Blackwell Parks it on the Slab at T-Bird
Clonch wins another Modifiedfeature at RPM; Troutman
grabs first win of the year
By Greg Rhea
Racing action resumed once again last weekend at RPM
Speedway on Friday night and at Thunderbird Speedway on Sat-
urday night. Last weekends racing action was once again exciting
and it also featured a few new faces in victory lane for the first time
this year.
Action began Friday night at RPM. The Bombers were the first
class of cars to take to the track for their feature event. This was
a big night for the Bomber class because the winner of the feature
event would receive an extra $300.00. Taking home the win in this
one and the extra cash was the #57c car of Gary O’Connell. Finish-
ing in the 2nd spot was the #21j of Kevin Rogers followed by the
#05 of Brian McHenry in 3rd.
Following the bomber feature was the Limited Modified fea-
ture. This was a very competitive race for the win between the #1
of Jason Troutman and the #177 of Chad Ross. Troutman was able
to hold off the #177 of Ross and put his Town East Ford sponsored
#1 in victory lane for the first time this year. Ross would settle for
the 2nd spot while the #3 car of Eddie Prat or finished 3rd.
The Winged 600 Sprints took to the track next. This race here
was the best race of the night. The #88 car of Dylan Guthrie would
lead the race in the opening laps. Dalton Stevens would then take
the lead from Guthrie in his #99 machine. Stevens looked like he
might be on his way to taking the feature win but the #15 of Coy
Jordan would soon begin to apply heavy pressure. Jordan would
make a nice move coming out of turn 4 as he came from the top
and dived to the bottom to take the win. Finishing in the 2nd spot
was the #99 of Stevens followed by the #88 of Dylan Guthrie in 3rd.
Next to take to the track was the Street Stock feature. This
race was another great two car race for the win. The #57c of James
Cruise got out front early on. Cruise would lead but coming on
strong was the #25c of Jason Gore. Cruise was running the top of
the race track and getting good momentum coming out of the turns.
Gore’s machine was really fast but he couldn’t get the good enough
grip on the bottom of the track to equal the good run Cruise was
getting on the outside. Taking the win in this one for his first Street
Stock feature win of the year was the #57c of James Cruise. Gore
would drive a clean race and finish 2nd with the SNL Automotive
sponsored #2 of Steve Byram continued his streak of good finishes
as he came in 3rd.
The final race of the evening was the Modified feature. Tim
Clonch made his return to RPM Speedway and he picked right up
from where he left off last time. Clonch once again was able to
dominate the Modified feature as he took the checkered flag. Fin-
ishing in the 2nd spot for the second time on the night was the #021
of Jason Gore followed by the #9 of Shane Killingsworth in 3rd.
Action shifted to Thunderbird Speedway on Saturday as all six
regular classes of cars were back in action. The first feature event
to roll out to the speedway was the Mini Stock feature. The #98 of
Will Garrison grabbed the lead and would lead a lot of laps in this
one. The #07 car of Bobby Ortega would get up to Garrison’s back
bumper and eventually make the pass. Ortega would go on to come
across the line first while the #98 of Garrison finished 2nd. Round-
ing out the top 3 was the #8 car of Jon White Jr.
The Southern Modified feature would follow the Mini Stocks.
Dennis Zimmerman would take an early lead in this one as he had
his car working well on the high side. The #17 car of Tommy Davis
Jr. had a very fast machine on this night. Davis Jr. would eventu-
ally catch up to Zimmerman and pass him on the bottom. Davis Jr.
would begin to pull away from the pack but cautions would bring
the field right back up to Davis Jr.’s back bumper. Davis Jr. was able
to get great restarts and would not give up the lead as he put his #17
machine in victory lane. Finishing in the 2nd spot was the #71 of
Zimmerman while the #28 of Matt Deaver rounded out the top 3.
Next out were the Junior Mini Stocks. The #93 of Courtney
Miller would take the lead from the get go and never look back.
Miller would easily take the feature win followed by the #53 of
Dustin Fields in 2nd. Chance Morris rounded out the top 3 in his
#94.
The next race was the Street Stock feature. This race had to
feel like deja vu for the #25c of Jason Gore. For the 2nd straight
night Gore found himself with a very fast race car but once again
running in the 2nd spot, this time to the Parts Plus #98 car of Chris
Davis. Davis had his car on a rail in this one as he was able to beat
Gore to the line for the feature win. Gore would settle for 2nd place
for the 2nd straight night in the #25c while the #08 of Clint Frideley
finished in 3rd.
The Bomber class was the next to last feature on the night.
The #103 car of Leo Howell took over the lead early on and would
not let it go. Howell looked as good as he has all year as he put the
#103 in victory lane. Finishing in the 2nd spot was the #42 of Sonny
Glass while the #74 car of Johnny Rivers finished in 3rd.
The final race of the weekend was the Limited Modified fea-
ture. This race was dominated by one driver, the #45 of Thomas
Blackwell. Blackwell had the #45 machine blazing around the
track as he checked out from the field and parked it on the slab in
victory lane. Finishing in the 2nd spot was the #98 car of Chris
Davis while the #103 of J.C. Howell rounded out the top 3.
So that puts the wraps on another exciting week of racing ac-
tion. Two dates you need to mark on you’re calendar is Thursday
night, July 2nd, and Friday night, July 3rd. RPM Speedway will be
holding their big 4th of July show on those two nights with a fire-
work show planned for that Friday night. We will cya at the races.

At one time there were three dairies literally in downtown Sea-
goville. The Bennett’s was on Fly Street. The Thedford Dairy was on
Water Street. The Jersey herd owned by Nancy Cobb was on Cypress
and Malloy Bridge Road. This herd was one of the largest in the
state and had many high caliber cows under the supervision of Ross
Durham. Ross had some top cows of his own. The Grand Champion
cow at the state fair had eluded him coming in reserve champion two
years in a row. He had offered this cow to FFA members in Seagov-
ille and Garland. Seagoville didn’t have the money. Garland had the
money by good ‘ole Ross pointed out all her faults. He traded her to
a professional showman from Missouri getting in return a cow, two
worthless bull calves and a little cash. The showman won the next 5
state fairs and sold her in the top Jersey sale in the country in Colum-
bus, Ohio for $15,000.00.
Mr. C.L. Wilson and Mr. Miller had dairies on Hanes Road.
Both were very good dairymen. Jerry Miller operated the dairy for a
time after his father and mother retired.
C.L. Wilson operated a dairy on the Carpenter Ranch. There
was a type of partnership. It has been said the C.L. Wilson was the
only person that ever came out of John W. Carpenter on a trade or
settlement.
Tag Miller also operated a dairy for years in the Lawson area.
The father of Granville Rives had a dairy on Bois D’ Arc road
across from the Landess home. Buddy Jenkins and his dad operated
the dairy in the 1950’s.

ment hot spot as Americans
seek affordable ways to spend
time with family and friends.
But your outdoor party can be
spoiled quickly if unwelcome
insects show up.
More than half of backyard
revelers have moved a party in-
doors due to mosquitoes, and
46 percent have left a party to
escape the pests, according to a
new survey from the makers of
OFF! PowerPad Lamp and Lan-
tern.
Create an unforgettable
party within a tight budget
with these five tips from Nata-
lie Ermann Russell, author of
“The Outdoor Entertaining Idea
Book:”
1. Keep decor simple: Save
money on decorations by mak-
ing the most of the greenery
and foliage that surround you.
Simple potted plants as center
pieces create an elegant setting
at little cost, and they’ll last
much longer than cut flowers.
2. Set a realistic menu: Give
yourself a break by creating a
menu that is realistic for your
budget and your schedule. To get
the best prices, focus on foods
that are in season and check out
your local farmers’ market for
deals. Using produce from the
farmers’ market also makes for
less work — the flavors of these
foods are so intense and beau-
tiful, they’re at their best when
prepared simply. For example, a
pasta primavera with blanched
farmers’ market veggies can be
3. Invite guests to pitch in:
The beloved potluck is making
a comeback. Your friends and
family will enjoy contributing
to the event, but be sure to be
specific about what you need so
that you end up with a good va-
riety of foods. And establishing
a theme can make it even more
fun. For instance, call it the
Fresh from the Farmers’ Mar-
ket Potluck, where each person
brings a dish to highlight a dif-
ferent fruit or vegetable that’s in
season.
4. Keep away mosquitoes
for less: OFF! PowerPad Lamp
can repel mosquitoes from an
area of up to 15 by 15 feet -- the
size of an entire patio -- for less
than $10. It would take 15 cit-
ronella candles at a cost of up
to $60 to protect this same area.
5. Plan right: The fear of
running out of food often drives
hosts to prepare twice as much
food as they need — at twice the
cost. Know your head count be-
forehand and shop accordingly.
A general rule of thumb is to
plan for six to eight ounces per
person of the main protein (e.g.,
steak, fish, chicken) and one to
two ounces of a side dish like
rice or pasta.
Use these simple and af-
fordable tips to entice your
guests to linger at your next
outdoor party. For more infor-
mation about how to combat
mosquitoes, visit www.offpro-
tects.com.
