Ransomville, NY – Friday, August 03, 2007 – Despite thunderstorms in the Niagara Frontier area-Ransomville Speedway was able to complete their scheduled racing program last Friday night. A total of ninety-nine cars filled the pit area.
George Suprick of Clarks Summit, Pa took top honors aboard the ASCS Patriot Sprint main event last Friday. Suprick led the field through the majority of the main event and collected his first win at Ransomville Speedway. The twenty-five lap main went caution free. A full run down can be found in this publication.
Don Spatorico notched win number five on the season and his fourth in a row aboard the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman division. One could say that Spatorico had a golden horseshoe riding with him as lady luck most certainly was shining on him as he repeatedly missed the mayhem on the track.  A total of three cautions slowed the main event-all of which happened in front of Spatorico.  Spatorico was able to dodge the spinning cars and go on to win the twenty-five lap main event. Steve Miller came home in second followed by Scott Just, Steve Schumacher, and John Panattoni.
Dave Conant took top honors last Friday night aboard the first Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstock main event. Conant took the lead away from Pat Dell in the early going and was never seriously challenged after that point. Conant became the fifteenth different winner in the entry level division. Nate Vetter, Dell, Roger Israel, and Wayne Close rounded out the top five.
Chris Burek of Ransomville, NY took top honors for the third time this season aboard the Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstocks. Burek took the lead away from Jaren Israel with two circuits remaining and went on to collect the win. Ryan Susice, Dan Baughman, Rick Widmer, and Boots Martin rounded out the top five.
Chris Lederhouse took top honors last Friday night aboard the Bobcat of Buffalo Firehall Enduro fifteen lap main. Representing the Ransomville Fire Hall-Lederhouse battled with Tim Durfy for the entire fifteen laps. Contact with just two laps to go left Lederhouse off the back stretch. Lederhouse was able to regain his momentum and cross the line in second. However a rough riding call on Durfy resulted in Lederhouse being awarded the win. Jake Wendt finished in second followed by Durfy, Jim Stone, and Rick Hess.
