Dickman Sweeps Throwback Night, Booze, Warren Split Regular Races...

Way back in 1998 the original Redmen Raceway debuted, with real red paint and racers bumping and shoving their way around the track in crash-n-burn slot car racing.  Those memories were rekindled this past Wednesday with the debut of the "Rumble" track at Redmen Raceway.  In an effort to work out the kinks of the new track two traditional crack-the-whip style events were held on the portable track.

Proving that he hasn't forgotten how to race "elbows up" on the narrow AFX plastic track, Randy Dickman swept the two events on second ever portable layout at RR.  In race one (Modifieds) Dickman held off Lee Booze, with both trigger pullers pushing the limit for the win.  Dickman backed up the win with another this time holding off Christian Booze in the Sprint Car race.

Moving over to the more modern full sized Redmen Raceway dirt track with computer timing and scoring the outcomes were a little different.  John Warren walked the dog in the Sprint Car main taking a three lap victory over Christian Booze.  Bruce Minier rebounded after his first experience of crash-n-burn racing with a solid third place performance.  Justin Liskai, Lee Booze and Randy Dickman rounded out the field.

In the Modified Main nightcapper, Christian Booze got the win he'd been hunting for all evening, securing a two lap advantage over Warren.  Dickman, Lee Booze, Liskai and Minier finished up behind the young winner.

Redmen Raceway management solicited opinions from the racers afterward about the new venue with some ideas to improve the racing surface for future events.  Certainly, computer scoring is in the future, but ultimately the "Rumble" track will be transformed, with a smoother surface installed.  Is a "Chili Bowl" like venue in the works?  We will have to wait and see...
