Crash Corner

Thourot Wins!

Lots of MVW and Toledo Saturn jerseys in the big race - with Thourot and Steve Clark leading early. That bad pavement of prior years was nicely repaired with fresh blacktop, which, unfortunately, was also slick in the heat of the day.

Dr. Clark, out front, slid out on that corner, losing lots of skin and horrifying his family who were posted at the site. That led to his dropping out early, leaving Thourot on his own.

Matt Thourot took first in the 3/4 race, and Dan Vandock second.
