RAHMER  MAKES IT SIX FEATURES WINS AT SSP IN 2004 

NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (September 2,  2004) –Fred Rahmer won his  sixth Susquehanna 
Speedway Park Sprint Car feature of the season Thursday  evening.  Rahmer’s 
$2,500 victory  was his fourth in a row at SSP, and his sixth consecutive win 
on the tough  central Pennsylvania circuit.  In other action, Tom Johns won the 
Xtreme Enduro Stock Car feature event  and Scott Wallace won the Demo Derby. 
Polesitter Dave Cordier took the early lead in the 25  lap Sprint Car 
feature, as the action at midpack was intense.  Rahmer, who had started 12th,  was 
steadily working his way forward, and caught Cordier in lapped traffic on  the 
tenth lap.  Although Rahmer was  in front, his win still wasn’t an easy one, as 
tenth starter Lance Dewease  tracked Rahmer through lapped traffic, but never 
did get a shot at the  lead.  In the end, Rahmer scored his  24th career SSP 
win, and his 28th overall this  season. 
Dewease settled for second with Cordier hanging on to  the third position.  
Greg Hodnett  nipped Jim Siegel at the finish line for fourth position.  
Following Siegel in the top ten were  Brent Kluge, Eric Stambaugh, Josh Wells, Scott 
Lutz and Billy Dietrich.  Heats went to Cordier and Dewease.   In victory 
lane, it was announced  that a $1,000 bounty will go to any driver other than 
Fred Rahmer that can win  the next event at SSP on Thursday, September 2.   The 
only stipulation is that  Rahmer must finish the 25 lap race in which he will 
start in 12th  position if he makes the handicap pool. 
Johns started deep in the field in the 20 lap Xtreme  Enduro Stock Car 
feature and took the lead from Sam Rial on the 12th  lap.  Rial finished second 
followed  by Jason Failor, Matt Wampler and Mike Goodwin.  Heats went to Failor 
and Matt Smith,  while Ronnie Thomas took the Pepsi Dash. 
In a special relay race for the School buses, the  team of Heidi Thomas, Alan 
Witmer, J.R. Rodriguez, and Rob Harkins were the  winners.   

The next race  will be Sunday Night, September 5 with the Credit Connection /
