Destroyed boats, a season high 12 Crash to Pass cars, 14 races with 12 different winners, and a big crowd were the highlights from the Saturday night racing program at Saratoga Speedway.

The season’s second and last boat race was the big draw. The crowd wasn’t disappointed as a full field of crash cars and a few Mad Max cars joined in the fun. It resulted in chunks of boats all over the Black Creek oval. In the end, Mad Max driver Toryn Davies came away with the win.

Returning to the Crash to Pass class after a couple seasons was The General Jeff May. The Modifide driver looked like he hadn’t missed a beat as he went out and won the main event after Troy Ordano won the heat race.

In Road Runner racing, Austin Hack put a season of motor issues behind him as he took both the main event and heat race wins. In Mad Max racing, point leader Dannielle Dunn won the heat and Luke Mainwaring won the main event.

The Marine Harvest sponsored night of racing also featured a full field of Hornet cars. The A class saw Clancey Beamish come away with wins in the heat race and main event with point leader Raymond Foriet winning the other heat.

The B class produced five different winners with main event wins going to Taylor Pheaton and Chevy Carlson. Heat race wins went to Nigel Neufeld, Sidney Lewis and Skyler Carlson.

This Saturday night, the Wilroc Sprint cars pay their last visit of the season. They will be joined by the Modifides for their second last race and the Bomber cars.
