Clear As Day And Knight: Langford, BC, January 10, 2010:                 Once again, the Steve Copp sponsored winter series for the Hornet cars entered the track, at Western Speedway, for another two hour or two hundred lap Enduro race. Phil Lagan has won three similar events and is tough to beat over the gruelling race and he lined up on the pole with Rory Smith, Steve Copp, Cassandra Musfelt, and Darrell Midgley occupying the top five spots.                 Lagan took charge on the first lap but slipped on the wet surface spinning out leaving Smith in the lead followed by Copp and Midgley after just three laps. On lap seven, Midgley took over the lead with Smith in second and Jim Schuss going into third. These three drivers stayed relatively close for several laps with Smith going back to the lead on lap eighteen dropping Midgley back to second with the #22 car running third. The two cars wearing number 22 was Aumen and Robbie Haslam and in this area both cars were running pretty close however I believe Haslam had the edge from here to the end of the race. Jake Spring moved into the top four by lap twenty-six behind the #22 car, Midgley, and Smith. On lap thirty-three, Midgley again went back into the lead with Copp and Smith in close pusuit with the #22, Spring and Schuss still in the mix. This line up stayed pretty much intact with lots of drivers changing positions mid pack. On lap fifty-three, Smith again grabbed the lead as Midgley went to the pits with an over heating motor thus ending his day. Up front, on lap fifty-seven, Copp had the lead followed by Smith, the #22 car, Kevin Knight, and Lagan now back to fifth. On lap sixty-five the caution flag came out showing Smith in the lead with Copp now running second and #22 third and Knight fourth. On the very next lap, Smith came to the pits with a hot engine thus ending his day. By lap eighty-three Copp still had the lead followed by Knight and Lagan.                 On lap one hundred, the field fell under a yellow flag as the whole field would be subject to a direction change and would now run on a reverse course just to make things ineteresting. After just a few laps in this order, Copp got tagged going through the tight chicane on the backstretch and was forced into the curb breaking a tie rod thus ending his run on lap one hundred and six. By lap one fifteen, Knight was in charge up front followed by Lagan the #22 car and Schuss. The battle up front was intense as Lagan battled Knight bumper to bumper and side by side with neither driver giving in. Several drivers got bunched up in the chicane including Lagan who lost several positions as cars righted themselves. Knight hung on to the lead holding off many challenges from several drivers and took the checkered flag. Lagan ran second with Schuss finishing third in the run for the trophies however, other cars did finished ahead but had changed drivers during the event.                 Twenty cars lined up for this run as support for the winter series still draws the interest of many drivers. Several fans also with stood the cooler temperature to watch the race. The next event is scheduled for February 7th with racing at 1:00 PM. in the afternoon. Dress warm and come out to watch the show presented by Steve Copp Construction.   1 #49   Kevin Knight   2 #22   Robbie Haslam   3 #56   Daniel David   4 #59   Phil Lagan   5 #21   Jim Schuss   6 #9x   Blair Davis   7 #22R Cody Aumen   8 #113 Cassandra Mussfelt   9 #13   Terry Barton 10 #56R  Sam Lagan 11 #85   Jake Spring 12 #98   George Newell 13 #15   Steve Copp 14 #0    Bailey Walker 15 #44   Rory Smith 16 #81   Darrell Midgley 17 #57   John LucLagan 18 #14   Daryl Crocker 19 #62   Paul Larouche 20 #58   Lois Lagan 21 #5    Carl Jones
