed away his chance, with a red light against England, in the semifinals. 

Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, and Cody Ryckman, of Fort Pierre, paired off in the Junior Dragster final.  Fuchs took the win, when Ryckman ran under her dial in.  Fuchs beat number one qualifier, Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, in round one.      

Ann Hirsch, of Pierre, took the Gamblers win over Mark Yardley, of Gordon , NE.  Yardley, a first time visitor to Oahe Speedway, broke out by just .009 seconds, against Hirsch.

Coca Cola Points Race #8

 August 16 , 2009  

The overcast skies, of Saturday, gave way to one of the best weather days of the season, on Sunday.  The Coca Cola Points Series is heading into the final stretch, with completion of the eighth race of the 2009 season.

Curt Humann, of Pierre, went polo to pole, to win the Coca Cola Super Pro final against newcomer, Darin Cranny, of Plankinton.  Cranny, making his first appearance, at Oahe, fouled away his chances at the starting line, against Humann, in the final.  Human took out Rick Meier, current points leader, in the semis.  With Sunday's win, Humann moves into a tie for second place, with Chad Uhrig, of Pierre.  

Saturday's No Box Shootout number one qualifier,  Eric Feucht, of Canton, avenged his early round loss, and took the Coca Cola Pro final, on Sunday.

Feucht, in his '68 Chevelle, used a better reaction time to defeat the '81 Malibu, driven by  Paul Berger, of Pierre.  Bob Swart, of Mitchell, defeated number one qualifier, Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte, in the second round.  Swart fell victim to Feucht, in the semis.   Stan " Butch"  Monson, of Groton, leads the Coca Cola Pro Points Series over Vines.  Monson lost in the first round, against Roger Hanson, of Pierre. 

Wade Johnson, of Rapid City, took the number one qualifying spot, in the Coca Cola Motorcycle/Snowmobile class, and never looked back.  Johnson, on his '83 Suzuki chased down Chris Boom , of Pierre, in the final.   In the double break out final, Johnson ran closer to his dial in, to take the win.  Johnson maintains a sizeable lead over Boom, in the 2009 points series, going into the final two races of the series. 

Travis Falcon, of Pierre, moved into the points lead, with a win over Jarrod Feucht, of Canton, in the Coca Cola Sportsman final.  Falcon, number one qualifier, got around Tom Harms, of Valentine, NE, in the semifinals.  Harms falls  to second place, in the points standings, just a single point behind Falcon.  The Feucht family brought two immaculately prepared '70's Novas and a wicked '68 Chevelle to Oahe Speedway.  Jarrod and Eric's sister, Jessi, drove her '75 Nova to the second round, losing to Todd Sell, of Langford.  

Alan Vetter, of Gettysburg, took the win over Dolly Rush, of Bath, in the Beck Motor Company Street Trophy final.  Rush broke out in the final run, handing the win to Vetter and his '73 Mustang convertible.  Rush, driving a   '69 GTX, owned by Travis Olson, and a rookie in the class, picked up her second runner up finish of the year.  Ron Winterberg, of Timber Lake, holds the points lead over Randy Magilke, of Pierre.

Tyler Ehlers padded his Snap-On/McGaugh Trailer Repair High School Class point lead with a  win over Taryn Colson, of Blunt, in the final.  Colson moved into second place, with her runner up finish, on Sunday.   Colson, number one qualifier, leads third place Stephanie Holm, of Pierre by 98 points. 

BankWest Junior Dragster winner ,Haley Hopf, of Ramona, left first, on her slower dial in, and forced Bonne Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, to run her down.  Fuchs tried just a bit too hard and broke out in the final.  Hopf beat number one qualifier, Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, in the second round.  Hopf continued taking no prisoners, defeating current points leader,

Ashley Holm , in the semis.

The Truck 'n Car Wash/Domino's Junior Gamblers final went to Cody Ryckman, of Fort Pierre, over Austin Mohr, of Mitchell.

Father and son, Gary and Josh Buer, of  Lake Preston, met in the Gambler finals, with the younger Bauer taking the measure of his dad.  This was the first,  final pairing of the duo, ever, with  the elder Bauer taking it in stride, saying, "there is always next time!".
