Thursday, August 14: It’s just me, so anyone connected with Enduro type racing, please don’t be
offended, but I just don’t like Enduros! The Daniel Boone 100 (thank goodness it wasn’t 200 laps,
as was the case in 2013) for stock cars took center stage at the Kutztown Fair on this night. It
becomes a scoring nightmare, even with transponders, but I kept one eye on the leader at all
times, so at least I always knew who was in front. And it was Randy Ahner Jr. who led most of the
way to notch the victory. A darn good wingless 270cc race was won by Richie Hartman (Mike Batz
said, “that’s the best race of the entire Fair, and I whole-heartedly agree with him), and Damon
Paul – I told you to remember that name – won his third and fourth (consecutive) Junior Slingshot
features. This kid, with his awesome personality and skill behind the wheel, is – in my humble
opinion - destined for greatness.
Saturday, August 16: Back at my Saturday night home, Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
It’s always neat to see a first time winner, and especially cool when the triumphant driver is just a
really good person. That was the case in the 600cc division, as Boyertown’s Taylor Troxel registered
his initial victory in the 25-lap main event. Taylor and his dad were just ecstatic in victory lane, and
it was really fun to watch them celebrate the big win. It was also a night for the young guns, as
Bradley Brown scored win number three in the 270’s, Kenny Miller III won his fifth of the season in
the 250cc Four-Stroke Class, Darren Miller also took home his fifth checkered flag of the year in the
125cc feature, and third generation racer Curtis R. Miller won his fourth Sportsman feature of the
season. The youth movement is alive and well at the Clyde…
