W yon would think dial the t

butnotso at Tri -County Bace- I
way. It ifftari just about to <
be getting underway. Forty I
eight cara showed up for h
time trtala to cotnpetc in four i
eventa. An overflow crowd waa t
on hand to see U Charles I
Barren could dominate the i
feature race again. For the i
paat throe weeks, Barrett has I
won the feature race. The
only man to do so at Tri- j
County Raceway this year.
Bar ran set a new qualifying
record and gained the coveted
Inside pole position. Driving
car # 11 and very popular
with the race fan a, Barren
turned the 1/4 mile oval In
14.6 seconds thereby being the
first driver to turn It at 60
miles per hour or better. 14.5
seconds is an average of 62
miles per hour. Charles Pad
gett from Marietta, Ga. was
making his first visit to Tri
County and his time was 14.8
which is not bad for the first
time on the banked clay track.
14.8 was good enough for the
outalde pole position. Word
had got around that Padgett
had said he would beat Bar
ren this night and break the
string of victories that Bar
ren had set. Before the races
started there was quite a bit
of tension in the air. Most of
the fans said that it would
be another victory for Barren
making it four in a row. With
Barren and Pa4gen leading
the cars around in the parade
lap no one was sitting down.
The question was who would
take die lead on the first lap.
As the cars approached the
third turn looking for the green
flag to drop, Barrett and Pad

gets were trying to get the
lump oo the other and gunned
heir engines side by side
: analog out ef the fourth turn
>ut the Flagman said "no",
jne more Up. This occurred
[or shout three laps before the
I reen flag dropped. Finally
it was a start with Barrett
ind Padgett bumper to ?
Jumper and fender to fender
i round for the first two laps.
Coming out of the third turn
Into (he fourth turn Barrett
spun out and before he could
get back in, he found himself
s lap behind plus eleven cars.
In four races this is the first
time that he has been in
trouble and not leading the
race. From here on ot it was
every man for himself. Be
fore the fifty laps were over,
Barrett managed to make up
the one lap defecit but was
never able to overtake the
entire field. He continued to
Improve his position but did
not come up far enough to get
back into the money.
Every one at the race has
speculated as to whether Bar
rett's spinning caused him to
lose the race or would
Padgett: outrun him anyway.
The uppermost question in
everyone's mind Is whether he
would have outrun Padgett
in the fifw laps or not. Some
say "yes- and you will find
others that will say "no."
Possibly that question will be
answered this Saturday night.
After talking to both drivers,
they indicated that like
General McAurthur once said,
"We will return". Weather
permitting the question will be
answered this Saturday night.
Second place and $100. went to
Bobby Brothers and Bill
Moore picked up third place
money of $50.00
Since the track opened for
its first race June 10th when
the talk of the track was Jim
Twiggs, about thefirstcf Aug
ust it was Merlin Ramsey, then
to Dean Parker, from there it
shifted to Charles Barrett and
now its Charles Padgett. Who
will it be next? That question
also remains to be answered.
In the first event Saturday
night, Ray Elliott won first
place honors in the first race,
James Nicholson was second
and Earl Jackson was third.
This was Elliott's first trip to
victory lane. In the second
event, Don Decker was first.
Dickie Dills was second
and Hoyt Ledford was third.
This was also Decker's first
visit to victory lane. In
?he third event Roger Ber
rong wis first and Ber row has
been (here before, so It was
no strange feelli^ for him.
Mac Parker was second and
Howard Scroggs was third.
This Saturday night U the
night everyone has been look
ing forward to. This Is the
night scheduled for the "Pow
der Puff* derby. About fifteen
vouqg ladles have filed entry
blanks to participate In a race
worth a total of $85.00 In
Prise money. This will be an
added event In addition to the
already scheduled four events.
If you want to see what we
think will be the most com
petitive race of the year, come
out to Trl -County Raceway and
see If Barret can make it
four out of five or whether
Patched can make it two In a
row. Dean Parker. Merlin
Ramsey and even Jim Twiggs
Leon Owenby might have
something to say about this
too. Anyway you look at it,
it looks like a real race
coming up weather permit
ting.
