West Haven, VT – Saturday night at Devil’s Bowl was warm with folks from CCV (Community College of Vermont) on hand along with MVVDMS vintage racers in town. Walter J.

He would lead 16 laps until fifth place starting Walter J. Hammond came knocking wheeling his WH Building & Design 98H. The Canaan, NH driver had one win, and was looking for number two.
Hammond took the lead and held off a late race challenge from Wells, VT racer Don Mattison in his Monroe Mines number 10 to earn his second victory of the season.

LaDuc started 17th and raced his way to 4th.
