Eve of
Devastation Definitely Motorized Mayhem!

June 30, 2007;
Marshfield, WI: - The Eve of Devastation sponsored by
Seubert Inc and WGLX 103.3FM, began with the first appearance of
the 2-Man Cruisers in 2007. With qualifying starting out the
night, Chuck Green Sr. and Chuck Green Jr. came out for their
time trial laps, only to lose a wheel in midst of lap two. They
pitted and returned for their final lap in time and stole the
fast time honors.
The X-Treme stunt performance by Cody Cavanaugh
of Neenah, WI, kicked off the start of the show. Cody got the
crowd into his tricks and the louder they cheered, the bigger
and better the trick. Cody started out with a shorter warm up
session, and then returned after the bus races for his second
set.
The following event was the 2-Man Cruiser race. Geno and Adam
Eckes started the race out strong, leading the first two laps.
They were no match however, to the fast timers of Green and
Green, who took the lead on lap three and dominated the race to
the checkered. The Eckes’ were able to maintain the second spot,
as John Kampert Sr and John Kampert Jr raced in third. That’s
how they would cross the finish line at the end of the 12 lap
contest, with Tyler Dominck and Aaron Goetz fourth and Tom
Walley and Dale Koplien fifth.
Next, the Freestyle Burn Out contest, where competitors are
allowed to burn for 30 seconds on the front stretch, but have to
continue to move during their show. The contest was won by TJ
Gorski of Mosinee.
The Bus Racers took charge of the speedway next. The 16 yr old
dirt racer, Brittany Olson started out the race with the lead.
By the start of lap two, Chad Krueger was leaning on her for the
lead. Olson pushed right back. As the two exited turn two, Olson
spun Krueger around, much to the crowd’s delight. Olson’s bus
then flew straight off of the turn and was wedged between the
speedway and the embankment. All the excitement brought out the
caution. Both Krueger and Olson’s machines were unable to
continue. John Strausser, who had been racing in third at the
stripe, but was challenging to take away the lead just before
the caution, now assumed the lead for the restart. Strausser
stayed to the bottom of the track, as Ryan Pribbernow raced on
the outside working for the lead. Pribbernow was pressuring
Strausser hard for the lead, but Strausser never gave an inch.
Strausser would win his first Bus Race, Pribbernow second and
Fran Esser third.
Cody Cavanaugh returned for his second set of stunts. This set
was the grand finale. Bigger, higher, more thrilling stunts
performed for the fans. Every trip up the ramp was a surprise as
no one knew what he would do next.
The first “Eve” event was the tire race, object is to remove
opponents tire while keeping your own. Once your tire is gone,
return to the pits. The winner of this race was Joe Sazama of
Eland.
