Bushnell Geezer News day 3 - Blaine Young - 02-04-2017
2/4/2017
By all traditional standards Butch K. won the Geezer class. Unfortunately, the event operators gave the DNF participant motorcross points without finishing the first heat. Butch is such a great guy that he didn't object to this skullduggery. Bad luck Gary loaned his kart to a young man whose luck had been worse than Gary's so he didn't complete Geezer class. He claims that his killer B-open and a K299 powered dual will be at Barnesville.
The third heat produced the kind of attrition that I remember from the old days. The sidewinder 6.1 mac class started with 6 and ended with 3 running karts. The 6.1 rotary class started with 6 and ended up with 2 running karts.
Surprisingly, the dual rear karts started heat 3 with 4 running and all 4 finished the race. The C-open class acted like a missile launch with 5 in the first heat, 4 in the second heat, and 3 in the final heat, but all three actually finished. The winner (of all three heats with B-bombs) stopped about 10 feet past the finish line on the last lap. It sounded expensive.
