Sunday Morning Notes courtesy of Marie Frauenheim

Draw for Heat 2A at 11:05 am (CDT)
UL-5, UL-10, UL-19, UL-40, UL-559

Phipps wins the start and the heat.
 
Cal Phipps, driving the UL-10 Wright Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC took the lead at the start and was never headed in Heat 1B.  Phipps, the 5th fastest qualifier, bested Greg Hopp in the UL-1 Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Paul Droullard in the UL-9 Summit Contracting-American Eagle. 
 
Phipps not only was first over the line, he won the battle for the inside lane and raced to an average speed of 110.214,  Hopp was about 2 roostertails behind at 108.02 while Droullard was less than half a roostertail behind Hopp at 107.314 mph.  Phipps drives the first all Unlimited Light hull designed and built by Ron Jones sr. for Milt & Charley Wiggins of Rainbow City AL. He showed that normally aspirated power is still competitive with the supercharged teams in Unlimited Lights competition. 
 
After the first round of heats,  the standings show Phipps and Kevin Aylesworth each with 400 points, Vince Xaudaro and Greg Hopp have 300 points, with Michael Flaherty and Paul Droullard with 225 points.  5 other drivers did not score points in the first round of heats, including Steve Hook in the UL-19 Ms ZipFizz, Harold Mills in the UL-40 Miss Red Dot Corporation, Ken Brodie in the UL-50, Pingree Conflitti in the UL-58 Union Dooz and Mike Horvath in the UL-559 Outlaw.
 
Heats 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B plus the Final will be contested on Sunday.  Other than temperatures near 100 degrees with high humidity, the racing conditions are excellent and the crowds a very large.

Close works in horseshoes, but it can be costly in Unlimited Lights racing.

 
Michael Flaherty, driving the UL-72 Miss Boat Electric knew he had the start wired.  He took the lead and raced ahead of Kevin Aylesworth going into turn one.  On Lap 2, Aylesworth in the UL-5 Spirit of Evansville took the lead, but Flaherty came from behind on the Final Turn to defeat Aylesworth and take Heat 1A at the Tri State Chevy Dealers Evansville Freedom Festival. 
 
Only one problem.  Flaherty was early for the start.  Not much..just a boat length..but in this sport when you're early, no matter how close, it's a 1 minute penalty.  So in Heat 1A, Kevin Aylesworth took the victory.  Because of the penalty, Vince Xaudaro in the UL-929 Holweger Development and Construction Inc. finished second, followed by Flaherty in third.
 
Harold Mills in the UL-40 Miss Red Dot Corporation was third at the start but went dead in the water in turn number two.  Pingree Conflitti was 5th at the start in the UL-58 Union Dooz.  Conflitti appeared to be running well till the end of lap two when engine problems developed and the Union Dooz was unable to finish.
 
Heat 1B is scheduled for 4:00pm Central Time this afternoon.
