Oct. 27 was a wild night at Citrus County Speedway! Our own Jerry "Flash" Conkle and Gary "Cyclone" Seyler lit up the night with an awesome display of driving prowess on the lightning-fast asphalt high banks at CCS, finishing second and third in the Speedway's marquee event... the 15-lap Hornet Division feature.

Our contingent of roughly 35 club members and friends of the drivers witnessed a thrilling race that saw more than the usual amount of passing and bump-and-grind action, with "Cyclone" Seyler executing an awesome set of moves on lap four to take command of the race, holding the lead for three laps before eventual winner Brittany Brown regained the point. "Flash" Conkle played a more conservative hand, holding back in third position while keeping a watchful eye on the two leaders, clearly anticipating an altercation that would give him an opening. After a dramatic series of mid-race laps, though, the pace settled down and "Flash" never got the opportunity he was looking for. At the checkers, it was young Brittany Brown taking the flag by 2.5 seconds over the hard-charging Seyler, with Conkle a respectable 10 seconds back.
