December 18-19 ORA Ice Ovals
2010 Rock Rapids, IA
The races in Rock Rapids IA started the year off on a very high note. This will leave the next venues with a challenge to top this event. The sponsoring group had the infrastructure in excellent shape. The weather was perfect for racing. The drivers were well prepared with very nice looking and competitive machines.
In the IfS SnoPro class the new AAEN team with drivers Devin Fackrell (Logan, Utah), Ken Kitzman (Otsego, Mn), Lon Ashton (Monticello, Mn) had new paint schemes which were very cool and their sleds ran well all day. Travis Hilmerson, (Little Falls, Mn) Dave Neuman, (Oak Grove, Mn) and Matt Goede (New Germany, Mn) ran strong scoring 1st place wins.
Super Mod Leaf spring classes were well represented with a new comer by the name of Bradee Miaskoch of Willow River, Mn placing first in many classes. Matt Goede (New Germany, Mn) had a good day along with Randy logelin, (Waconia, Mn) Mike Smith, (Wasilla, AK) Todd Schnetzer, (Hortonville, WI) Brandon Gentz (Iron Ridge, WI) and Jeff Lausten (Sebeka, Mn)
The Super Stock classes ran well putting on one heck of a show. In the fan classes it was a constant battle between Dave Dahl (Miltona, Mn) and Mike Pappenfus (Oseceola, WI) for top honors. Nathan Westlund (Strathcona, Mn), Josh Miller (Hutchinson, Mn) ran very strong in the Super Stock Liquid classes, but it was not enough to hold off the charge of Donny Fedie (Mondovi, WI). Donny also went on to win the Coveted Jim Steenhoven Memorial Cup race.
