Capital City's 50th Anniversary Season comes to an end.

Capital City's 2011 Season is all but over. The only thing left is the clean up and a few drfting nights left. Summer Slam turned out to be a beautiful day thanks to Mother Nature. She owed us that one after so many nights where we had everything weather wise happenning at the track. Some nights we had rain, sun, thunderstorms looming about, rainbows and clear skies all at the same time. We had nights it was clear and sunny at the track and rain everywhere else. It was nice of her to let us finish off the season on a warm and sunny day.

The car turnout was good, except we had a few Thunder cars missing making that class a little light. The cars we did have though put on  a great show in front of a packed house. Higher Education and Black Stallion put on a car crushing performance which was the highlite of the day. Mike Vaters from Vaters Motorsports said thanks to all of the fans that came out to see them, and he had also said he would love to come back as he had a smashing time.

By throwing in some more money, the Late Models agreed to make it twin 30's and the overall winner of the two races was Ken Baird. I would like to thank all of our local drivers and the four out of town drivers for coming out.

The Thunder class feature was won by Dave Stinson who continues his winning ways.

The Legends National Qualifiers were won by Steve Cantrell ( Pro Division ) who showed why he is one of the top Legends drivers in the country. Kevin Foisy won the Masters Division ( over 40 ) in a borrowed car and showed why he was so dominant during the regular season when he made it out to race. The Semi Pro class was won by new comer to the Legends class this year, Brian Saunders. Brian has certainly stepped up his game over the last few weeks and this young man ( only 15 ), will be a force to be reckoned with next year for sure.

The Mini Stock race was won by Kyle Baker. Kyle was ahead of Casey Cavanagh who finish second in season points. Casey brought out his new car for 2012 and showed that he again will be a competitor in 2012. We will be reviewing the rules once again for 2012 and hope to make some more fine tuning in this class to make it even more exciting for next year.

The four for fun  class race was won by Quincy Roberts in  the borrowed car of Jordan Biggs. Quincy was not able to repair his mini stock in time for Saturday's race. I am quite confident that Quincy will be back next year in the mini stock class with his car and trying once again to win that Championship.
