Tim Dohm Outduels Greg Oakes to Win $5,000 in 1st UFo Mega-88 Feature at Tyler County
(Middlebourne, PA) Tim Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV fought off the hard charge of Greg Oakes and captured his second all-time UFo win Friday night as Tyler County Speedway kicked off the “Mega in the Mountains” weekend. Over 170 cars filled the pits including 31 UFo Super Late Models in this three day spectacular event.
The redraw put Keith Barbara and Tim Dohm on the front row of the 44 lap feature. Dohm immediately charged to the lead with Barbara, Zack Dohm and Paul Wilmoth, Jr. racing behind him. Dohm built up a solid lead while Wilmoth advanced to second and soon began to battle with Derek Doll for the position. Greg Oakes advanced from seventh and found himself in second when the race’s only caution appeared on lap 26.
After the double file restart, Dohm and Oakes waged a thrilling side by side battle over the next eight laps with Dohm being scored just barely ahead each lap. Dohm took control with Oakes right behind and eighth starting Jackie Boggs now in third. The trio ran in striking distance to the checker flag, with Dohm taking the $5,000 first prize. Oakes and Boggs finished side by side for second and third with only a fraction of a second determining the outcome.
Doll finished fourth with Jared Miley in fifth. Tim Scenic rocketed from the 16th starting position to finish sixth followed by Zack Dohm, Barbara, Wilmoth and Devin Friese. Heat race wins went to Wilmoth, Boggs, Tim Dohm and Berwanger. Consolation wins going to Jared Hawkins and Friese.
The top twelve from Friday’s feature at Tyler County will be locked in to Saturday’s $5,000 to win feature on the second night of competition in the “Mega in the Mountains” weekend. Those twelve will start that race inverted. The remaining positions will be filled by qualifying races. If 28 cars sign in on Saturday, 22 will start the feature and 24 will start if 32 are registered. Saturday night’s action will also showcase the $12,000 to win Renegades of Dirt E-mod 100 lap feature.
