Can-Am on the Sovereign – 7/28/26

 

The MVH Tuesday Night Retro Series visited the 220’ American Model Raceways Sovereign this week to run Can-Am. With ten drivers, racing was limited to the middle four lanes and was in the 4-on/6-off format with four (or five) marshals on the corners and one person to run the computer.

 

Ten Can-Am Racers in Tech:

 

Noah Ball was posting sub-seven second times in practice and continued his fast ways when racing got under way to jump out to an early lead. Meanwhile, John Weaver, Woody Hazelwood and Rob Hayes were closing in on seven second laps to keep him honest in the race for the bottom two podium steps.

 

When time ran out, Noah had posted exactly 100 laps to take the win by a lap over John. In the race for third, Woody and Dave Panich ended up tied with 95 laps and 16 sections each, but Woody was slightly ahead of Dave. Six laps back, Rob ended up tied with Joe Yates at 89 laps each, but Rob’s 35 sections put him ahead of Joe giving him fifth place. Dan Savage and Richard Payne finished a lap apart with Dan at 86 and Richard at 85. Steven Sacchetti and Rolly Lapierre Jr. closed out the field.   

 

Noah’s 6.968 on blue was the fastest lap of the night with Woody (7.023), Weaver (7.031) and Rob (7.032) all posting respectable lap times in the 7.0s.
