Thirteen can were entered in the "c" nee, 10 can in the "B" race and 12 in the "A" race making a total of 35 can that came prepared to race. Most of the fans agreed that this was by far the mo6t competitive ncing in all three events that they have witnessed this year. Jack Herbert of Andrews winner of the past three "C" events had bad luck in the Tint event losing a wheel early and had then to retire for the night. Arlen Ledford of Hayesville took first place honon. Babe Lands was second with Ray Shelton third, Glen Barnett, fourth and Joe Dorsey fifth. In the "B" race, Steve Roberson continued his winning ways by winning this class for the last three consecutive races. Eugene Corn won this event the first race of the 1970 season but since then it has been Roberson winding up with the checkers. Rex Ledford for the second time this year came in second behind Roberson. Eugene Corn picked up third place money with Merlin Ramsey fourth and W.T. Mauldin fifth. For the second week in a row, a new comer to the track walked away with first place money. Gene Cline from Rome, Ga. making his first appearance at the track lead only the tat few laps, but the last lap is the one that counts and he was in front for this one. Charles Barrett also making his first appearance at the track this season was the only driver the break the 15 second qualifying time. Barret qualified at 14.8 at held the inside pioe position. Barrett almost made a runaway of the race and in all probability would have lapped the field had it not been for the many caution flags. Just about everytime Barrett would get a good lead on his closest competition, the yellow flag would come out Barrett led all but the last few laps and would have clearly been the victor, but being the hard charger that he is was pushing his car just a little too hard and spun out late in the race on the second turn. Before he could recover the field passed him by putting Cline in the number one position. Barrett quickly straightened out his car got back on the track and overtook every car in front of him to take second place honors. Moat everyone agreed that bad the race had a few more laps to go that he would have regained first place. With the lap money he picked up plus second place money, Barrett took home almost as much money as Cline. Other new drivers making their first appearance at the track and qualifying times were: Tommy Fryar 15.3, Harold Fryar 15.3. Donnie Smith 15.7 Curtis Long, 16.0, Fred Cook 16.0, Jimmy Jarnigan 15.9, and Kenneth Hutson 16.5. Harold Fryar ran the last three laps on a flat tire but managed to finish third. Leon Owenby a time winner in this event was fourth and Curtis Long was fifth. Before the racing events were over, Jack Wimpey, promoter, announced that a $25 bounty would go to the driver winning the Class "B" event other than Steve Roberson. If Roberson continues to win this event the bounty will be increased each week. Another Big Bass Sheridan Allen scored again, with another big largemouth bass, this one weighing seven pounds. The fish was caught in the backwaters of Lake Hiwassee near Murphy, on a Mepps spinner. Allen caught a bass weighing over 12 pounds earlier in the season from Lake Chatuge.
