Wyant Group Raceway
Results for Sunday, September 25, 2016
We’re really not sure what words best describe the racing we saw Sunday
at Wyant Group Raceway. Some of the words we heard include great,
super, fantastic, F%*#$@^ Awesome!!
We know there was some great disappointment Saturday when continued rain
forced the cancellation of the points final races for the Tiger
Automotive Pro Trucks, the Golf’s Car Wash Mini Stocks, the Saskatoon
Shrine Club Sask Legends and the Crimestoppers Bandoleros. Bad weather
has played a huge factor in their race schedule and it is extremely
disappointing the drivers were not able to try and slip through some of
the tight points races.
The crowd was so large and the lineup to get stretching back to 71st
Street, we delayed the start of the action for 30 minutes. We even
opened extra gates and made our flagmen take tickets to get everyone in
quicker. Diversification at its best.
I’m not sure if the Run-Your-Junk drivers really dislike each other away
from the track, but they sure beat on each others cars from the second
the green flag dropped. The #50 Ford Ranger of Josh Rob had probably
the most spectacular crash of the day. Coming out of corner four the
quarter ton was over on its side, then up on its nose doing a pirouette
for the fans, before crashing against the corner four traffic light and
catch fence.
Safety crews got out Josh out of his seatbelts, he crawled out and
danced on his overturned truck, before going for the mandatory ambulance
ride to be checked out.
M.D. Ambulance had a busy afternoon Sunday as they attended to two more
roll-overs and at least a couple more hard crashes. While several
drivers are going to be feeling the effects of their five-point
seatbelts today, only one was referred for further medical attention
with a wrist and ankle injury.
With 44 Run-Your-Junk cars registered, they were split into three heats,
with the winner of each heat receiving $150.00. #98 Taylor Derdall took
home the first prize of the day. Heat B saw Andy Clewes pick up the
cash in the #8 RB car. And the #5 of Kirk Senger picked up the third
heat win.
It was all on the line for the Run-Your-Junk feature though as 40 cars
were still running and lined up four wide for the standing start. As
the green flag flew there was no shyness about body rubs or trading
paint. Race officials had to put in extra effort trying to calm the
drivers down, giving extra pace laps under caution to settle them down
and even sending a couple in for a chat with pit copper Rob.
It took an hour and twenty minutes, but we finally got our 60 lap
winner, the #14 of Alyssa Derdall, walking away with $500.00. Two more
cars actually finished the full 60 laps, #98 Taylor Derdall and #15
Wyatt Campbell.
The older and larger Ultimate Enduro cars hit the track for two 50 lap
segments. With only 13 of these older rear wheel drive Chevelles, Monte
Carlos, Lincolns and Cadillacs, favor has obviously turned to the easier
to build Run-Your-Junk cars.
There’s also the tendency that the Enduro car drivers are old thunder
stock drivers, so there is more racing. The hits are also harder, with
emphasis on spinning the car rather than smashing it.
There’s also the old bump to pass rule, dropped on the drivers
occasionally to tighten the competition. Drivers also never know when
water may appear on the track, turning a corner into a skating rink.
The bump to pass rule, indicated by the green traffic lights flashing,
got the #34 of Mike Schroeder. Flagman Ryan Thompson set the lights to
flashing with eleven laps to go in the first Enduro segment. Drivers
are given a couple of laps grace to catch on, but Mike must have missed
it a little longer as he passed two cars without so much as a love tap.
The result was a two lap penalty. Though Mike ended the segment as the
first car to hit lap 50, the two lap penalty tied him with #13 of Kelly
Davis at 48 laps.
In the second segment, a late pass brought the #76 of Logan Derkson
across the finish line first, but Schroeder was close behind, also
completing the full 50 laps. As Logan only did 46 laps in the first
segment, Mike’s 98 laps total score gave him the win and the $1500.00
payout. #76 Logan Derkson was second with 96 laps for $1,000, #13 Kelly
Davis third for $700.
#55 Russell Smith and #79 Ryan Andrew were tied at 73 laps, but
Russels’s 5th plus 5th finish gave him the edge over Ryan’s 7th plus
4th, and $500 to Ryan’s $300.00
And finally in Always Towing Demolition Derby, the top prize of $1,000
was picked up by #143 of Rob Seniuk. #3 of Faron Burtnack took $300 and
#88 of Landon Peeteetuce cleared $100.
That wraps up the 2016 season for the Wyant Group Raceway. The SSCRA,
all the drivers and race teams, Prairie Boys Concessions and Azim Sports
Shop would like to thank all the fans, the corporate sponsors and
partners and of course the media for all the support this year. It was
a wonderful inaugural year under the Wyant Group Raceway banner.
Seasonal shutdown occurs next weekend and the Saskatoon Stock Car Racing
Association Awards Banquet takes place at Prairieland Park Saturday
November 5th. See the SSCRA office (12pm-4pm M-F) or any executive
member about tickets.
There will likely be one more race report coming out in the next few
days with the division and series champions and points leaders.
