Still operating under COVID-19 restrictions, the track was unable to open the front gates for spectators, but drivers were able to come and enter competition with limited crew.

Rob Hetrick was one of the racers in Gianni Mazia’s MOD and passed away from cancer over the winter. A memorial race was held in his honor with the weekly payout increased to $4000 with contributions from competitors, family and friends. Multi time track Champion Dale Eckert took home the $1500 to win over Mason Fix.

Don Becker, on his Ski-Doo snowmobile was the first competitor in Buffalo Chopper Bikes & Sleds to take out Mike Peters this season. Peters was undefeated so far this season until meeting Becker in the final.

Jan Winkowski won Mallare Trucking Top class over Dan Hinrich when Hinrich fouled on the starting line.

TOP 8 was won by Lucas Salemi, who moved into a dragster after winning the Bikes & Sleds Class Championship last season. Dave Cleveland was the runner-up.

Wayne Kofahl from Chili took home the win in Tread City Discount Tire Street over Dominic Pace. Next Friday July 24 will bring another full card of Drag Racing accompanied by Buffalo Street Outlaw Limited Street 6.50 and 5.50 classes.
