June 16 - Hoosier Daddy Night

June 16, 2012 - Jerry Dineen broke a two year drought from victory lane on Saturday night at the ASA Member Shangri-La II Motorspeedway, narrowly defeating a hard charging Jim Lamoreaux in Late Model action. The Sportsman feature was a nail biter as the top four changed positions multiple times over the closing five laps, but Tony Hanbury was up to the challenge collecting his second win of the season. Lee Sharpsteen faced some very stout competition, but prevailed for his third win of the year in Street Stock action. Jeff Ameigh kept the car together and held off the challenge from brother Brandon for his third win in the Pudgies Pizza Four Cylinder Stocks.
A beautiful early summer night was enjoyed by the fans and competitors as Hoosier Tire East presented Hoosier Daddy Night on Fathers Day eve at Shangri-La II Motorspeedway. Heat racing gave everyone a glimpse of what was in store for the night as every heat was full of close racing. The only problem in the heats was in the Sportsman division when Zach Curren spun coming off of turn four and collected the outside wall with both ends of his ride. Curren came into the night just two points out of the lead. Corey Mosher was driving a car out of the Zacharias Racing shop, but when Curren's car was wrecked beyond repair at the track, Curren became the driver in the Zacharias car.
Jimmy Zacharias the Top Gun in Shangri-La II Shootout

June 2, 2012 - The guns were locked and loaded on Saturday night for the "Shootout", but a full moon in the sky reared its ugly side on a wild and crazy night at Shangri-la II Motor Speedway. Jimmy Zacharias (Sportsman Modified), Jeff Goodwin (Street Stock), Travis Fisher (Late Model) and Brandon Ameigh (4 Cyl) brought their big guns and celebrated victories. Many others left wondering what the heck had happened. Despite the damage to several cars, fans appreciated some really good side-by-side racing.
Jimmy Zacharias (Candor, NY) only led for a few feet in the 25-lap Sportsman Modified feature, but it was enough to snag his 2nd Sportsman Modified feature of the year. Tony Hanbury led the lion's share of the race; however, he received a severe penalty following a close loss. The race itself was slowed by 4 cautions, 2 of which left several cars battered and eliminated from the event. Just past the halfway point Dave Catalano spun in turn 4 but, in slowing down, heat winner Tyler Rypkema and Jody Buckley got together coming off turn 2 and both cars were damaged and done. When racing resumed Hanbury was able to hold off Zacharias in their drag race to turn 1. Three laps later Mikayla Rypkema got together with Paul Johnson on the front stretch. Both cars were damaged with a very upset Johnson getting the worst of the deal. Again Hanbury held off Zacharias on the restart, but the defending champ was relentless in his pursuit of the top spot. As they came off turn 4 on the final lap, Zacharias was on the outside and he edged Hanbury at the stripe. What happened next was a pile-up in turn 1 that sent John Wilber airborne and collected at least 3 other cars. Deemed retaliation by track officials, Hanbury was scored as the last car on the lead lap (11th). Wilber finished 2nd, followed by Jeff Frisbee, Zach Curren and Tom Catalano.
