Feb 14th Tin Arre wins the Richie Evans Memorial 100. The race started well with Arre and Bertuccio on the front row. Flemke followed the two of them and got a great start to come out behind Arre on the start. Flemke made a pass for the lead early and looked fast. The caution would fly for Bock who hit the inside wall hard. This would bunch up the field as the race would go green until the mid way point in the race. Christopher's car started to slow and need a caution to come in for repairs. Luck would be on his side as the 06 of Whitt would spin to bring out the caution. All the leaders came into the pits for fresh rubber. Summers and Kent stayed out and took the lead. Christopher return to the track just as the race went green again, but would quickly go yellow with the help of Brady's backup car who stopped in turn 2. This would allow Christopher to come into the pits again and make some more repairs. On this caution the rest of field pitted giving the lead back to Flemke. Flemke was fast until something broke in the late going handing the lead back to Arre. The final caution would fly with 5 laps to go but the field would remain unchanged at the finish. Arre was followed by Bertuccio, Ewanitsko, Whiit and Baldwin.The SK portion was won by Wainwright with a last lap pass of Gunning.

Results: Arre, Bertuccio, Ewanitsko, Whitt, Baldwin, Kent, Summers,

Feb 13th Bertuccio wins from the pole. It took 3 attempt to get the race started but when they finally got going it went non stop green to checkered. Flemke made some moves early to put himself into 3 place but that was a far as he could get. Christopher came from the 10th starting position to finish in 5th. Arre's night didn't go as well as he finish back in the field. Bo Gunning picked up the SK portion of the night for the 4th time.

Feb 12th Christopher wins his 3rd feature in the 50 lap race tonight. The race started with Bock and Christopher on the pole. By the second lap Christopher pulled out to the early lead. Caution would fly on lap 8 pulling the field back together. Flemke would start on the outside and work on Christopher. By lap 13 he would take the lead and hold on to it until a caution flew on lap 21. Arre pitted while running in 3rd spot for fresh right side tires. On the restart Christopher jumped the start and green never came out, he would get spun in turn 2 by Flemke. This cause TC to pit for right side tires and that's when the show got interesting. TC came through the field like a man on a mission. The caution flew again with just a handful of laps left setting up an exciting finish with Christopher coming out on top followed by Flemke, Bertuccio, Summers and Arre. Bo Gunning return to the SK victory lane with the backup car.

Feb 11th Tim Arre takes the win on a wreckfest night. Wainwright was the winner in the SK division. The race was filled with controversy as Christopher and Bertuccio were fighting for the lead on the restarts. Christopher finally got the lead with about 4 laps to go but ran out of gas with 2 laps to go and got spun by Bertuccio. This setup an exciting finish with Arre making the pass coming of 4. In other action Willis was wrecked on the restart as TC and Bertuccio started the race going into three causing problem further back in the field. Willis showed his displeasure to both of them as well as the starter. Bo Gunning hit the wall hard in turn 3 distroying the car.

Feb 8th Christopher and Gunning make it 2 for 2. Christopher held off Kent and a late race charge by Arre. Arre broke on lap 2 but was helped with another caution coming out before they could run another lap. His crew had enough time to make the repairs allowing him to return to the track. He looked like a man on a mission as he worked his way through the field. Summers looked strong early but was forced to retire when he missed a shift as they came down on a restart.

Feb 7th Ted Christopher wins night 1: On a cool night there were 23 mods & SK's who started the feature. Christopher started in the 3rd position with Flemke on his outside. By the time the cars got back to the front stretch Christopher had taken the lead and would hold it all the way. On the first restart Flemke stayed right with Ted and looked like he had a car to challenge but on the second restart Christopher got a good jump and Flemke never seem to recover.
