Saturday Nights continue to be the night of where i might end up for racing and well after a last minute decision, i decided to make the trip north to the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City of their weekly show. Great night for racing with a few exciting finishes on the night.
First feature of the night was the IMCA Sport Compacts 10 lap event. Nick Hogan grabbed the early lead but John Gill made the top side work and grabbed the lead away just before a caution on lap four. The caution came out on lap four when James Peterson spun made contact with the wall in turn two. Gill and Hogan battled it out for the final six laps but it was Gill taking his fifth win in a row. Hogan finished second, Jacob Reiter was third, Ryan Boland was fourth and Kalan Guthrie was fifth.
