Warren 2, Missler 1 on Opening Night!

Veteran H.O. racer John Warren leaned on decades of experience to outrun the competition on opening night at Redmen Raceway.  The ageless controller-holder grabbed both the Sprint and Modified mains to jump out to an early lead in the season-long points chase.  Ryan Missler, a perennial favorite at RR appropriately captured the Late Model feature.

For the 2019-2020 season, Redmen Raceway scheduled a slate of "regular shows" consisting of Tyco Sprint Car, Late Model and Modified events rotating between championship-points, laps-per-lane and time-per-lane features.  Each division will be contested in each scoring discipline twice during the season.  Special events will be held as well under various formats.

The Sprint Cars were first up on opening night running a 6 lane round-robin event with each heat awarding "passing points".  The overall winner was determined by points accumulated in the six heats.  When the dust settled, it went to a tie breaker (heats won) and John Warren won out over Ryan Missler as both acummulated 29 points.  Warren's two heat wins put him over the edge.  Rich Leisecki rounded out the podium, a good start for the sophomore driver.

Thanks to the Outlaws, we know how to get a car out of this predicament!

Late Models were up next and the cars, with no traction magnets, found the drivers searching for the right feel for the squirrelly machines.  After numerous cautions, Ryan Missler came away with the win swapping spots with John Warren.  Randy Dickman came home third.
