There is something about the atmosphere when racing on the super fast oval at Charlie's Garage. There is Thunder and Lightning about to happen on the race track. The always fun NASCAR Modified cars were the main attraction and qualifying was extremely tight.
Modified Qualifying
1. Chuck Hendricks 2.542
2. Jody Coleman 2.552
3. Larry Stoker 2.552
4. Terry Jensen 2.563
5. Randy Auwarter 2.566
6. Charlie Murray 2.657
7. Bill Feyh 2.689
8. Keith Auwarter 2.744
Only 2 turn marshals and a computer operator are needed for the oval so 8 racers can have 5 run the B Main and 2 of them can bump up to the A Main. The top 3 go straight to the A Main. Did you notice that only 24/1000 of a second separate the top 5 racers?
B Main action!
Randy led round 1 with Terry right behind on the same lap. Keith was 3rd, Charlie 4th, and Bill F 5th. After round 2 Randy had a 1 lap lead over Terry with Keith another 3 laps back, Bill F up to 4th, and Charlie 5th. Randy moved out to a 3 lap lead after 3 rounds while Keith moved to 2nd and Terry 3rd but on the same lap. At halfway Randy had a 2 lap lead over Keith with Terry another 2 laps back. Round 5 saw Keith overtake Randy for the lead with Terry now only a lap back of Randy. Remember that only 2 of these guys will transfer to the A Main. Round 6 was another turning point as Terry moved into 2nd with Randy dropping 5 laps back of him. Terry took the lead with just a few seconds remaining in the last round with Keith finishing 2nd.
B Main Result
1. Terry Jensen 359 laps to A Main
2. Keith Awuarter 359 laps to A Main
3. Randy Auwarter 354 laps
4. Bill Feyh 347 laps (Personal best)

This was some of the closest racing we have seen on the oval. Terry took the lead after 1 round with Chuck 2nd on the same lap while Jody, Keith, and Larry were all just 1 lap back. The racing remained close through round 3 when Chuck took over the lead with Terry 2nd, Jody 3rd, Keith 4th, and Larry 5th all within a few laps. At halfway Jody moved to 2nd dropping Terry to 3rd while Larry moved to 4th and Keith dropped to 5th all within 2 laps of the lead. After 5 rounds 1st and 2nd remained the same with Keith in 3rd now beginning to close on the leaders. Larry was 4th and Terry dropped all the way to 5th. In round 6 Jody took the lead by a lap over Chuck with Keith 3rd only 1 more lap back and Larry 4th on the same lap. Jody was still in 1st after round 7 but Keith was on the same lap and closing. Chuck dropped to 3rd 2 laps back and Larry was just another lap farther back in 4th. At the finish Keith took the win with Chuck 2nd, Jody 3rd, Larry 4th on the same lap, and Terry 5th.
