COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL May 24, 2017
3B
An incredible night of racing for
Gran Fondo hits Main St.
Armed Forces Night
72 cars entered the pits May
20th for what would be an
incredible night of racing for
Armed Forces Night. The sun
was shining bright and the driv-
ers were all hungry for a win,
making for some great battles
on the dirt!
The wingless sprint tour
made their fi rst appearance
of the year at Cottage Grove
Speedway. Rob Lindsay was
quick time of the night with
a 13.698. James Heating &
Air Conditioning Heat Races
were won by Lindsay and Kyle
Miller. Ricky Ashley and Tim
Alberding found themselves
on the front row of the Dot’s
Trophy Shop Dash and Ashley
took home the hardware. Mill-
er and Lindsay shared the front
row for the 30-lap main event,
Lindsay got the early lead and
held it for 8 laps before Miller
took over the top spot and
weaved in and out of lap traffi c
with ease until fi nally seeing
the checkers. Lindsay was 2nd,
Ashley 3rd, Alberding 4th and
Cooper Desbiens rounded out
the top 5.
Crockers Cars added money
to the Mohawk Metal IMCA
Modifi ed class and it brought
out a whopping 26 cars looking
for that extra cash! Craig
Hanson secured the fastest lap
of qualifying with a 14.926
earning a spot in the Dot’s
Trophy Dash along with Monte
Bischoff, Mark Wauge, and
Matthew Draeger. Draeger
would go on to win the dash.

4 James Heating & Air Condi-
tioning Heat Race wins went to
Eric Ashley, Curtis Towns, Jake
Mayden, and Grey Ferrando.
Bob Bloom and Bruce Ray
led the fi eld to the green. Ray
led the fi rst 13 laps until Jesse
Williamson could work his way
up from 10th and on lap 14 take
over the lead. There were side
by side battles throughout the
entire fi eld for all 25 laps but
when the checkered fl ag fl ew
it would be Williamson over
Ashley, Ray earning that extra
Crockers Cars bonus money.
Draeger and Towns fi nished out
the top 5.
The IMCA Sportmods
continued to be the class that
keeps growing and improv-
ing. Jorddo Braaten was quick
time of the night with a very
quick 15.409. Daniel Ray and
Mike Medel were victorious
in the James Heating & Air
Conditioning Heat Races and
the Dot’s Trophy Shop Dash
Trophy went home with Chris
Frisbie. Frisbie shared the front
row of the main event with Roy
Kirk Jr and Frisbie took the
lead when the green came out.
Frisbie continued to lead until
the fi rst caution of the race sent
him to the back of the fi eld for
the restart, that put Daniel Ray
in the top spot where he stayed
for the remainder of the race
ultimately being the fi rst repeat
winner of the year. Braaten
ended up 2nd followed by Bud-
dy McHargue, Shawn Hand,
and Medel.
The Quality RV Hornet race
was once again a great show
with 15 drivers fi ghting it out.
Joe Maricle was quick time of
the night and was joined in the
Dot’s Trophy Shop Dash by
Josh Corley, Rich Dickinson,
and Cole Trissell where Corley
would take home the trophy.
James Heating & Air Condi-
tioning Heat Races were won
by Trissell and Dickenson, the
dice roll was a 6 which would
put them both in row 3. Corley
and Mike Swaim started on row
1 and it would be all Corley for
the fi rst half of the race. KC
Scott and Burnie Bryant were
the only other ones to lead
laps in the 20-lap event. In the
end, it was Bryant over Scott,
Swaim, Bruce McMaster, and
Gavin Ropchan.

More than 100 bikers fl ocked to the streets
of Cottage Grove on Sunday, May 21 to take
part in the "mass start event" held each year.
This year's event was MC'ed by former
Tour de France rider Levi Leipheimer who
jumped off the sideline with the riders but
due to an injury, is pausing his professional
career. In 2009, Leipheimer started his own
Gran Fondo, which translates to "big ride" in
Italian, in California.
Before riders were asked to roll to the start
line just before 8 a.m., they were given a
strict warning: there is an injury every year.
There's a hairpin turn that, if a car is climb-
ing the turn at the same time, will kill you.
A point to the medic tent, an instruction to
have fun, and the riders were off.
Escorted a few miles from down by Cottage
Grove Police, the riders set off for the 177-
mile ride that would take approximately six
hours to fi nish. Riders who did not wish to
complete the entire course were given the
option of riding 71 miles and receiving a
new bib that read "Have a nice day."
With no spectator opportunities along the
route, a sizeable crowd for 8 a.m. on a Sun-
day turned out to cheer on riders on Main St.
where they started just short of city hall.
For more photos, please see The Sentinel's
Snapshot page.
Drain's standing earns them
playing time
North Douglas lost to Oakridge 9-4 in a game that would
determine championship play. However, due to their
standing, the team made it to the fi rst round and will
play Reedsport.
