There were fewer cars at DIS this week, but a lot of the cars that were there were not at GT on Friday, and same for GT, a lot there were not at DIS on Saturday.
Kelly Hastings was shaking down the back up car #85M, of Jake Marie Team.
During the 2nd heat Dutton was on the point, but as the cars reached turn 1 Ricky Johnson got a bit out of shape and the result had Beau Wilkins, Dutton, and Johnson both on the hook. Wilkins did return but laps down. Heat 1 had Steve Downs II, brake line break and he was able to fix it before the feature.
Donny Radd had a brand new Bicknell with the Coulbournes owned car, looking pretty sharp. They were testing it and had a little fuel pressure problem, and elected to use the back up car.
Johnson went to his back up car with the shock shaft and more broke, as Wilkins motor blew when he returned to the track in the heat and used the back up car. Norman Short had the battery die in the heats was able to correct the problem for the feature; he put on a fantastic show up front with Mills, and Bunting. In the feature Dutton tried to run but only 5 laps in before he bit the dust for the night.

The Late Model race was super good with only one yellow. Gary Simpson looked to be a winner until the only yellow around lap 14. The top 5 guys gave one hell of a race, I would compare it to the almost as good as WoOLMS race DIS held couple years ago. Ricky Elliot won under the flag stand on the last lap running off turn 4 by only .025, 1/ thousandths of a second.
David Hill finished in the top five, I'm sure that felt good compared to troubles the couple of runs. Kerry King had trouble with the value on top of the motor, and tries to enter pit exit but the cars steers to the embankment. King should have the car that flipped this coming week. Donald Lingo, Jr. was very strong until he lost his drive shaft around lap 14.
In the 2nd heat Jarvis car did not get up to speed on the start with Mike Williams all in the rear with no where to go. The cars drive line shaft that goes to the transmission broke. Jarvis was rolled off on the hook and sending for the back up car. The team went home and got back with the back up car so Jarvis would make the field. Good Work!
Ed Drurdy # 72, of Pasadena, MD visited DIS first time this year only to have mechanical woes and not run. Ted Taylor also had car troubles not to make the field.
Rob Ormsbee 119R also made the trip to DIS first time this season and finished 14th. Elliott wasn't as hooked up on Friday night but it was still a great performance.
Eric Reed was in the # 66 Mike Christopher's car, however I did not learn until later that it was him in the car. So I'll try to get the dirt, if he is returning in a late model or driving for Christopher or just a one time thing.

Richard White, Jr. had the pole and commanded the post. Some good racing with the top 10 and even better in top 5 drivers action. It was White's first win for 2006. Lap 6 White, Richie Walls, Ryan Walls, Jack Mullins, all come out of turn 4 looking for the first hole to groove. Ryan got tagged in the rear and has a flat tire, and then 2 cars tangled in turn 2 bringing out the caution.
The restart had White leads Richie, Walls (26W) and Joseph Tracy. Mullins stepped to 2nd and Mark Byram went to 3rd. 1/2 way had White, Byram, Richie, Mullins, and Tracy. The 3rd through 5th were aiming for that second place spot with side by side action in turn 4 laps 11 -13th with Byram, Richie, and & Trice. Two lap shoot out left when a yellow waved. Good show guys, White wins, Mullins, Trice, Richie, & Byram.
Joe Tracy has continued to improve each week. Tom Evans had some type of mechanical troubles tonight.

Sparky White 21.864 seconds and 82.327 MPH on lap 4
Hal Browning 21.925 seconds and 82.098 MPH on lap 6
Rookie Kevin Scott, Jr. started on the point and lead to turn 1 while 3-4 wide action developed behind him. Battling for 2nd were Kelly Putz, Joe Warren, Ross Robinson, and Hal Browning all the way to turn 3. One lap almost in as Putz comes out of turn 4 and a little bit out of shape as Robinson makes the turn and heads to front stretch, when Robinson got over the front wheel of Putz and Robinson hits wall hard, tearing his chances for any finish.
Half way Scott still leads to lap 10 working the inside groove, and a yellow was out for Manos. Restart Scott leads in to turn 1 & 2 on lap 13 and gets just a bit, out of shape coming out of 2 and Hal Browning captured the moment and slid right into that inside line to take first place.
Nice Run for rookie Scott, and fun to watch Hal working to sliver in for the win. Scott comes from go-kart racing this year. Good Clean racing!
New comer rookie Chris Baker returned to run in the old Jason Nibblett's car #88C but had mechanical failure not starting.
