Rocky Mountain Legends find checkered flags on last road trip to the short tracks

Cars racing with the RMLRA ended the short track season as we call it on Friday and Saturday. Friday evening at Hwy 92 Raceway Park in Gering, Wayne Barlock who always runs strong on that track won the feature event. Eleven cars were able to make the trip to end the season at Gering. Taking into consideration that school is in progress we were very fortunate to have eleven cars show up to race. For those people who are involved with the race tracks in the scheduling of races it might be very considerate of them to not schedule friday night races with several drivers in school. It is something to think about since we do have several young drivers that make up our group of drivers. Craig Coughlin a long time competitor with the RMLRA may have made his last trip to Gering as he has indicated that this might be his last season of racing.

Cars were traveling on Saturday to Big Country Speedway and I-25 Speedway for the last race of the season at those tracks. It doesn’t happen often but two tracks scheduled on the same evening should not have happened. Both tracks may suffer from the two races scheduled on Saturday. Car counts have been a little low lately but, to those of you that have raced all season we thank you. We have lost several cars due to accidents on the track. I was unable to attend the races this weekend and am relying on conversations from drivers and information posted on Facebook. Please excuse all the information that I may have missed.

With only two races left in the season the points race is very close at the top. The top drivers have been eliminating their lowest point races ran earlier in the season. The computer is working overtime this weekend.


Wayne Barlock won the twenty-five lap feature friday evening. Darrell J. Stewart and Scotty Scott were second and third place finishers. DL Stewart and Corey Seip finished out the top five places. Adam Pechman lost and engine while running third in the feature.
