Magic House OSLM
Thompson Feature

Well folks we had another great night of action packed racing here in the Magic House Sim Racing group. This week the Magic House boys took to the famed Thompson Motor Speedway in Thompson Connecticut where the straightaways are long and the corners are steeply banked for multiple racing grooves of close side by side action, speaking of action let’s cut to it.

Your front row consisted of the heat race winners, The Terror of Canada Tony Reiner and the leader of the Michigan Mafia Flyin Brian Strickland. Reiner leads the field to the green for 50 action packed laps but Strickland with a hell of a start of his own takes the lead going into turn one shutting the door on Reiner .
Caution flies on lucky lap 13 to group the field back up.
1st Strickland, 2nd Reiner, 3rd El Dusto Dusty Dean, 4th Slick Willie Patterson, 5th The Hack Nick Stremme

As the green flies Strickland has no problem showing the way but Stremme touches Patterson's back bumper going into turn 1 and Stremme slides high opening the door for The Rocket Rob White to take over the 5th spot. White looks to be the man on the move early on. Let’s see how the rest of the race plays out for the Rocket.
Caution flies again on lap 24 your new top 5 now is
1st Strickland, 2nd Reiner, 3rd Dean, 4th White, 5th Stremme

Drop of the green the top 5 stay the same with Reiner adding more pressure to the leader Strickland and Dean isn’t far off. For the most part the field remains the same with a few cautions but nothing effecting our top 5 but on lap 40 that would all change 2nd and 3rd place drivers get tangled up knocking Reiner out of the race.
So here we go a 10 lap shootout for the win your top 5 now is
1st Strickland, 2nd Dean, 3rd Stremme, 4th The Outlaw Jesse James, and out of nowhere, 5th, The Living Legend Jake Zoll

As the green comes out for the final time, Strickland's lead grew to about a 4 car length lead and he was never pressured. Brian went on to win it going away. The top 5 remained the same for the last caution.
In victory lane, Strickland was overcome with emotion telling his wife to get that monkey off his back. Strickland dedicated the win to Teddy Christopher, famed modified champ and a regular at Thompson Speedway who passing away in the fall of 2017.
The action didn’t stop in the pits either as Reiner and Dean had to be separated with Dean laughing the whole time and then out of nowhere Bob Boley pulls a Larry Holmes to help his best friend Dusty Dean and runs across Deans car to try and jump on Reiner, Reiner moved and Boley landed flat on his face and the crowd laughed at Boley. We tried to get a word in with Tony but we didn’t have a translator that could speak Canadian.
