 Hard to believe that the 2011 season has reached the half-way point....but apparently it's true. So, that meant the always classic, always chaotic and often destiny changing event called the Times Argus Mid-Season Championships. Why is is so crazy? Well....for starters Double Points are awarded in all divisions in every race. Extra laps in every Feature Event. And a wake up call to everyone about the need to start putting together good results if they want to have a chance at the end of the season. This one did not disappoint, that's for sure!  After a crazy Feature Event, Scott Coburn snuck by Chris Pelkey for his first win of the season in the Tiger Sportsmen. Mike Billado finished third. I think it was the first podium for each of these guys this year....couldn't happen on a better night!  leader Chip Grenier wreck while trying to split two lapped cars. This led to an incident between Phil Scott and John Donahue when John got into the back of Scott and took them both out. Pembroke made it to the front and was followed across the line by Nick Sweet and Cody Blake. HUGE night as far as points go!  Jeffrey Martin picked up his second win of the year, while Ken Christman finished second. Bunker Hodgdon rounded out the podium with another solid run.  by beating Kevin Wheatley and Brock Parrott across the line. This division is becoming my least favorite based on the over aggressive driving of a couple of the drivers. I try to keep my opinions to myself but someone is going to get hurt if the foolishness keeps up!  CreativeOutbursts.com driver Troy Kingsbury was able to pull some strings and arrange for the Green Lantern to join the drivers!! Troy and the other VG Racing drivers handed out autographed t-shirts as well as Hero Cards!
