Varney ON- One of the warmest nights of the season made for slick conditions on the speedway at Full Throttle Friday night but that did not stop three out of the five classes from having one driver capture both feature races.
Kicking off the night where the Mini Trucks and with some great set up work done on the trucks this past week by Brandon Hauck from Waterloo he had this class of trucks all running within tenths of a second of each other bring the race down to driver ability. In feature one Brandon would wheel the #7 truck to Victory Lane in front of the #88 Bubba Brown from London, third would go to #29 Kevin McMillen from Palmerston and fourth #1 Denny Snider from Durham. In feature two with a few driver changes it would be the #1 truck making its way to Victory Lane with Adam Racine at the wheel, second was #7 Brandon Hauck, third #29 Kevin McMillen, fourth #88 Bubba Brown.
In Super Truck action the same truck came to victory lane for both features but with different drivers behind the wheel. In feature one it was Mike Becker from Cambridge behind the wheel followed by the #112 truck piloted this week by Gord Bennett from Durham and rounding out the field #7 Brody Schiestel from Palmerston. In feature two Gord Bennett would take the controls of the #69 bringing it to victory lane in front of #112 driven by Mike Becker, third #12 George Carter and fourth #7 Brody Schiestel.
Fun Stock action this week saw the return of Matt Clarke from Mount Forest in his brightly painted #85 as he was able to take both features leading one of the strongest fields of Funs Stocks in the Province. Second in feature one would go to #88 Jason Tolton from Guelph, third #25 Billy Lovell from Mildmay, fourth #34 Alex Hastie for Durham and in fifth #0 Nick Clarke from Clifford. In feature two second would go to #32 Ben Klages from Hanover, third #0 Nick Clarke, fourth #14 Luke Bos from Conn and rounding out the top five #73 Sherri McIntyre from Bayfield.
In Mini Stocks it would be again be #63 Brandon Crumbie from Cookstown staying in front of the hard charging field of some of the best Mini Stock drivers in the Province that call Full Throttle home. Second in feature one would go to #36 Corry Young from Owen Sound, third #7 Paul Boyd from Harriston, fourth #35 this week driven by Billy Zardo from Brampton, and fifth #6 Travis McLean from Harriston. In feature two second would go to #50 Chad Corcorwin from Milton, third #36 Corry Young, fourth #34 T.J. Edwards from Fergus and rounding out the top five #6 Travis McLean.
Street Stocks took to the track again this week to entertain the fans with many cars making vast improvements over the past few weeks tightening up one of the closest fields on the highbanks. In the end it would be #35 Mike Thebeau from Mitchell taking home both feature races. Second in feature one would go #01 Travis Farrow from Holstein, third #6 Rob Wark from Chesley, fourth #1 Bob Parsons from Princeton and in fifth #20 Ryan Edwards-Kiss from Londesboro.
