Caho Conquers TSCS Sprints for Fourth Win
With the UMSS winged sprints on hand for the Dan Grams Memorial, all weekly divisions were also in action at the St. Croix Valley Raceway on Friday night July 26. Despite a few light sprinkles from time to time, windy conditions and falling temps, the racing program was completed and Rob Caho, Jr. of Wyoming, Minnesota picked up his third SCVR victory of the season and fourht over all in the series.
The penultimate race on the night featured the non-winged UMSS Traditional Sprints, with Katrina Sautbine and Johnny Parsons setting the pace. Sautbine, looking for her third TSCS win led for the first five laps before Parsons took over trying to score his third win of 2013 as well. Mike Mueller, who picked up his first career TSCS win when the series visited Granite City Speedway in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, last Sunday, was running the low groove with Sautbine and Parsons, while series points leader Rob Caho Jr. was running in his comfort zone – high, pushing off the cushion. At the race’s midpoint, Caho’s high-side hustle paid off as he edged in front of Parsons to take over the lead. With neither line showing a clear advantage, the middle of the track was clear as the racers meticulously stuck to their respective low and high racing grooves. Caho and Parsons were tussling for the win, while Sautbine, Brian VanMeveren, Cam Shafer and Mueller all attacked their preferred lines. At the final double checkers, Caho claimed the trophy over Parsons, Mueller, VanMeveren and Shafer.
