Sly's Racin' Recap
Mother Nature washed out almost all of the racing action this past weekend, but two tracks were able to get in their programs.
On Saturday nite at the Minneapolis Raceway, lite sprinkles put a scare into the crowd just before the action started. But the green flag fell on the first heat just minutes after the advertised 7 pm start time. The IMCA Modified feature went down to the wire as two Belleville Motorsport machines excited the fans with a great battle. Wichita's Delbert "the Iceman" Smith held off chassis-maker Darrick Klima for the victory. Jarrod Johnston, returning after motor problems from the previous weekend, finished sixth in his BMS. Father, Kurt, recovered from an early race miscue to wind up seventh.
Local racers Justin Murdock & Michael Lauber were able to qualify for the IMCA Hobby Stock feature, while Brandon Belvill endured a rather rough nite of racing.
NEWS FLASH !!! TYLER FRYE PULLS OFF IMCA NORTHERN SPORTMOD WIN ! On Saturday night, Tyler worked his way into the second spot & began to pressure Kevin Schmidt of Fairbury, Ne. The pressure got to him as Schmidt drove his car too hard into turn one, got into the marbles and off track, and the FRYEMAN drove past to claim the lead & the victory. Jim Stolzenburg & Kurt Kalivoda ran into problems in the consi, concluding their nights.
In the IMCA Sport Compact class, high schooler Matthew Jermark picked up a top ten finish in his debut @ Minneapolis Raceway.
This Saturday, May 1st, five classes will be in action beginning @ 7 pm. Modifieds, sport mods, hobby stocks, & sport compacts, plus the MINNEAPOLIS MOD-LITE's.
The Junction Motor Speedway showed their mettle by waiting out a rain delay, working in the track, & having a fantastic evening in McCool Junction. Brandon Blochlinger led the local modified racers, with his second place finish. Brett Jackson & Brett Behrends also made it into the A-main.
Six divisions are on the schedule for this Saturday nite, including the SLMR Late Models. The racing will begin @ 7 pm @ JMS.
Beatrice Speedway, having been rained out twice already, has a planned week off this Friday. Look for the dirt to fly on May 7th @ the Gage County Fairgrounds in Beatrice.
the Jayhusker Racing Association held a Sunday afternoon playday @ the Jefferson County Fairground in Fairbury, Ne. They'll have another practice day on May 8th @ the Solomon Valley Raceway, before jump-starting their season on May 15th in Clay Center, Ks.

Sly's Racin' Recap
........from activity around the area over the April 16-17 weekend,
the only action on the track Friday occured out in western kansas @ the Rolling Plains Motor Speedway in Hays. It was a big nite for Belleville drivers, taking 2 of the 4 feature races. The IMCA Northern SportMod feature top honors went to Tyler Frye in his #55, while Darrick Klima put the Mike's Body Shop #2 in the IMCA MODIFIED victory lane.
The schedule @ the Beatrice Speedway was rearranged by mother nature, raining out the Friday nite show. They will attempt to hold the season opener this Friday, April 23rd, at the Gage County Fairgrounds in Beatrice.
The North Central Kansas racers had another good nite of results on Saturday. Concordia's Brandon Blochlinger tallied a runnerup finish in the NASCAR Modified series A-main at the Junction Motor Speedway. Brett jackson, of Concordia, finished 8th, with Webber's Brett Behrends next in line. The action heats up again, this Saturday at McCool Junction, Ne, with a full slate of racing.
Opening nite @ the Minneapolis Raceway found a trio of area racers gracing their O'Reilly's Auto Parts Victory Lane. Kurt Johnston carried the torch for the Johnston Racing Team of Concordia, rallying from his fifth row starting spot to claim the IMCA Modified feature. Kurt used the low groove to chase down 2-time Minneapolis Raceway champ Dave Hardesty in the final laps for the win. The IMCA Stock Car class produced a first-time winner as Morganville's Wylie Pumarlo topped a dramatic A-main. Pumarlo led the majority of the race from his pole position, dropped to second right before a caution period, and then bolted back to the front when the leader bobbled in turn two on the restart. Continuing his push for the IMCA Northern SportMod National title, Tyler Frye chalked up win #3 of the young season with his feature victory. Minneapolis Raceway will continue their 2010 season this Saturday with the debut of the IMCA Hobby Stocks & Sport Compacts.

Lady Buffs drop 2 to Russell
Comments from Coach Tom Williams
Game 1
Russell 3
RCHS 1
We played alright in game one but need to find a way to light a fire and get going when we need to. Darsha bechard pitched well again with 6 K and 2 BB. From the plate Brooke Melton hit well going 2 for 3 and Kora Bergstrom went 1 for 3. Hitting is contagious and we just didn’t get it started. We look for our top three hitters to get us going and their pitcher did a nice job keeping them in the dug out.
Game 2
Russell 12
RCHS 6
Erica Hadachek started on the mound for us and did a nice job. She is improving every outing and that is all we ask from her. Courtney kasl came in and pitched as well as she had, but Russell just kept hitting little dinks here and there that we just couldn’t get to. I was pleased with their efforts and they just have to realize sometimes you do everything right and it just doesn’t happen the way you had dreamed about it. From the plate Courtney Kasl and Miranda Cottenmyre hit 500 we just couldn’t string a lot of hits together. As I said earlier hitting is contagious and Russell found that out. Little dinks that just happen and in our case it really hurt us. No one really got a good bat on the ball just little base hits in bunchs can get you a lot of run.
Over All
Over All we played well just didn’t get our offense together. Our best defense to date but need to put a complete game together. We are playing tough teams early and we understand. We are competitive but we really need a victory or two to get us fired up. It will come in time with hard work and a little extra effort on the field. Both coaches believe in this young team and know that by the end of the year we are going to be a tough out for anyone. The future is look good for this team and we are excited for them.
Next games are
April 15th against Concordia- At Concordia- game time 4:30 pm
April 20th against Chapman- at Chapman- game time 4:30 pm
April 27th against Plainville-at Plainville- game time 3:00 pm
Sly's Racin' Recap
........from racing action on Saturday, April 10th........
A few local drivers made the trek west to the Elmwood Park Speedway in Norton, Ks. Concordia's Brandon Blochlinger led the first eight laps of the IMCA Mod feature, but admittedly let the presence of one David Murray, Jr lead him to overdrive his #9 into the first turn on lap nine. Blochlinger's modified made contact with the guardrail in turn two, causing a flat & bringing out the caution. Murray, who changed a motor after his heat race, came from the back of the 13-car feature to add to his IMCA all-time wins total. Joe Cleveland finished second, Rockin' Ronnie Wallace third, Corey Lagroon fourth, & Blochlinger rebounded for fifth. Brett Jackson of Concordia, was also in the field.
In the IMCA Sport Mod main, Deshler's Wade Wagenblast ran second to Brian Conness. Placing third and fourth were Beloit's Kaid Calhoon & Tyler Watts.
Belleville's Michael Lauber brought his hobby stock to Norton, but did not finish crack the top five.
.......@ Minneapolis Raceway, the playday was held with 100 cars taking turns on the re-configured oval. The Johnston Racing Team of Concordia, comprised of Kurt & Jarrod Johnston's modifieds, & the hobby stock of Brandon Belvill, were out to test. Justin Murdock, the operator of the Cloud County Transfer Station, makes his return to the sport in the #24M hobby stock. Other modifieds included Geoff Jermark and Larry Sutton of Beloit. In the sport mod division, locals participating included Tyler Sutton, Eric Ingram, Jason Nelssen, Jake Krone, & Brian Fink from Beloit, plus Matt Miller & Kurt Kalivoda of Concordia, Jim Stolzenburg of Clyde, & Belleville's Tyler Frye. Terry Franz, Scott Condray, & Dustin Newlin, all of Concordia, joined Morganville's Wylie Pumarlo in the stock car ranks. Lucas Louder of Concordia debuted a new #58L hobby Stock, Matthew Jermark of Beloit put the first laps on his new mosquito, and Travis & Trevor Smith's matching mod-lites were also in attendance.
The opening night of racing at Minneapolis Raceway is this Saturday, April 17th, with action beginning @ 7 pm. See Minneapolis Raceway.com for more information.
Fresh off of their own test & tunes, Beatrice Speedway & the Junction Motor Speedway are set to fire off their weekly schedules this weekend, too.

Beatrice Speedway's Spring Nationals.......

Belleville's Darrick Klima benefitted from the scramble, notching a fourth place finish, the Jet recovered for eighth, & Concordia's Brandon Blochlinger rounded out the top ten.
Belleville's Tyler Frye lead the IMCA Sport Mod feature under the white flag, but the defending national champion, Jesse Sobbing, got around Frye in the last corner to pick up the win. Tyler settled for the runner-up spot, and Washington's Greg Metz ran fifth in the feature.

Meanwhile back in Manhattan...
We've got more updates from former Pike Valley Panther Ian Peters on the KSU football team, as the team began spring practice March 31...
Spring practice officially began for us on Wednesday. We (coaches and players alike) have very high expectations heading into our Spring efforts. Going into our first practice, coach Snyder reminded us of how crucial our next few weeks of preperation were for the upcoming season. Setting the bar high through winter workouts and Spring ball really does set the stage for the upcoming year. In Snyder's view, which there really is no other view, our first practice was dramatically improved this year compared to a year ago. We have had three practices so far, each one highlighting something positive about our teams character. These areas include toughness, finishing, play execution, and great effort. We are off to a good start so far, and need to keep improving and building off each successful practice. Thank you for your time and God Bless.
