Curt Hansen of Dike followed up his
victory Friday night at Columbus Junction with the feature victory here in the
wreck-marred windup.
Only 10 of the 19 cars that started
the feature were still around at the end. Steve Keppler spun out in the fourth turn
of the third lap and several cars smacked into him.
Going out of the race were Mel
Morris, Duane Steffe, Jim Strube and Ron Weedon - all among the top drivers
during the earlier racing. Keppeler remained in the race and wound up second to
Hansen.
Strube, a newcomer to the circuit
from Peoria , Ill. , set a track record in his first time
out in time trials. He recorded a 24.39 second clocking to break the old mark
of 24.40 by Darrell Dake.
Despite a brief shower the track
was in good shape, as eight drivers bettered 25 seconds in time trials.
Heat winners on the first night
were Morris, John Moss and Steffe and Keppler won the semi-main.
