HIESTER'S H.O. RACEWAY

Tonight Thursday October 16, 2025, was the First Race of the 2025-2026 Hiester's H.O. Raceway season for the Sprint Car Division sposored by Hiester's White Plastic Bodies.  Racing to the victory was Sheldon Hiester, winning 5 of his 6 races on the night, and the one he didn't win he was edged out right at the line on a restart which a qucik switch by the powerman split the 2 cars battling for the victory.  Finishing second was veteran Mike Feltenberger, who won 3 races on the night.  Coming home in the final spot on the podium in third was Shane Hiester, winning 2 races on the night.  Fourth place went to Jim LeVan who was fast all night, winning 3 races on the night as well.  Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Bob Windle, winning 2 races on the night.  The rest of the running order finished up like this: 6-Brian Zerbe, 7-Andrew Cremer (2 wins), 8-Jim Petersheim (2 wins), 9-Tom Hiester (1 win), 10-Dave Lauver, 11-Brian Saylor, 12-Steve Windle, 13-Michael Hutt (1 win), 14- Steve Smith Sr., 15-Gilbert Zerbe, 16-Dave Figura, 17-Lyle Spiegel, and 18-Linda Lauver.  The racing was good all night throughout the field as some races had 3 cars cross the line for a 20 at the finish.  Brian Zerbe came home with a strong 6th place finish, without winning a race, but was just 1 track section short for a win in 3 m0f his 6 races.  Michael Hutt had another good night picking up another segment win during the night on Lane 6.  Gilbert Zerbe and Lyle Spiegel made their first starts of the season at Hiester's after missing the Season Opener last week due to prior commiments for the night last week. Jim LeVan has been off to a fast start this season at Hiester's with 2 Top 5 finishes so far, and his cars have been in cintention for the victory both weeks.  Jim Petersheim also made his 1st start of the season and drove to a good Top 10 finish winning 2 races on the night, as Jim was here for the opener, but left prior to the start of our racing because of not feeling well.  We ran a Cash Dash after the Main Event sponsored by Pete Fox, and that event was won by Jim LeVan, followed by Mike Feltenberger and Steve Windle.  We will be back in action next Thursday Night October 30, with the Modified Division and the Race willo be sponsored by JBS Racing (Joe Keesey Sr., Bob Windle, and Steve Windle).  Warm-Ups will begin at 6PM and the 1st Race to start around 7PM.  This week will be a Special Event for the Smith Family Steve Smith Sr. and his wife Jenn Smith who is battling cancer.  During the night we will be selling 50/50 tickets, and 2 different raffle tickets with all proceeds going to the Smith Family to help with medical costs.  The raffle tickets will be sold in a $1 a ticket option or a $5 a ticket option, the $1 tickets will be for donated door prizes of a lower value, and the $5 tickets will be for chances to win the higher dollar donated door prizes.  The team of JBS Racing have received door prize donations from Wizzard High Performance, Viper Scale Racing, JAG Hobbies, Slot Car Central, SCS Hobbies, Rooster Racing, and Tom Hiester's H.O. Raceway.  Steve Windle Posted some of the Door Prizes received from the sponsors as donations on the Tom Hiester's H.O.
