Now that I got the official cards in hand, I decided to have a race with the Legends of Iowa Late Model set. Steve Boley jumped out to the early lead Don Hoffman was moving up from his 4th starting spot and took the lead on lap 8. Todd Cooney started charging from his 5th starting spot to take the leave briefly before fading to 6th at the end. Hoffman took the lead back for a couple laps before Roger Dolan took control of the race and was never passed the rest of the way. Curt Hansen finished 2nd after starting 12th. Steve Boley fell to 3rd at the end with Hoffman behind him. Joe Kosiski finished 5th. The rest of the finishing order: 6. Cooney, 7th- Ken Walton, 8th - Curt Martin, 9th - Ed Sanger (recovered nicely from a bad qualifying effort and started 19th), 10th - Ray Guss, Jr., 11th - Ronnie Weedon, 12th - Jeff Aikey, 13th - Steve Kosiski, 14th - Denny Hovinga, 15th - Joel Rasmussen, 16th - Joe Merryfield, 17th - Johnny Babb, 18th - Darrell Dake, 19th - Bob Shryock, 20th - Verlin Eaker, 21st - Bob Hill, 22nd - Gary Crawford, 23rd - Darrel DeFrance, 24th - Red Droste, 25th - Carl VanderWal, 26th - Gary Webb.
This was an exhibition race and no points were awarded.

My second race with the Legends of Iowa Late Models set of the Heroes of Short Track Racing game was quite a race! Bob Shryock and Ray Guss, Jr. traded the lead for the first 5 laps. Darrell Dake moved from his 6th starting spot to take the lead on lap 6. Dake held the lead until lap 22, when Todd Cooney shocked everyone and took the lead after starting 17th. Cooney was able to hold off Dake for the rest of the race and collect the victory. The final rundown: 1) Todd Cooney, 2) Darrell Dake, 3) Ronnie Weedon, 4) Bob Shryock, 5) Ray Guss, Jr., 6) Johnny Babb, 7) Curt Hansen, 9) Ed Sanger, 9) Ken Walton, 10) Don Hoffman, 11) Steve Kosiski, 12) Joe Kosiski, 13) Joe Merryfield, 14) Denny Hovinga, 15) Bob Hill, 16) Red Droste, 17) Steve Boley, 18) Gary Crawford, 19) Gary Webb, 20) Roger Dolan, 21) Curt Martin, 22) Joel Rasmussen, 23) Verlin Eaker, 24) Jeff Aikey, 25) Darrel DeFerance, 26) Carl VanderWal.
This race was very encouraging with Cooney being able to come from 17th for the win. I didn't know how far back someone could start and still win.

Race #4 is in the books and Steve Boley picks up his first win of the season. Ed Sanger, the winner of the most recent race, started from the pole and everyone thought he would be the one to beat but he had to hang to for a top 10 as he finished 10th. Bob Hill led the race for a while and ended up 3rd. Steve Kosiski tried several times to find a way around Boley, but he could not get the job done as the track took on rubber and became a 1 1/2 groove track. The final results: 1. Steve Boley, 2. Steve Kosiski, 3. Bob Hill, 4. Verlin Eaker, 5. Denny Hovinga, 6. Gary Crawford, 7. Ray Guss, Jr, 8. Ronnie Weedon, 9. Joe Kosiski, 10. Ed Sanger, 11. Gary Webb, 12. Don Hoffman, 13. Johnny Babb, 14. Darrell Dake, 15. Roger Dolan, 16. Todd Cooney, 17. Curt Martin, 18. Ken Walton, 19. Red Droste, 20. Bob Shryock, 21. Joe Merryfield, 22. Jeff Aikey, 23. Curt Hansen, 24. Darrel DeFrance, 25. Carl VanderWal, 26. Joel Rasmussen

Race #5 gave us our first repeat winner. It's not surprising that Ed Sanger is the first driver to pick up his 2nd win. Ed started the race 2nd and took the lead from Steve Boley early in the race and other than a couple instances, led the rest of the race, at least officially. Boley and Joe Kosiski both tried to get the lead with slide jobs but both times Sanger was able to turn underneath them and take the lead back. The results are:
1.Ed Sanger, 2.Joe Kosiski, 3.Steve Boley, 4.Ray Guss, Jr, 5.Verlin Eaker, 6.Bob Shryock, 7.Red Droste, 8.Bob Hill, 9.Steve Kosiski, 10.Darrel DeFrance, 11.Jeff Aikey, 12.Roger Dolan, 13.Curt Martin, 14.Curt Hansen, 15.Denny Hovinga, 16.Gary Crawford, 17.Joe Merryfield, 18.Ken Walton, 19.Todd Cooney, 20.Darrell Dake, 21.Gary Webb, 22.Johnny Babb, 23.Ronnie Weedon, 24.Don Hoffman

Races # 7 & 8 in the Iowa All Star Late Model Series using the Legends of Iowa Late Model card set in the Heroes of Short Track Racing game, I decided to try something different today. I had a 25 lap race like all the other races have been. Then I inverted the whole field and had a 50 lap race. The results were a little surprising but, have an explanation. The guys that finished in the top 10 in the first race had trouble moving forward in the 2nd race. They were so busy racing with each other that they wasn't able to move up very much.
In the first race, Bob Shryock jumped out to the early lead. Darrell Dake and Shryock traded the lead a few times before Steve Kosiski moved into the picture and briefly took the lead. Shryock took it back and held it until the 20th circuit when Ed Sanger moved to the top spot and led the rest of the way for his series leading 3rd win of the season.
First race results:
1. Ed Sanger, 2. Bob Shryock, 3. Darrell Dake, 4. Steve Kosiski, 5. Ronnie Weedon, 6. Steve Boley, 7. Joe Kosiski, 8. Ray Guss, Jr, 9. Joe Merryfield, 10. Bob Hill, 11. Ken Walton, 12. Gary Crawford, 13. Curt Hansen, 14. Verlin Eaker, 15. Denny Hovinga, 16. Jeff Aikey, 17. Darrel DeFrance, 18. Todd Cooney, 19. Gary Webb, 20. Curt Martin, 21. Red Droste, 22. Roger Dolan, 23. Don Hoffman, 24. Johnny Babb
In the 2nd race, Johnny Babb led the first 10 laps before giving way to Don Hoffman. Hoffman led the next 28 laps before him and Curt Martin traded the lead a couple times before Martin took over and didn't look back. Todd Cooney moved from 7th to battle for the lead over the last 5 laps, but couldn't find a way past Martin who picked up his first series win.
2nd race results:
1. Curt Martin, 2. Todd Cooney, 3. Don Hoffman, 4. Ken Walton, 5. Roger Dolan, 6. Curt Hansen, 7. Johnny Babb, 8. Jeff Aikey, 9. Darrel DeFrance, 10. Verlin Eaker, 11. Joe Merryfield, 12. Denny Hovinga, 13. Joe Kosiski, 14. Red Droste, 15. Gary Crawford, 16. Ed Sanger, 17. Gary Webb, 18. Bob Hill, 19. Steve Boley, 20. Ray Guss, Jr, 21. Steve Kosiski, 22. Darrell Dake, 23. Ronnie Weedon, 24. Bob Shryock
With his win in the first race and moving the farthest forward of any of the guys that started at the back of the 2nd race, Ed Sanger built on his point lead.
The current point standings after 7 races:
1. Ed Sanger - 375, 2. Steve Kosiski - 342, 3. Ray Guss, Jr - 326, 4. Joe Kosiski - 318, 5. Steve Boley - 317, 6. Darrell Dake - 300, 7. Ken Walton - 284, 8. Bob Shryock - 272, 9. Curt Hansen - 270, 10. Ronnie Weedon - 268, 11. Bob Hill - 260, 12. Joe Merryfield - 258, 13. Gary Crawford - 256, 14. Don Hoffman - 248, 15. Verlin Eaker - 248, 16. Todd Cooney - 247, 17. Red Droste - 238, 18. Denny Hovinga - 236, 19. Johnny Babb - 222, 20. Roger Dolan - 212, 21. Curt Martin - 181, 22. Jeff Aikey - 176, 23. Darrel DeFrance - 160, 24. Gary Webb - 144
