Missler, Booze Share Super Dirt Week Spotlight

Last Thursday featured the last appearance of Big Block Mods for fall portion of the season, on tap were three races for the Tyco Modifieds.

First up was a four lane race using championship passing points.  When the power turned off for the last time, Ryan Missler took the win with a 26 out of 32 possible points (note: no one has ever scored a perfect main event of 8 points per heat for every heat).  Lee Booze finished in the runner up spot with 24, and Justin Liskai scored 22 points for third.

15, Randy Dickman

A grand slam, all four cars wreck at once!


The Second Main of the night was certainly the most entertaining.  After 4 lanes of 20 laps per lane, Ryan Missler and Randy Dickman were judged to be in a dead heat, by virtue of them finishing in different segments.  After considerable deliberation it was realized that Redmen Raceway has no tie breaking procedure (ed. note: in 20 years of racing there's never been a tie? Really?).  It was decided that Missler and Dickman would race a 2 lane, 5 laps per lane runoff to determine the winner.  After the dust settled Ryan Missler edged Randy Dickman by about half a corner for the victory.  Lee Booze rounded out the podium.

Ryan Missler took home the hardware for the second time this season.

Kimi Raikkonen was not impressed with Missler's victory...


The final main of the evening was a 4 lane, 60 seconds per lane event.  It was going to take some extra effort to unseat Missler from the overall win on the evening, and after the time stopped Lee Booze picked up the win.  It wasn't enough however for the overall as Missler finished on the podium in third behind Randy Dickman to secure the hardware for the evening.

Here come the Beer Models (each lane a different color and different beer!)

Two out of Three Ain't Bad: Missler Takes Blaney Night

Defending Redmen Raceway champion Ryan Missler showed why he earned that title, picking up tow out of three Tyco Big Block Modified wins on Lou Blaney Memorial night. 

Sheffield Lake super star John Warren took the opening event scoring 30 points over five lanes.  Randy Dickman finished runner up with 29 passing points, with the outside blue lane doing in the Elmore racer.  Ryan Missler took the tie breaker over Lee Booze for third.

Driver-Points (Green, White, Orange, Yellow, Blue)
John Warren 30 (8, 6, 4, 8, 4)
Randy Dickman 29 (8, 4, 6, 8, 3)
Ryan Missler 24 (8, 4, 4, 6, 2)
Lee Booze 24 (8, 3, 4, 6, 3)
Justin Liskai 22 (6, 3, 2, 8, 3)
Mark Gierhart 18 (6, 3, 2, 4, 3)
Lily Missler 14 (2, 2, 2, 6, 2)



Missler came back in race two, a five lane/twenty lap event.  Missler logged 94 out of the possible 100 laps for a three lap victory over Mark Gierhart.  John Warren took third with 90 laps.

61-Lily Missler

The final race of the night featured a five lane/45 second per lane event, that became a scorer's nightmare.  Heat three of the event saw the timing equipment malfunction, forcing a rerun of that heat.  After the dust settled on the lengthy race, Ryan Missler once again came out on top with 77 laps run.  Justin Liskai legged out Randy Dickman for second by half a lap (but two behind the winner).

Racing returns on November 29 for another night of big block modified racing honoring "Super Dirt Week".  Doors open at 6:30pm, racing begins around 7pm.
