Race City Iron Man Classic Report
Race City - August 23, 2007
 Joe Delehay of Calgary cleaned the table last weekend at Race City, winning
the most recent West Coast Pro Modified stop and putting himself back in the
lead for the tour title. Delehay, who beat Dan Vogt of Regina in the final,
was aided by the early departure of Trevor Lowe of Agassiz, BC, who broke
the chassis on his Camaro during Saturday night qualifying. The West Coast
Pro Modified Association season has one race left, at Billings, MT in a
couple of weeks.
 Mark Campbell of Stoney Plain took the International Blown Alcohol
Association victory - his first since joining the series at the beginning of
this year. Campbell gained a starting line advantage over Jason Bussey of
Edson, who is also in his first full year on the circuit, and held on to win
by less than 4/100ths of a second. Bussey was able to pad his points lead
in the IBAA, which has two races left in its season.
 The winners of the Iron Man trophy, the most prestigious award of the
International Hot Rod Association were: Rich Chiasson of Edmonton in Box,
Andy Seabrook of Strathmore in No Box, Lyle Mowat of Langdon in Street ET
and Joel Bowen of Bragg Creek in Junior Dragster.
 Vern Mills debuted his outstanding 55 Chevy [Jerry Hauss Car] & was awarded
the event's Best Appearing & Best Engineered.
Next weekend is the ProTrucker Big Rig Weekend with the popular Big Rigs
closing out their season on Sunday afternoon.
