 The "Full House" signs
needed to be displayed again tonight as the annual Butler
Auto Mart Fireworks Extravaganza drew an enormous crowd.
Live band "The Valves" kicked the eveing off as
the stadium became filled to capacity. It appeared that
several of the race classes were also full to capacity
especially when on occasion some of the cars never
completed the first lap before disaster struck (as
depicted by the "Stock Piling" image to the
right).  The contact classes turned up the heat
tonight with 27 Streetstocks and 25 Stockcars fronting
for their first races. Often the infield became littered
with damaged cars before the first lap had even been
completed. The fireworks display also ensured the 1000's
of younger fans went home with a night to remember. My
weekly DON Award ("Driver of the Night") was
made very difficult tonight with so much on track action
in all the classes. But a stand out not only after
tonights efforts but so far this season would have to be
17c Vaughan Fairburn. He has made the transition from A
Grade Saloons to Stockcars look easy and when the blow
torch is on him he just seems to come up with the right
reply so make sure you keep an eye on him next time the
Stockcars hit the track. Well Done Vaughan!Natasha Rodgers didn't have such a good time with the debut of her new modified with mechanical issues keeping her from completing a race but Glen Leech ensured the pace remained hot by putting in some blistering laps. Many fresh cars with new livery were on display and some were being used to their maximum so if this meeting is anything to go by then fans of Radio Sport Woodford Glen Speedway are definately in for a treat this season.
