Rapid Results:Madera Speedway Gerhardt Classic Goes to Adamson

April 3, 2011 By Bobby G

By Bob Gangwer with reporting by Lance Jackson and Kyle Vanderpool

2010 SMRA Champion Lonnie Adamson continued his winning streak by picking up the shortened Gerhardt Classic supermodified feature at Madera Speedway.

Adamson checked out on lap 2 and his only challenge came in the form of Kenny White who was called to pilot the Jim Birges owned #32.

With just five supers in the pits the race was shortened to 25 laps and then checkered on lap 21 when White, who was back in a super for the first time in over a year, lost a coolant line.

Dan Vanderpool, 2010 360 Champion Kyle Vanderpool, and White out finish.

Earlier in the day after losing two drive lines, rookie Shane Vanderpool’s debut as a supermodified racer went from bad to worse when he blew up in the heat race after the drive mandrel for the belt driven oil pump came off the crank.

Watch for the official Madera Speedway press release coming soon.

Dear Bobby G. I am a member of the Bobby G. fanclub. I am so excited to see my picture - alongside my buddies Bart and Half-Mile Hemingway & yourself on the Front Page of your website. The fact of the matter is: I haven''t seen a Super Modified race since the fifties and I had a great time yesterday down in Toledo. You did a great job announcing. I am glad to have met you. You are an asset to the sport. Seeing those pictures this morning (Bruce told me about your website) brought back the excitement from yesterday. My ears are still ringing. We three old men have decided to make this an annual event! Chuck Clemens

Love the show, you all do an amazing job. Thanks, Kevin Timmins

Hi Bobby, Great interview with Mike Lichty....really got me pumped for the upcoming season. I saw my very first Supermodified Race when I was about 12 and have been addicted ever since! That was back in the 60's when the "Supers" exploded in the London, Ont. area at tracks like Delaware, Nilestown and later Flamboro. Great site! Many thanks, Mike Graham

Thanks for the great shows! Keep it up-that's "Wing Side Up" See you at the reunion! Joe Prevost

I thought the webcast was awesome. There were obviously some glitches but that didn’t bother me in the least. It was just great to be able to watch live west coast super racing! And now you are telling I won something, SWEET! ~ Clint Moulton

Great show first time Ive tuned in and I'm loving it. What did I win? :) ~TJ Woolsey

Thank You guys the show is awesome! ~ Ray Sand Jr.

I’ve been a race fan for 55years and this is my 1st year as a super fan and i have totally enjoyed it. The speed , no radios,no mirrors and no passing flag puts it all on the driver. I grew up going to Seekonk and last sat. was my 1st trip there in 25 years it’s gone from being a dump to a really nice track. Both super divisions put on a fantastic show hope they come back next year. Plattsburg,NY was awesome I was disappointed that Woody won until he pulled my # for the 50/50 drawing. That changed my mind in a hurry sure hope they go back there next year. I can’t make Thompson so I’m in countdown mode until next year. Oh ya love your show and listening to you at the tracks. ~ Charlie Williams

I appreciate your consideration and I was on this afternoon. I like what you do and i'm sure the racing guys all like it also. You are the only voice we have and hopefully our fans become aware of this because it's all so positive. Thanks again~Lou Cicconi SR.

We want to thank you very much for the much needed news about our favorite cars. Supermods are the best class of race cars. We''''ve loved them ever since Boyd Showers brought out the first off set car in the 70''''s at the San Jose Speedway. We were hooked ever since. We hope to see you again this race season and hope that our Jeff Russell gets back to good health soon, we miss him. Keep up the great work that you so Bobby!-Kathleen Smith

Thanks for helping to keep the torch lit, Bobby. Your involvement and love of the sport is the spirit needed to keep it growing. Denny from Garfield Heights, OH USA
