Twenty-four year old Luschia Bakker-Ayers out of Qualicum Beach managed to defeat 6 other beautiful contestants to win the 3^rd annual Bikini contest at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. #59 Ted Dimitrov also had a great win on the night; managing to outlast 7 other cars to win our last Boat race of the season.

 

The Roadrunners were up in car count on Saturday; 5 cars qualified with the best time going to #19 Tyrome Pollock who set a time of 20.575. #66 Nick Leavitt won the Dash, but was unable to catch Pollock in the 8 lap heat race, giving Pollock his first win at Saratoga Speedway. Pollock started 2^nd in the main event and used his advantage to take an early and he never looked back from there, easily wining the 20 lap feature. #11 Derrik Senft finished 2^nd, with 3^rd going to #25 Andrea Cannon.

The Crash to Pass cars made their 3^rd to last appearance of the season on Saturday. #72 Travis Stevenson set fast time in qualifying with a time of 19.091. #11 Dan Kemp won his first dash of the season. Stevenson dominated the field to take the win in the 10 lap heat. #01 Jeff May dominated the main event, but on the last lap, #89 Gregg Sagmoen spun him out on the backstretch and took the lead and held it from there. Stevenson would finish 2^nd, with 3^rd going to May.

#01 Kevin Lawrenuk once again set fast time in qualifying in the Hornet division, setting a time of 18.578. #28 Brianne Fenn won the C dash, #59 Ted Dimitrov won the B, and #08 Daryn Cahill won the A dash. Brianne continued her winning ways into the C heat, leading all but 2 laps. #14 Kyle Fallowfield won the B heat in a borrowed race car; and #03 Jennifer Lawrenuk held off the field to take the win in the A heat. 22 cars took the green flag for their 30 lap feature. #59 Ted Dimitrov held the early lead but lost it on lap 12 to #08 Daryn Cahill. He and his brother Daryl battled hard the rest of the way but Daryn managed to hold his brother off to take the win. Daryn ended up finishing 2^nd, with 3^rd going to #01 Kevin Lawrenuk.
