 Chub unloaded old faithful, the oldest car in the stable for the Thunder Valley tonight and qualified it in 13^th position out of 38 drivers entered at the semi-banked 1/2-mile track. That put Chub in the 1^st heat race in which the top 4 advance to the feature and he finished 3^rd. Chub knew right away he was going to have his hands full as Thunder Valley is very hard to pass on and with him starting 13^th for the 50 lap main event he just had to make the best of what he was dealt. At the half way point Chub was already in the top 10 running in the 9^th position when the checkered flag flew on the 50^th lap Chub brought the Corry Rubber, Corry Laser, Nystrom’s Auto Sales, Draime Racing Engines, Rocket Chassis, Pierotti Motorsports, Farr MotorSports, Chevrolet Monte Carlo home in 8^th place. The top 10 for tonight were 1. Tom Myers 2. Gary Stuhler 3. Scott Rhodes 4. Scott Haus 5. Jeff Miller 6. Mike Balzano 7. Todd Andrews 8. Chub Frank 9. Bob Salathe 10. Mike Shoemaker.
