BobRiley Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 In his first full season behind the wheel, Trey Mitchell, 16 yr old from Wimberley, had the pole and looked like the dude to beat. A rookie mistake on lap 6 allowed Mel Krauss to take the lead and hold on for the first win of the season. Young gun, Kyle Sirrizotti, fighting mechanical problems held on for 2nd place and grandpa, Joe Jones came on strong for 3rd just beating 4th Trey Mitchell. James Lee, Michael Rhoads, and John Riley kept the field mixed up with some hard racing. With only 1 caution, the field constantly traded places producing an exciting racing. Congradulations to Mel Krauss, this man goes out of his way to promote oval track racing in our area, and it doesn't matter which class you prefer, he promotes them all. Grandpa Krauss did a kick-tail job raising Mel and Milton; my prayers for a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Thanks for them kind words Bob & all. Trey, Kyle, and John are excellent young men, and all are backed by wonderful families that are great for the sport we all love. I hope to be a positive influence on their lives as they certainly are on mine and my family. It sure is fun to race with these "Young Guns". After they whooped up on me last year it's about time I got some back!. Your right I enjoy all classes of racing! Heck, night before last Kasey, my 3yr old, and I raced his hot wheels around the bed for about an hour or so! Just can't get enough! You young guys looking to get into racing just need to get into it some way! It doesn't matter which track or class or touring series, JUST DO IT! At my age these checkers are getting harder and harder to come by! Thanks again, Mel P.S. MaryAnn, your not the only one that "LUVS RACING" count me in that fraternity too!
