NIGHT TWO OF JIM RAPER MEMORIAL DIRT CUP
(Alger, WA) 6/15/12 by Kelly Hart

The second night at the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by Goodyear was Friday night June 15th at Skagit Speedway.

Two-time Dirt Cup Champion Shane Stewart set fast time at 11.228 seconds around the high banked 3/10th mile pacing the field and earning 200 points to add to his total.

The five heat race winners were Chad Hillier, Roger Crockett, Mitch Olson, Toni Lutar and Jesse Whitney.

Winning the C main was Daniel Anderson, with Mike Melwicks second and Clayton Sibley, Jeff Westergard and Kelleigh Johnson rounding out the top 5. The top 4 transferred to the B main with Melwicks unable to answer the call moving Johnson into the final starting spot for the B.

The B main winner was Trevor Turnbull, and the other six move ups to the A main behind him in order were Sam Hafertepe, Jr., Tim Kaeding, Marc Dupperon, Eric Fisher, Trey Starks and Scott Parker.

Twenty two cars took the green flag for the 30-lap feature with Toni Lutar leading the first lap when caution came out for the first of 4 yellow flags in the first 9 circuits. Lutar held the lead until the lap 9 restart when Travis Rilat flew around him on the outside and lead the tenth lap. Behind the leaders Hafertepe and Kaeding were slicing and dicing through traffic. Each passing point in the main event worth two points per position gained and both drivers starting deep in the field. Rilat would hold the point for the remainder of the next 20 laps but faced a stiff charge late in the race from Shane Stewart who closed to within a rear nerf a few times in heavy traffic. Mitch Olson had a strong race running third most of the evening and finishing third, with Peter Murphy the Friday night winner fourth and Kaeding fifth.

In the companion Hornet Nationals race, Freddie Vela and Rick Young won the heat races. In the 15-lap main event Young and Vela came from 17th and 18th starting on the field to battle for the lead late in the race with Cliff Ballenger in the mix as well. At the finish Vela, Young and Ballenger were all touching as they crossed the stripe for an exciting main finish.

Saturday night racing For the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup starts with the Scrambles after opening ceremonies at 7pm. The US Hornet Nationals will also conclude inside the Dirt Cup program.

I can't remeber how does the scramble work? Also isn't this an inversion race..

full inversion the first 2 nights, lined up by points on championship night, scramble cars are the top 6 in each main, race for starting postions

and the mains used to be D was 15 C was 20 B was 30 and A 40, now the B is only 12

rained out tonite racing at 1pm on sunday

I wouldn't call inverting the 1st 2 rows a "full" invert. A "full invert" is what they do @ Trophy Cup in Tulare.

all the mains on thursday and friday night are a full invert every car.. that is how the fast guys score so many points cause they start in the back and finish in the top and get all those passing points. yeah that is a full invert..

well then you certainly saw different line-ups then I did both nights. For example after nite one Lutar was 12th in points, won his heat race nite 2 and started on the pole with a 22 car field. How's that a "full Invert"?

then it got changed... cause it always has been a full invert.,. but your a couch promoter i forgot.. and for lutar. he don't deserve to run dirtcup...
