Allery Makes It Two-In-A-Row At Caroga Creek RacePark; Putnam Takes Slingshots

Story By: TOBY LAGRANGE / CAROGA CREEK RACEPARK – EPHRATAH, NY – The fifth event of the season took the green flag Saturday afternoon at the Caroga Creek RacePark and when all was said and done in the Slingshot and Wing Champ divisions, it looked a lot like one week before.

Brett Putnam and Mike Allery each took the checkered flags in the afore mentioned divisions. The wins were not only their second of the season at Fulton County’s Action Attraction but second in a row.

Putnam, who was the heat race winner, picked up the win over Joe Rando and rookie Josh Persse. Blaine King and Margaret Wagner would round out the top five.

Allery meanwhile doubled up in the Wing Champ ranks. Allery would take the Mohawk Chevrolet number 84 across the finish line first ahead of Ronnie Smith, Matt Chavis, Kyle Dingman and opening day winner David Herrick, II. Heat races were won by Allery and Chavis.
