David Cooke started from the back of a 17-car field at Watkins Glen, but quickly made his way forward. Polesitter Breuning tried to give him a little run for his money, but he was just too fast and walked away with another great win. Duane Gibbs followed in 3rd position, with Bill Smithem and Mike Erter rounding out the top 5.

It was close all night between the top drivers, Breuning starting from pole alongside Cooke, but Smithem, Sprechini, Wright, Kiefer and others were all in the mix up front. The pitstops under green pulled the field apart a little, leaving Breuning and Cooke to battle for the win. A late race caution meant a one lap shootout for the prizes; With Breuning starting in the lead, Crooke got him out of turn one. Breuning didn’t have enough momentum out of two to get to his inside in three and had to settle for 2nd behind the new Retro Cart League Champ! Chris Augustine was 3rd only a few car lengths back, ahead of Wright and Sprechini.

David Cooke has secured the Season 11 championship, congratulations to him!

David Cooke started from pole position and pulled away instantly. On lap 3 he already clocked a lap faster than his pole time and was gone! George Sandman, who qualified on the front row, had Breuning behind him but the #61 driver dropped off little by little and. When Sandman made a mistake coming onto Thunder Alley, he managed to take 2nd, but then handed 2nd back to Sandman when he did the same thing on lap 30. It was Cooke, Sandman, Breuning at the end, with Mike Erter and Don Warren rounding out the top 5 in a 15-car field.

Starting from the pole, David Cooke had no competition. Breuning and Smithem swapped position on lap one twice, both fighting cold tires, but it was Breuning that took 2nd. He was no match for the leader and ended up the only driver that wasn’t put a lap down.

Don Warren was 3rd, Sprechini and Kiefer rounded out the top 5.

Cooke started from the pole, having demolished the field in qualifying by 1.5 seconds, with Bill Smithem at the helm of ‘the rest’!

Breuning took 2nd shortly after the start but also had nothing for Cooke, who ran away with the lead and never looked back. The race, lengthened to 30 laps, became a fuel battle for many, although ultimately it was flagged a lap early due to the time limit. Cooke, Breuning and Smithem were on the podium, with Don Warren and Charles Harris rounding out the top 5.
