Tim Buckwalter Wins first Career ATQMRA feature event at Mountain Speedway

It was just a matter of time before Young Tim Buckwalter won his first ATQMRA feature.  He was fast in each of his previous outings in the Colin Martin 36.  He won several heat races and ran at the front of the field in his earlier outings.  This was his night to grab the brass ring.  Buckwalter moved from his outside pole starting position to take the lead on the second lap.  He lead the rest of the way to win his first ATQMRA feature event in the Colin Martin Spitfire development car.  Buckwalter swept the heat and feature event for the evening.  Matt Janisch lead the first two circuits before surrendering the lead to Buckwalter who made an outside move to take the lead.  Don Adams came across the line in second followed by Chris Deritis with Robin Johnston fourth and Bob Watkins fifth.

Heat races were won by Buckwalter and Don Adams in the Team Risqué badger 96.  Bruno Loembruno looked to be on track to secure the heat race win but lost he lead to Adams with a lap to go.  In an unfortunate turn of events Loembruno spun and flipped his lightening fast badger 91A damaging the wing but returned to compete in the feature with the wing from the Team Risqué  66 Dart.
