SPRING VALLEY, MN - August 26, 2012:  (Photos Courtsey of Buck Monson Photo) A late afternoon mist as the North Country Slingshots were completing their racing action slicked up the tracks and delayed the start of the racing action on the Deer Creek Speedway.

With an anonymous donor putting up extra money for the USRA Modifieds making them $1,000 to win and Randy and Patti Eastvold putting an extra $100 to each third place finisher in all six classes.
First feature of the night was the Hinz Trucking USRA B-Modifieds with Kylie Kath jumping out to the early lead. Jacob Bleess sat in second early on with Scott Demmer and Shaun Walski in the top four.

On the restart Demmer and Kath were side by side for the lead with Parker Hale taking over the fourth spot. Walski sat in third as Alex Williamson moved under Bleess for the fifth spot.

With thirteen down Bleess moved past Hale for fifth again while Walski and Williamson were racing for third. Williamson got third on the next lap.

Karlie Wagner won the Pee_Wee division with JT Wasmund taking home the Juniors and Derek Clement in the seniors.
