Redline Raceway opened its gates for the first time for Friday night racing action on Friday night April 28th. The weather was rather cold but the fan attendance was great. The total car count was very good for the first night of racing action for 2006.

After the qualifying heats were completed the feature events followed and the very large crowd was treated to some very hard and very fast racing action all through the evening.

First to compete on opening night was the Modified division. The 9Cat Modified of Tony Harris from Painted Post, New York took the early lead and never looked back. Harris crossed the stripe first for his first feature win of the 2006 season, the 119 machine of Brian Malcolm finished second from Lake Ariel, Pa., and then the 55s of Shawn Reimert from Oley, Pa., took third.

Next up for their feature were the I.M.C.A. Modifieds. Arkport New York's Mike Smith crossed the finish line in his 96 first, followed by the 11k of Mark Griffin from Canton, Pa., and finishing third was the 18s of Scott Bennett from Waverly, NY.

The Street Stocks were up next, and though the field was unusually small the racing action was huge. The 15 of Eddie Sites from Monroeton, Pa., battled hard with Towanda's 83 Ed McKernan through the entire feature, when the the checkers flew it was Sites taking the victory followed by McKernan, and the 5 of Al Silvernail from Elmira, NY., took third.

The Pure Stocks took to the track next and saw the 72 of veteran Terry Potrzebowski from Elmira, NY., out run the rest of the field and convincingly took the victory. Finishing second was the 27r of Dave Roberts from Troy, Pa., and third was the 3 of Shannon Oswald from Mt. Lake, Pa.

The Mini Stocks ran last and the final laps were very exciting as Eric Ellsworth made a late race pass to take the win in his 14 from Troy, Pa. Young A.J. Potrzebowski took second from Elmira, NY., in his 72 machine and the 36x of Doug Colton finished third, from Columbia Cross Roads, Pa.

Redline will continue the racing action this Friday night May 5th. Gates open at 5 racing warm ups at 7 and heat racing action starting at 8 p.m. The management of Redline would like to thank the many many fans who braved the cold weather and all the race teams who participated on opening night . Thank You and hope to see everyone back this Friday evening. 570-673-3176 570-364-8384 www.redlineraceway.net.
