By Gerald Laurie
The 2009 edition of Madera Speedway’s Annual Harvest Classic turned out to be the proverbial barnburner that keeps fans on their feet. The Classic featured the SMRA Supermodifieds, and Madera Speedway’s 360 Supermodifieds. When the dance was finally over for the night, Troy Regier had won his third Madera SMRA feature of the year, and Kenny Kinchen had bested the 360 Supermod field.
The 360 Supermodifieds were the first to challenge the clocks. Kenny Kinchen proved fastest at 13.280 followed by Lance Tatro at 13.399, Lance Jackson at 13.399, Dan Vanderpool at 13.484, and David Tuey at 13.618.
The Supermodified Racing Association Supers rounded out time trials. Jeff Russell paced the field at 12.392 seconds. Bryan Warf was next with a time of 12.409, followed by Troy Regier at 12.426, A.J. Russell at 12.492, and Davey Hamilton at 12.566.
