The WoO Late Models Invade River Cities Speedway

Tuesday night the WoO Late Models invaded River Cities Speedway to race for 10,000.00. Although the sky appeared as if it was going to open up and pour cats and dogs at any moment, mother nature answered the Goon's prayers and held back the rain and WoO Late Models rookie of the year candidate Tim Fuller won the 10,000.00 check. Fuller also picked up 250.00 in rookie bonus money.



Here is a picture from the east bleachers during the heats of the WoO Late Models special at River Cities speedway on 6-12-2007. The track at River Cities speedway was really fast. The weather as of late probably attributed to the great racey surface. During last season race the track was really dry and didn't facilitate passing and there was some obvious grumbling from the drivers. The lack of passing meant and the race winner basically lead from start of the race till the drop of the checkered flag. This season there was lots of passing and great racing action.

Here is a look into WoO LM's rookie Brian Shirley's hauler. This is what a typical hauler from the WoO Late Models series looks like. The big boys travel over 100 nights a year to race in speedways all over the USA. Most of the Travelers on the WoO LM's appeared to have two full cars sitting in the top of their haulers.
