Ephrata, Wa. –
5-3-08 – The Limited Late Model Racing Series kicked off the 2008 racing season at Ephrata Raceway Park May 3rd.
On a cold desert night, 14 Limited Late Models from 4 different states converged on Ephrata Raceway Park for the LLMRS “Desert Dust 50” season opener. The top 3 qualifiers were all faster than last season’s track record with John Boyatt besting the rest at 14.68, setting a new mark and claiming the pole just as he started his championship season last year.
The A-Dash saw the fast 4 of Bob Hays, “Terrible” Tim McDougald, 16yr old phenom Dylan Caldwell and John Boyatt take the green flag to contest for the first trophy of the new season. “Terrible” Tim McDougald wasted no time taking the lead with his new Toyota Camry, and would go on to lead the entire A-Dash, besting a hard charging Boyatt coming to the checkered flag, claiming the trophy by mere inches and claiming the first win for the new make in LLMRS competition.
The 50-lap Main Event saw a field of 13 limited Late Models take the green flag, as the Toyota of McDougald suffered engine troubles and would have to sit out the nights events after the A-Dash. Chris Schlaht would take the early lead, with the 2 fast cars of Boyatt and Caldwell coming hard up through the field. Boyatt weaved his way through the field like a sewing needle, the 40 car of Caldwell following close behind. Lap 5 would see the first incident as Caldwell tried to follow Boyatt around the 3 car of John Pokorny when the two cars went for the same real estate, ending with Caldwell hard in the front straight wall breaking the suspension on his car, ending his night. With the 68 car of McDougald and the 40 car of Caldwell sidelined, the 30 car of Bob Hays was the only one left to contend with Boyatt and his #10 Monte Carlo. Boyatt would go on to dominate from lap 5 leaving Hays to settle for second place. Vic Beard would find himself in 3rd as they took the checkered flag, beating the rain by only a short time. John Pokorny and Mitch Kleyn would round out the top-5.
The Limited Late Model Racing Series heads to Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval on May 24th for the “Thunder in the Valley 50”. Be sure to catch this exciting new series and see some of the new faces as well as some rising stars.
