would take the third position away from Wild. The caution flag slowed
the action, but when racing resumed, it was Berna at the point, Wild second,
and Wade Schutt in third. Wild and Schutt went around Berna to take
first and second, but something would break on Schutt’s car bringing out the
caution, and the checkered due to the expired time limit. The win was

second spot. The caution flag slowed the action, but when the green fell
it was Belland holding onto the lead, Karcz second, and Jason Czarapata
third. Before the checkers fell, Czarapata grabbed the second spot away
from Karcz. The winner was Bruce Belland, second to Czarapata, and third
to Karcz.
The WISSOTA Street Stock Feature went green with John Fetzer grabbing the
lead, Gary Kasperek second and Junior Howard third. The caution flag
slowed the race early on, but when the green fell it was Kasperek jumping to
the lead, Jermey Wolfe second, and Fetzer third. Lee Christjohn made his
was to the top three with an outside pass on Fetzer, and Dan Wanta followed
taking over fourth. The top three was in sight for Wanta as he dug to
the inside of Christjohn for third. Wanta was not happy with third and
again dug to the inside to take over second from Wolfe. Wanta ran out of
time to catch the leader, but when the checkers flew it was Kasperek taking
the win, Wanta second, and Wolfe third.
