Day six proved to be as expensive as day five for the racers
at New Smyrna Speedway. No driver was hurt but alot of
good cars were destroyed. One of the Florida mods decided
doing down the wall was not a bad idea and proceeded to
take turn l and 2 on the wall and taking out part of the fence.

Mike Mechalides of Tynsboro, MA who had won several
nights in the Limited Late Model division saw his car
torn up. Also, Chris Wimmer, younger brother of Scott
Wimmer of the Hooter's Pro Cup series, also saw his car
destroyed during the Super Late Model race. Luckily, no
drivers were hurt only their cars.
