Devil's Bowl Speedway

Results for June 17, 2001

WEST HAVEN, Vt. - Gene Munger will do about anything to win a race,

including borrow a car. Hitching a ride in the backup Dave Camara car,

Munger got to the front quickly and won Sunday night’s 30-lap 358 modified

feature at Devil’s Bowl Speedway.

Munger’s win capped a long night at the Bowl. The surrounding area had

received nearly four inches of rain in a deluge on Saturday, but the track

crew was at the Bowl early Sunday and worked the surface into superb

condition. Then, midway through the show, the lights went out, further

delaying the program. But when it was all over, Munger had his first win of

the season.

A longtime Camara crew member, Munger borrowed his boss’ backup car a

couple of weeks ago, when he lost the motor in his usual ride, the Mike

Richards-owned No. 75. The backup Camara Slate car obviously isn’t lacking

for power, as Munger ran a strong race and outran Ken Tremont Jr. to get the

victory.

Tremont waslooking for his second straight win, but had to settle for

second, a second-and-a-half behind the winner. Defending track champion Tim

Laduc finished third, with Vince Quenneville fourth and Jim Ryan fifth.

While one Camara car sat in victory lane, Dave Camara, the defending overall

CVRA champion, was back in the back, finishing 12th.

Carl Vladyka held off both Mike Haines and Pete Kimball to get his first

victory of the year in the pro-street stock division. Haines had the fastest

car on the track, turning the quickest lap of the feature on lap seven, but

it was Vladyka who came away with the win.

Jeff Washburn, a graduate of the cruiser division, recorded his first

career hobby stock win, beating Vince Santoro to the finish line by .45

seconds, and Dave Kennedy came away with the win in the cruiser division

feature.

Devil’s Bowl will be holding its annual Kids’ Night activities, which

include the popular kiddie rides, on Sunday night. Racing will begin at 7

p.m.
