Full day of ice racing, Powder Puff races wrap up points season on Garfield Lake

LAPORTE — Sunday, March 5, was the final points race at Garfield Lake as the ice racers took to the ice to try and improve their season point totals in both the A and B classes.

At the end of the regular races, the ladies got behind the wheel and put on a show for the hundreds of fans in attendance. Twenty-three ladies raced in three heats with nine qualifying for a special feature to end the day of racing.

The club will announce the season points champions and celebrate the season on Saturday, March 25, at the Woodshed in Laporte.

Highlighting the day's racing in the B class, Hunter Weeks won both features and a heat race. Also winning a heat race were Bob Pawlitschek picking up two checkered flags and CJ Roller picking up one.

Consolation race winners were Abe Forseman and Faye Lewis.

In the A class, John Farrington won both feature races and also a heat race. Heat winners were John Sharpnack, Jerad Miller and Nate Zanter.

The Powder Puff races were won by Lisa Roth, Heather Bitker and Amanda Rohloff, with Bitker winning the feature race.

Depending on ice conditions, track officials Kris Baker and Tom Lindahl announced a possible “fun” race next Sunday, March 12. Check the Garfield Lake Ice Racers Facebook page for further details.
