Sunset Speedway Saturday August 16th 2008

Well after such a long timeout from racing due to the weather, everyone was thrilled to be back to some racing. With the fan appreciation and the Special Olympics Athletes in attendance, the stands were full and ready for some racing.

The first heat Tom started 7th and worked his way up to a 3rd place finish

The second heat had Tom starting on the front row outside of 45 of Rob Poole. At the drop of the green Tom wasted no time getting out front and stayed there going onto take the win.

Due to some on track incidents, the evening was rolling much later than anticipated and the late models would have their feature cut down to 18 laps. This would provide for some interesting racing as Tom was starting in the 13th position and knew he would have his work cut out for him with the 11 of Chris Morrow and the 19 of Jason Witty in front of him. A fantastic battle was shaping up between Chris Morrow, Stompin' Tom Walters and Jason Witty. The three cars had stormed through the field together with the 11 of Chris Morrow now leading, for the closing 5 laps, Stompin' Tom searched for a way by on the inside, but Morrow had the low groove locked up tight. As the checkers dropped, the top three were Morrow, Walters and Witty.

Special thank you to everyone from South Simcoe Special Olympics for their support. It was great to see everyone coming out for the fan appreciation. The crew did a great job as they always do. Also a big congratulations to Herb "cheque casher" Walters on his win Saturday night.

Kawartha Speedway Friday July 25th, 2008

Well after having 2 weeks off from Kawartha, everyone was happy to be back to racing. With that it was a 100 lap invitational which saw a fair amount of visitors come out to race as well. With 18 limited lates on hand it was sure to be a great show. The stands were full of spectators and even the horse track was filled with classic cars.

The first heat Tom started 8th. With 11 of Chris Morrow on the pole for the first heat, he would set the pace and jump ahead quickly and staying green all the way, 11 went on to win and Tom worked his way up to a 4th place finish.

In the Semi, Tom started 3rd. Tom finished 2nd behind the 1 of Vic Parsons. Now the field was set for the 100 laps and Tom was ready for the challenge.

Tom started 10th in the feature. In the first half of the race Tom was very patient and saving tires watching all the while what was happening up front. With the 20 of Dwight Brown out early, the crew were aware that this could be a good opportunity to make up some ground in the points as well. At about the half way point of the race Stompin Tom began the charge to the front, and once he got to the front, this is where he would remain for the finish with the 1 of Vic Parsons chasing him down and finishing 2nd. Tom and the crew came home with a big win and a great birthday present. With this win, Tom now stands 1st in the points at Kawartha and Vic Parsons close behind in 2nd. The drive for 25 is alive.

Congratulations to everyone on the crew for this win. Thank you to everyone for their support and the sponsors are awesome and its great to give back to the supporters and fans of Stompin Tom Motorsports.

Be safe everyone and see you all again back in Kawartha on Wednesday August 13th, which is a 75 lap race.

Please note that Saturday July 26, 2008 at Sunset Speedway was cancelled due to flooding in the pit area.

Sunset Speedway Saturday July 19, 2008

Finally we get to go racing again. We had rained out the previous evening at Kawartha with threatening skies looming all evening. The forecast was looking grim but luck would have it, it turned out to be a really nice night for the 50 lap late model race. The crowd was large and ready for some good racing. We also had Sponsors out on Saturday Night which was great.

For the first heat Tom would start outside pole along side of the 28 of Rod Tooley. On the green Tom wasted no time getting ut front where he would stay for the rest of the heat going onto win.

The second heat had Tom starting 5th but the 19 of Jason Witty was able to hold Tom off for the win with Tom coming 2nd. Coming off 2 good heats and a very responsive racecar, Tom and the crew were quite happy going into the feature.

For the feature, Tom would be starting 12th behind, the 11 of Morrow and the 19 of Jason Witty. When the green flag fell Tom prepared for takeoff, at lap 13 the caution would come out, at this point Tom was in 2nd behind the 03 of Dario Cappricchio. Within a few laps Tom had made the pass for the lead and would not look back. But during the feature Tom was loosing brakes, and then had to get up on the wheel to bring this win. In the closing laps the 19 of Jason Witty was able to catch Tom in the corner but just could not get by as Tom would hold of Jason for the the win.

Stompin Tom wins the 50 lapper. The crew had done an awesome job all day long. It was great to have our sponsors out on this evening, as well having HF Smith Lumber on hand presenting the trophies. The fans and spectators are fantastic and great and big thanks goes out to everyone involved in making these nights great. The drive for 25 is alive and we will keep working towards the goal.

This Friday July 25th, is 100 lap race at Kawartha. Hope to see everyone make the trip out there. Stay cool everyone.

Sunset Speedway Saturday June 28, 2008

The feature from June 21st had Tom starting 12th outside of the 11 of Morrow. Tom would make contact with 11 early in the race and with the caution not coming out and 11 gathering up quickly it would stay green and go flag to flag with Tom winning the feature.

The first heat had Tom starting 4th and was AMAZING...Tom and Morrow came off turn 4 side-by-side Morrow got wayyy lose bounced off Tom, Morrow was able to straighten himself out and get to the checkers about 1/4 of a car length 1st with Tom coming home 2nd.

The feature had Tom starting in the 14th position with tight racing all the way through, the race went flag to flag with the 11 of Morrow winning and Tom coming home 2nd.

Kawartha Speedway Friday June 27, 2008

Coming into Kawartha Friday night the team was coming off very respectible finishes the week before and hoping to make up more points tonight. It was a warm night bringing lots of spectators out for some exciting racing.

The first heat had Tom starting outside pole with the 98 of Graham inside. Tom worked his way forward with 2 laps to go it would be side by side with the 22 of Delisle, racing Tom hard for the lead, it would be Tom coming out on top to win the checkers.

For the feature Tom would be starting 7th in the field. Coming off 2 wins on the night so far, the team was happy with the car and hoping for a good finish on the night. The feature saw some good hard racing. The caution would come out with a handful of laps left to go bunching up the field and the makings of an exciting finish. With about 4 laps left to go it would be the 20 of Delisle and 47 of Tom racing each other hard side by side every lap. Coming out of turn 4 to the checkers, still side by side 20 was outside of Tom when the 1 of Parsons tried to make it 3 wide, caught Tom's car in the corner, Tom managed to keep from spinning coming home 2nd to the 20 of Delisle. Vic ended up making hard contact with the inside wall causing hard damage, but he was not hurt.

Have a great CANADA DAY everyone! See you all Friday night.

Sunset Speedway Saturday June 21st 2008

With another weather threatening evening, the clouds seemed to steer clear of the speedway and it looked like it was going to be another great night of racing. And it certainly started out this way for Tom.

The first heat had Tom starting 6th. With that Tom went to work quickly and made some exciting moves to the front chasing down 03 of Dario Capprichio moving back and forth causing Dario to wonder whether Tom would look inside or outside for the lead, and hold him off. But Tom went upstairs and did not look back going on to take the checkered flag.

The second heat had Tom on the pole with the 40 of Charlie Gallant outside. The green flag fell and Tom led every lap going onto take the checkered flag in heat 2 as well.

The feature, well we did not make it that far. Due to an unfortunate accident in the 4 cylinder feature. The rest of the evening was cancelled and the feature for June 21 will be run on June 28. Tom will be starting 12th in the feature. It was a great night for Tom and the crew. The DRIVE FOR 25 IS ALIVE.

On Saturday June 28, 2008 there will be double features for the late models as well as fan appreciation night. Be sure to get there early as autographs and giveaways happen shortly after 6pm. We look so forward to the excitement of the kids faces. These nights give all the teams a nice boost to know that the fans enjoy what they see. Come one, come all and come early.

Thank you to the sponsors and crew for their neverending support. Be sure to check out the new championship t-shirts. Also we have hats arriving Saturday.

Have an awesome week everyone. See you Saturday.
