THE RACING EXPERIENCE
This was the first race of the season for us at Valley and also the first nite of OpenWheel Friday Nites. We shared the facility with the MSCA Sprint Cars and the Vintage Stock Cars.
A pill draw would determine the lineups of the heat races for tonite. For the next night of racing and the rest of the season, the drivers point average will determine their starting position in the heat races.

The rest of the field was tightly packed trying to sort out the track. Dave Parker in his new car and Scott Allen would have a side by side for the third position. Jesse Hockett, Bob Franklin and Matt Gilbert were all pressuring Dave and Scott. As the dicing continued, Hockett would work his way up to 3rd with the rest of the field swapping places. Jim would continue to lead with Kendall chasing. Hockett broke a steering arm sending him off the track. When the race resumed, Jim would again jump to the lead. Bob would drop out with a broken oil cooler. Jim would stay in front for his first win of the season. Kendall would run 2nd with Dave in 3rd.

As the 1st heat race winner, Jim would have the honors of rolling the die. He rolled a 5, so now the first 5 rows are inverted. Matt and Kevin would bring the field down for the green.
Dave would slow to a stop with problems. The race was restarted, with Kevin jumping to an early lead and Scott and Matt both on his heels. The position racing in the pack was fierce. Matt and Frank would get by Kevin. Kendall would catch an infield tire bending up his left front and sending him to the infield. Jim would work his way to 2nd with Matt flying on the high side of the track in 1st. Zack would have engine problems and as he tried to exit the track in turn 1, Matt would be caught between him and the outside wall. Matt would take a series of end over end rolls off the track in turn one. He was not injured, but this would end his bid for his first feature win. When the race restarted, it was clear that Jim was the guy to beat. Frank would try hard getting buy him, but Jim would hold off his challenges. Jesse had figured out the track and now he was flying on the high side in 3rd. Beau and Mark would be having their battle for the 4th spot. The first feature of the year would end with Jim Devore taking the honors, Frank 2nd, Jesse 3rd, Beau 4th and Mark 5th. Bobby Layne would work his way up to 6th
The racing in The Racing Experience Midwest Outlaw Lightning Sprints is fiercely competitive. This year there is 10 of these drivers that can win on any night. With low cost maintenance and motorcycle power, this is still the most economical way to go fast in a race car. These cars a 1 ½ seconds a lap faster than an A Mod or a Late Model.
We gave away 1 - 10 Lap Racing Experience YOU RACE promotional giveaway. Kim Whitworth of Raytown, MO was the happy winner.
Our next race is Friday May 5th at Valley Speedway. Come out and watch the Racing Experience MOLS cars sling the dirt. The RACING EXPERIENCE MOLS will once again be giving away a 10 Lap Racing Experience YOU RACE package at every one of our races. Remember “If you’re not PASSING…You’re not RACING!”
