The motorcycles lit up the race track at Saratoga Speedway last weekend.
The Motorcycles were up in bikes on Saturday, with a field of six taking to the track. Bruce Moran (#68) dominated the motorcycle division on Saturday, setting fast time in qualifying with a time of 23.120.
From that point on, Moran had no competition, taking home wins in the dash, heat and leading all but four laps in the main event to win every race in the motorcycle division. So far this season, Moran has won six of seven races, proving that you’re going to have to bring your best to beat him.
Daryl Cahill (#02) dominated the 35-lap feature for the hornet cars, leading all but four laps and taking home his second-straight main event win, inching his way closer to catching his brother Daryn Cahill (#08) for first overall in the points race.
The I.M.C.A modifieds, bomber cars and the motorcycles were also all on the racing card on Saturday.
The I.M.C.A Modifieds were making their second appearance of the year. Bart Smith (#00) once again set fast time with a time of 15.312. Smith took home the win in the dash, with a hard fought win in the heat going to Kevin Noble (#53).
Seven cars took to the track for their 30 lap feature race. Tim Openshaw (#44) battled Smith, Noble and others to hold his lead for the first 20 laps. A lap car on lap 20 caused Openshaw, Pat Brown (#98) and Smith to go four wide down the back stretch, with Smith coming out of it in first place, dropping Openshaw into third place. Smith would pull away from the pack from there, taking home his second main event win of the year.
The bomber cars were also making their second appearance of the year on Saturday. In the 30-lap feature, Darren Larson (#5) got out to an early lead and held onto it for the first 10 laps until Stewart Lee (#72) fought his way around the outside of Larson coming out of turn four to take the lead.
Lee had no competition from there, stretching his lead over Gilles Cyr to over half a lap and eventually taking home the win.
The hornet cars were racing for the second weekend in a row on Saturday. The 35-lap feature main event was dominated by Daryl Cahill (#02). Daryl took the lead on lap four and stretched his lead from there, lapping several cars in his path. Kevin and Jennifer Lawrenuk would battle for second and third with brother Kevin eventually taking home second, and third going to Jennifer.
Extra laps
Next weekend features crash to pass, roadrunners and the hornet cars. June 16 is the annual Car Toss Competition. The record for the competition is 64 feet, six inches set in 2008; crash to pass, hornets and roadrunners will also be on the racing card.
