Jason Meulemans of Appleton was the "survivor" of the 300 lap compact car enduro race Saturday afternoon at 141 Speedway at Francis Creek.

Meulemans started on the pole and spent the first twenty laps battling Todd Hebel and Jim Brooks for the lead. However on lap 21 incidental contact with a lapped car sent Jason to fifth place handing the lead to Brooks. He would lead until lap 39 when David Beyer came to the front.

Beyer held on to the first manditory caution period with Brooks and Todd Welsing right behind.

Beyer led up to lap 121 when Brooks again grabbed the top spot. Beyer's luck worsened on lap 149 when he was caught up a in three car crash that spun him out in turn two dropping him to third.

On lap 171 Jim Brooks was still leading when his car suddenly lost power and died leaving him to roll off to the pits never to return. This put Welsing in the lead and moved Beyer back into the contest in second.

When the second manditory caution came at lap 200, Beyer had passed for the lead. When the green flag dropped on phase three of the race Welsing retook the lead and started pulling away for ten laps until he suddenly had a mechanical failure and began to drop back in the field putting Beyer on top again.

This only lasted two laps though as Meulemans powered to the front and began to run away from the field leading by almost a full lap at times. Near the end of the contest, Beyer made a charge and got to within six seconds of the leader but simply ran out of laps.

Frank Calabrese of Shiocton would come on at the end to finish second and secure the series point lead. Mike Graziano came home fourth just ahead of Welsing who managed to correct his mechanical difficulty to finish fifth.

The next race at 141 is the regular season opener sponsored by Green Pro on April 30 with time trials at 5:30 PM and racing at 7. The next compact car enduro will be May 29 at 7PM.
