On Friday, the early arr ivals enjoyed warm (okay, hot ) weather and strong winds, but it was grea t for bench -racing. Roeste l and company put in for a change in the weather and got it - big-time. The clouds came , the tem pera ture dropped , and the weather was perfect for racing on Saturday and Sunday. The usual e xtra efforts of Tammy Sessions and her com mittee provide d raffle prizes enough for everyone to win something after the great dinner prov ided by Garry 's sister Pam and he r C 66 crew. No wo nder guys and gals are "anxious" to turn 40 so the y can participate in th is kind of weekend eve nt. The Ho rn Rapids t rack wa s long a nd had somet hing for everyone.

Wodtke was the o nly rider to win three classes. Two other riders duplicated the ir results from the prev ious round: Brett O hland do ubled up in L 12Scc A and 2S0cc A classes, he while Jesse Kangas was way out front in Supermini and 8Scc ( 12- 15) com petit io n. An eerily foggy start gave way to a mostly 40th Anniversary sunny afternoo n. The re we re a few damp spots on the trac k early on, but other than that there was no re al evidence of the nearly month-long de luge tha t Minnesota had bee n expe rie ncing.
