The North East Enduro Tour Series (NEETS) took to Grandview Speedway for the running of the popular “Femduro” enduro events last Sunday. Stephanie Kramer pulled out the ladies race win in the 50-lap event, with Steve Todorow and Shawn Naftzinger grabbing the wins for the guys.
An exciting 50 lap Ladies Race started the show with Tracy Berger-Carmen on the pole position. Berger-Carmen led the first five laps until Stephanie Kramer took over as both drivers got into lap traffic. However, Berger-Carmen stayed a close second and got by Kramer on lap 26. With third place runner Linsey Rummel not far behind, Kramer stayed glued to Berger-Carmen's bumper and regained the top spot once again by lap 31. Carmen tried to stay within striking distance, but started to fade as Kramer took the checkers over Berger-Carmen, Linsey Rummel, Christine Detweiler and Gayle Curran.
First time enduro driver Rob Ramsey sat on the pole and led 29 fellow competitors to the drop of the green flag in the Four Cylinder enduro. As the drivers diced it out on the first lap, it was Brian Yelk out in front followed by Steve Wilson.
Disaster struck on lap 34 as Yelk blew a tire and had to make a run into the pits, which made Wilson the new leader. However, it was short lived as Lance Hoch who had worked his way through the pack passed Wilson on lap 37 with Steve Todorow and Jeff Walls battling it out for third.
Hoch began to slow and Todorow, who was running second, began to move in and pass Hoch for the lead. A terrific battle then ensued between Wilson and Walls for the second spot.
The only red flag of the race came on lap 84 as Travis Schwenk's mount began to smoke and small flames could be seen as it rested next to the front stretch wall. The fire was quickly put out and racing resumed with Todorow leading the remaining laps to the finish over Wilson, Walls, Mike Wahl and Phil Levering.
Pole-Sitter Ray Cinqmars got his first lesson in NEETS enduro racing as he steadily led the pack as the race began in the 6/8-Cylinder enduro. Richard Petey took an early lead as the rest of the drivers tried to gain their bearings on the slick surface.
Richie Smith put pressure on Petey and took the lead by lap 5, but by lap 17, Smith spun out giving the lead to Vern McLaughlin, who held steady until being spun on lap 24. That handed the lead to Mike Hires.
A red flag was thrown on lap 48 as Frank De'Entremont landed on top of the inner guardrail after being spun and suffered a fuel leak. After De'Entremont's car was removed from the guardrail, Hires remained leader with Petey not far behind in second.
Lap 51 found Petey losing a tire and had to head into the pits, giving Shawn Naftzinger the second place position. However, Hires suffered a flat tire shortly after, which gave Naftzinger the lead. Tim Pauch ran in second place.
After a quick red flag to remove heavy debris from the track, an exciting battle began between Naftzinger and Pauch raged on and the two swapped the top spot while the clock ticked down. When the checkers flew it was to be Naftzinger at the point followed closely by Pauch, Steve Haegele, Chuck Detweiler and Duane Eidem.
