Snow Didn’t Stop the Thunder Dome From Racing
By Jeremy Fox
Marshalltown, Iowa (February 23rd, 2013) – Earlier in the week the weather people were predicting heavy snow which led to many people questioning to go racing and that was still the case until early friday afternoon. The decision was made by head track prep, line-up guy and fairboard member Randy Nielsen and despite that they got it all cleared up outside enough to be able to race. At the same time, they also had to deal with mositure that finally came up on the race track because it had froze so they had to take care of that issue.
First feature of the day was the Jr 1 Animal and Jr 2 Animal feature racing together as there was only one entry in the Jr 1 Animal and two Jr 2 Animal. Mark Maas would lead 11 laps before pulling off just as after seeing the white flag that would hand the lead over to Michael Pfalzgraf. Pfalzgraf would go on to take the win in the Jr 2 Animal meanwhile Ethan Starrett would finish 2nd and take the win in the Jr 1 Animal. Maas would finish 3rd and finish 2nd in the Jr 2 Animal
In the Quad C Trophy Class there was only one entry so Justin Sutherlin would take home the win.
Jr 2 Medium feature would see Tyler Havens lead the entire 12 laps to take the win which would also complete the clean sweep on the day. Mark Maas would finish 2nd, Shawn Cooney was 3rd, Brock Badger was 4th and Thomas Egenberger was 5th.
Rookie Beginners again would see “Ty Man” Ty Solverson jump to the lead and cruise to the easy win. Keegan Thompson was 2nd and Izac Mallicoat would finish 3rd. Braden Wilden would run in a race by himself to get some more lap experience.
The Rookie Advanced class would see only 2 competitors and it would be Brady Kohrs, just days after his birthday and his sister’s birthday, grabbing the lead and not looking back in root to the win. Landon Duffy, fellow friend from Independence would finish 2nd.
Jr Quads feature would go to Jackson Misel from Des Moines with JP Strawn from Des Moines coming home 2nd but this race was really cool to see and the crowd and officials were all making some noise when this race winded down.
In the Jr 1 Amateur division it would again have its troubles getting going but when it did it was Keaton Woosley from Conrad grabbing the early lead before Walker Ashton from Beamon would grab the lead on lap 4. Woosley and Caleb Peterson would battle for 2nd and even bring the yellow out but it would be Ashton taking the win. Peterson would finish 2nd and Woosley was 3rd.
McKinzie Culbertson would grab 2 heat race wins so that means she would get to start on the pole and she would capitalize on that as she would lead the entire 12 lap Jr 1 Medium feature despite 3 yellows slowing the event down. Culbertson would take her first Jr 1 Medium win and completing the clean sweep, looks like dads work in the garage paid off. Nick Rose would finish 2nd, Logan Duffy was 3rd, Kadence Davenport was 4th and Blaine Webster was 5th.
After being one of the largest classes last week, this week the Stock Heavy would have only four entries signed in. Kody Havens would lead every lap in the feature to take the win and sole position of the points lead. Albert Wolfgram would get 2nd after Travis Hatch and Clair Messor would get into each other a couple of times. Hatch would get 3rd and Messor was 4th.
UnlimitedAll-Stars had only 1 entry on the day and that would be Scott Badker and he would run with the Stock Heavy class all day.
Quad A Feature would see David Petithory complete the sweep as he would get his 3rd wholeshot victory of the day. Blake Miller would finish a close 2nd, Vance Misel was 3rd, Doug Slyvester was 4th and George Hood was 5th.
Final feature of the day was the Mad Dogg Bikes and Pro Bikes. There was two Mad Dogg Bikes and one Pro Bike on the day. Clayton Webster would grab the win in the Pro Bike divison meanwhile his brother Brandon Webster would take the win in the Mad Dogg Bike division over Race Promoter Brian Kauffman.
The Thunder Dome has only two events left on the schedule and they are Saturday March 16th and Saturday March 23rd. Smokin’ Smoe Memorial is on March 23rd and following the races that day will be the Annual Banquet. Hot Laps at Noon and Racing to Follow and pit admission is $10.

Thunder Dome Return Back In Action
Marshalltown, Iowa (February 2nd, 2013) – After having 2 months off the Thunder Dome returned in action despite the temperatures being in the upper 20‘s and lower 30‘s as around 85 entries signed in too do battle for the day.
The racing action was some great racing all day long despite the track being slick and dry most of the day but with the cold temperatures no water could be added to the track and for a while this week the races were in limbo where or not they would be racing but the show went on as scheduled.
First feature of the day was ran during the heat races and that was the Box Stock class which had only 1 entry sign in and that was Austen Earley from Marshalltown. We Also had 1 Open 4 Cycle signed in too do battle but never made the call and that was Craig Havens.
After all the heats were finished the first feature to come out was the Jr 1 Animal feature and it Michael Bryant grabbing the lead but had several challenges from Larrissa Miller through out the race, Bryant held off Miller to take the win. Ethan Starrett was 3rd and Summer Anderson was 4th.
Kid Karts saw the “Toledo Terror” Kinzer Janennette lead all 8 laps to take the win over Keagan Thompson. Zachary McClain also signed in to do battle during the day but didn’t race the heats or feature.
In the Jr 2 Medium feature it was Brooke Havens taking the lead and not looking back. Havens brother Tyler Havens was 2nd, Mark Maas was 3rd, Brock Badger was 4th and Shawn Cooney was 5th.

The 2nd new division was up next and that was the Jr 1 Amateur division. Keaton Woosley and Walker Ashton would start on the front row, Woosley would grab the lead and hold off challenges from Blaine Webster to take the win. Webster settled for 2nd, Brayden Greubel was 3rd, Lainna Duncan was 4th and Brylee Egenberger was 5th.
Mad Dogg Bikes had only 1 official entry but Promoter Brian Kauffman would also ride his bike against Brandon Webster. Webster however would complete the sweep by taking the win.

The racing action was some great racing all day long despite the track being slick and dry most of the day but with the cold temperatures no water could be added to the track and for a while this week the races were in limbo where or not they would be racing but the show went on as scheduled.
First feature of the day was ran during the heat races and that was the Box Stock class which had only 1 entry sign in and that was Austen Earley from Marshalltown. We Also had 1 Open 4 Cycle signed in too do battle but never made the call and that was Craig Havens.
After all the heats were finished the first feature to come out was the Jr 1 Animal feature and it Michael Bryant grabbing the lead but had several challenges from Larrissa Miller through out the race, Bryant held off Miller to take the win. Ethan Starrett was 3rd and Summer Anderson was 4th.
Kid Karts saw the “Toledo Terror” Kinzer Janennette lead all 8 laps to take the win over Keagan Thompson. Zachary McClain also signed in to do battle during the day but didn’t race the heats or feature.
In the Jr 2 Medium feature it was Brooke Havens taking the lead and not looking back. Havens brother Tyler Havens was 2nd, Mark Maas was 3rd, Brock Badger was 4th and Shawn Cooney was 5th.
One of our new classes was up next and that was the Quad C Trophy Class. Daniel Hollingsworth would get the wholeshot win over Sean Essex, Doug Slyvester, Todd Cooney and Brandon Gillette.
Rookie Beginners would see “Ty Man” Ty Solverson lead the entire 8 lap feature. Riley Shepard would finish 2nd, Izac Mallicoat was 3rd, Keagan Thompson was 4th and Alyssa Anderson not able to make the call.
Up next was the Rookie Advance class and it would be the “Motown Nightmare” Connor Kriegel taking the early lead but after 3 or 4 laps it would be Kamden Criss from Oskaloosa taking the lead and not looking back. Kriegel would finish 2nd, Brady Kohrs was 3rd and Landon Duffy was 4th.
The 2nd new division was up next and that was the Jr 1 Amateur division. Keaton Woosley and Walker Ashton would start on the front row, Woosley would grab the lead and hold off challenges from Blaine Webster to take the win. Webster settled for 2nd, Brayden Greubel was 3rd, Lainna Duncan was 4th and Brylee Egenberger was 5th.
Mad Dogg Bikes had only 1 official entry but Promoter Brian Kauffman would also ride his bike against Brandon Webster. Webster however would complete the sweep by taking the win.
