The
ARCA OK Tire Sportsman Series heads to Thunder Mountain Raceway in
Williams Lake for race two next Saturday May 26. The three eighths egg
shaped oval always provides fans and racers with guaranteed excitement.
The track is one of the fastest short tracks in the west and with the
two distinctly different corners provides a challenge to racers. “It is
one of those tracks you have to be passively aggressive on” says one
seasoned racer. “You have to race the track and the other competitors.
One mistake and the track will beat you, the walls are tight and there
is little room for error.” The championship contenders have already
emerged. Two time ARCA champ Mark Berriau sits only four points out of
the top spot. Top three contenders from 2011 has young guns Ian Graham
and Ryley Seibert in the cat bird seat. Regular touring racers Trevor
Adelman, Logan Jewel, and Dave Olson stand a great chance of moving into
the top five. 2011 WCSS race winner Sarah Cornett-Ching needs a good
run to battle into the points challenge. The rookie battle heats up as
all three rookies plan to make the trip to the lake. Jeff Cameron, Cass
Walker and Barry Clayton are separated by only thirteen points. ARCA
welcomes all sportsman racers to come on out and enjoy the fun. See you
at the track.
