Homer Alaska - Sports

The Homer Racing Association once again spent a sunny Sunday afternoon driving in circles on Beluga Lake. This day was made even brighter by the presence of famed dirt track racer Don Adams and a number of new racers.

Timekeeper Becky Ravin said that Adams and his wife would like to move from Colorado to Alaska, especially after what they saw Sunday.

"He was really excited to witness ice racing," she said.

On the race course, stock car no. 24 and modified car no. 10 are still ranked fastest. Cordell Celtic leads the pitman stock division and Dean Ravin leads the pitman mod. Faith Schade took the lead in the stock powderpuff division and Michelle Drake continues to lead the powederpuff mod.

"Everyone had a great time, it was a good day overall," Ravin said.
