Mother Nature may have won the North Counties Development 75 laps Feature Event at Shasta Raceway Park; this was to be our second appearance of 2010. It did not stop the AABLM drivers, crews and families from enjoying the weekend. Some of the racers hung out at the Gaia Hotel Restaurant & Spa playing in the rain and making plans to visit Redding for some indoor kart racing. Other racers headed to Ukiah Speedway to get their speed fix in. Junior Roddy, attempting to make his first appearance for 2010, was able to get some practice laps at Ukiah Speedway, thanks to Blair Aiken. Jeremy Doss, who usually spots for his dad, (Mike Doss) with the AABLM got to race his Legends car with INEX Legends at Ukiah Speedway. Congratulations Jeremy, you drove an awesome race. Jeremy was asked if he would rather race or spot, he said “As long as I am at the track, it’s all good.” AABLM Intern Caity Miller hustled the truck and trailer from Shasta to Ukiah, hoping to get some hot laps in before qualifying in her bomber. Corey James and crew could be seen around the Ukiah pits helping out fellow racers. You would have thought that the AABLMs were racing, with all the AABLM shirts racers and crews were sporting. Way to represent guys! The AABLM’ers were greeted with a warm welcome at the back gate from Glenda Gilmer and staff, they were surprised and happy that we would make the trip back from Shasta. Special thanks go out to the Gaia Hotel team for being understanding and rebooking all the reservations for the next race at Shasta Raceway Park at the last minute, thank you again.
The top 4 drivers all have a chance to clinch the championship:
| • | Corey James, he has to get max points with Mike Lovell finishing 6th and Mike Doss finishing 19th in the feature. |
| • | Kevin Ostern needs to collect max points and Lovell finishes 4th and Doss 15th in the feature. |
| • | Mike Lovell has the best chance to take over the top spot by collecting max points and Doss finishes 8th. |
| • | Doss already occupies the top spot and he only needs to finish 4th or better in the feature. |
By collecting max points, they need to have fast time, win and gain the most position in the feature giving a total of 117 points. That’s not out of reach, since all the top 4 drivers have had fast time, won a feature, and collect bonus points for the most gain in the feature.
The last point’s race for the season is at Ukiah Speedway on September 11, 2010. Please plan to attend the Patriot Day Celebration and crowning the champion, this is a must attend event. Wear and display our Countries colors, in remembrance of the heroes of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Also at Ukiah Speedway will be the Northern California Pro-4 Modifieds, Street Stocks, Bomber Bash a 50 lap main, Bonus Bombers, Slider Race and the popular Boat Races. Events start @ 5:00pm so it will be a must see Saturday at Ukiah Speedway. For more information about Ukiah Speedway visit www.ukiahspeedway.com

Today’s AABLM Event at Shasta has been canceled to due to rain.
AABLM participated at Lakeport Speedway‘s 22nd annual Deake Lyndall Memorial open show with Jeremy Hopkins qualifying the fastest, with a time of 12.050, followed by Forrest Kuecker with 12.169, and Dallas Shane 12.382. Kuecker won the dash; Noel McCormack won the feature. Kuecker led the first 20 laps, and made McCormack work hard to take the lead, on the last lap he gave it his all, spinning his car into the infield giving up second to Hopkins. Next race is Saturday July 31, 2010 at Redwood Acres Raceway with a full night of entertainment featuring the Real Stock, Mini Stock, Roadrunners, Thunder Roadsters and AABLM.
This is the second scheduled stops for us at the Redwood Acres Raceway. Our series sponsor, Clarion Hotel, is offing a Racers Special of $75.00 per night. Just mention AABLM and Redwood Acres Raceway.

June 26th is our comeback date and the 5th round for the Airport Auto Brokers Late Models. After 2 weeks off, we’re ready to play! The teams have been wrenching on their late models, kicking tires and telling tales. It’s time to go racing!
So far AABLM has had 5 different winners for the 2010 season. Will Mike Lovell make it 6? Since his last place finish at Ukiah on opening night, he has finished in the top five every race. That’s including 3 straight 3rd places finishes. Can Kevin Ostern make it 3 straight @ Ukiah Speedway? Ostern won the 2009 season finale and 2010 opening night. Let’s not forget Clay Caturegli, who won 2 of the 4 events in 2009. Mike Doss leads the points over Lovell by 54 points, Corey James is only 7 points behind Lovell. Kevin Ostern, 2009 Champion, is only a few markers behind James.
Also at Ukiah Speedway will be the Northern California Pro-4 Modifieds, Modifieds, Street Stocks and Legends. Events start @ 6:30pm so it will be a must see Saturday at Ukiah Speedway.
