Results for Osoyoos weekend drag racing

The Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) held their second event of the 2011 racing season on Sunday. Forty-one racecars converged upon the Richter Pass Motorplex in Osoyoos to burn their tires, rev their engines and fight it out for first place.

Bragging rights now belong to the following winners:

Baillie Ericson of Osoyoos took first place in the Sportsman’s Bracket in her ’03 Infinity by knocking out Shane Harris of Osoyoos.

Ernie Bartelson from Oroville, WA drove his “Glory Daze” 1951 Chevrolet to victory over Osoyoos’ Neil Ericson for the Pro Bracket final.

David Lee Madsen of Summerland led the Bike/Sled group on his Arctic Cat snowmobile, with a win in the final over Steve Macor from Osoyoos.

Larry Jamieson from Grand Forks won the fastest reaction with a very nearly perfect time of .501 seconds. Only 1/1000 of a second off of the sought after .500 perfect light.
