LATEST WINNERS
The first half of the 2017 Midwest Super Comp Series came to an end with races at Byron and Cordova. The Saturday race at Byron was halted after qualifying due to rain. Sunday's race was contested over a 1/8 mile course due to wind conditions. The Cordova races were run under just about perfect racing weather conditions. The results are as follows.
Byron Saturday race found the #1 Qualifier being Pete Daubner. Byron's Sunday race was a Lake Villa, IL dominated affair. The winner was Jim Glosson beating Pat Lamont in the Final. Chad Lamont was the #1 Qualifier.
Onto Cordova where Chad Lamont was the victor over Larry Wasielewski in the final. Lacey Rosenberry was #1 Qualifier. Sunday's race saw Chris Gerakaris turn on the win light over Red Hot Chad Lamont. Mark Meier was the #1 Qualifier.

JENKINS CRUISES TO WIN AT RT. 66
The Finals at Rt. 66 turned out to be a battle of champions. 2016 Champ, Gary Jenkins used a 8.907 to take out former Midwest Super Comp Champ and #1 Qualifier, Pat Lamont. Delvan Shepard raced his way to the semi-finals.
A Shout-out to the crew and management of Rt. 66 for all their hard work in prepping the hard hooking race surface. Due to heavy rains in the week prior to race day, the track needed a lot of TLC to stop the weeping.
Our next race will be at Byron on June 17 & 18. Good Luck to all competing at the upcoming Divisional Races.
BE SAFE!!! HAVE FUN!!!
