Schoffen And Krueger Win Championships
Feature Win Number Seven For Schaal
By Dale R. Erdmann

Lake Geneva, WI. September 8th. The final weekly race program forever took place at Lake Geneva Raceway, Friday night. Before the show went on the drivers, race fans and officials stood silent in prayer for a one of their drivers. Curt Gnatzig of Hartford, the owner and driver of the number six legend race cars. Curt and his wife Michelle have a new baby, in their family, But there are some problems, that we hope our prayers will solve, with the help of God. Curt and Michelle, we hope everything will be fine.

There were championship races for two divisions tonight. The LGR late model crown went right down to the feature race before it was decided. Sonny Schoffen of McHenry, Illinois won his first late model championship and his second of his career. Schoffen also won the feature race for 30 laps, with a last lap pass at the wire from second time driver Michael Bilderback. In an on track interview, Schoffen praised Bilderback, thanked his crew, sponsors, car owners and fans for their support. Mark Ludtke another hometown driver won his third 20 lap feature race in the weapons championship race. 17 year old Ernie Schaal of Wauconda, IL. moved closer towards his first championship, as the  third generation driver still racing with a cast on his right arm, won his seventh 20 lap feature for the Perfection Auto Body, INEX legends class. The legends still have two more nights, Saturday September 23rd. and Friday September 29th. before it would be determined. Schaal and Bilderback are still in a battle for the crown. Schaal has a 130 point lead. Woodstock, IL. driver Matt Booker won his third 15 lap feature of the season, stopping fellow driver and points leader Steve Doherty from a clean sweep. 15 year old Alex Arelano from Frankfort, IL. won his third 15 lap feature for INEX bandolero feature of the season. The Luisa Pizzeria mini modifieds were to be off tonight, but seven showed up and the story was just like last week. Jerry Giuliano of Schaumburg, IL. took another clean sweep in the action. Giuliano took fast time, won the dash for 4 laps and then easily won the 14 lap feature. The rascal outlaw series was here and super late model driver, Rick Corso of McHenry, IL. won his first 20 lap feature event.

Next Friday night will be the tournament of destruction with an unlimited amount of trailer races, plus the first ever appearance of the fire breathing, car eating Broad Bob’s Transzilla. This thing will be making appearances all over Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois this week. There will be many other events for the whole family. The show begins at 7 pm.
