According to
Secretary Wendell Farris, the latest championship standing released by Mike Heffron,
secretary of the International Motor Contest Association show the first 10
positions have changed considerably in the past two weeks.
Johnny White,
the defending IMCA national champion, is well entrenched in first place but
Gordon Woolley of Waco, Texas has passed Pete Folse, the five-time champion,
for second place, by virtue of his consistent running in first, second, third
and fourth places in recent feature events. Woolley finished fourth at
Winchester Speedway last Sunday behind Red Amick, while White finished tenth
clue to a spinout in the 30-lap feature.
Jerry Blundy of
Galesburg, Ill., and Jerry Daniels of St. Paul are tied for fourth place with
340 points each. Bob Coulter, of Lakewood, California another entry here, is
moving up rapidly and is right on Blundy's tail with 327 points to hold down fifth
spot.
Blundy's recent
15-lap feature win at Urbana, Ill., is expected to change the standings quite a
bit from the latest release. Blundy finished ahead of Jim McCune of Toledo , Ohio Warren , Mich.
The two-day
meet, here with championship points at stake may very well be the turning point
for the front-running, who are now beginning to feel the pressure from a big
group of newcomers to the midwestern track racing circuit.
Time trials will
start at 7 p.m. Thursday
and will hold good for the two nights of racing. The first of six races each
evening will get the “go” flag at 8
p.m.
