Citrus County Speedway Results - 10/29/16

[John Berti]

The 2016 racing season came to an end last night at the new Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, FL with the running of the "Halloween Spectacular".

Spectacular it was as once again a tremendous crowd turned out to be treated to a great night of action packed racing five divisions strong headed up by the Sportsman, Super Late Models and Open Wheel Modifieds.

Our DJ, Magic, had the place rocking with his usual, always appropriate to rev up the crowd music. Our all new, totally installed PA system cranking out 7000 watts of power made it possible for fans from turn four right across to turn one to be able to hear the call of all the races loud and clear throughout the night.

It also proved to be a great night for the kids as throngs of ghosts, goblins, zombies princesses, super heroes, you name as imaginations went to the outer limits took to the speedway during intermission to trick or treat with the drivers and take part in the costume contest. Determining winners in the costume contest was challenging as many of the costumes the youngsters were wearing were truly outstanding. All none winners were treated to popsicles at the concession stand.

We even had a best dressed up for Halloween race car contest which was won by Sportsman driver Eddie Allen with runner up honors going to Mini Stock driver Steve Turner. Allen opted to donate his prize to a lucky fan which was determine through a contest question.

Thank you for getting out the results this morning Mr.Berti

Nice to see Darryl Shelnuts name back in the winners circle. Evidently Citrus and Desoto were the only ones with much interest in posting results a day later.I wonder how full the stands were at tracks that don't feel the need to.

The Sportsman event was action filled, with multiple cautions.

Sean Bass had the strongest car, but he apparently did not clear tech.

Both the red and black #01 and what I thought was the red and black #36 deserve honorable mentions for coming through the field multiple times after being involved in multiple incidents.

Congratulations also to Darryl Shelnut in the #7 Super-late, he was fast and indicated he was back after overcoming accident related issues.
