1997 Laughlin Challenge Class 12

There was a big shake-up in the Lites points chase, begun by the victory of Dave Callaway.That win moved him into the point lead as well. Callaway Fought tooth and nail with the 2nd place finisher George Erl all weekend, but by the end, he had developed a narrow 1 min. 6 sec. lead on the challenger.

In the absence of Danny Anderson, Erl moved into 4th in points, and is verry close to Tom Riddings 3rd (in light of his dissapointing 5th place finish)

The attrition that plagued the 10 cars, manifested in the former 10s as well. Pre Laughlin point leader Ron Dalke settled for 3rd position, completing 9 0f the 10 laps with a time of 2:28:33 in the effort. Steve Grinke, Also at 9 laps, finished 4th, with a time well behind Greinke at 2:44:40.At 3 laps completed, and a 6th plase showing, was Tom Ridings.

Once again, we will look to Baja for the series Championship. The top 5 positions are up for grabs with Baja's point system, and the SCORE Lites will bear close watching at the 1000 for some of the most competitive racing of the 97 season.
