Real Rockin Ravi vaulted off cover to a 1:54.4 win in Sunday s (Feb. 21) $20,000 final of the George Red Owens Memorial Series at Miami Valley Raceway.
Real Rockin Ravi had outside post positions in the two preliminary legs of the series and eked out very narrow victories in both. With a better post draw for the final, driver Dan Noble elected to race mid-pack early in the mile before confidently angling the four-year-old daughter of Pet Rock off the pylons to follow cover as the field neared the halfway juncture. Content with the flow, Noble followed along until halfway around the final bend before swinging three-wide into the stretch and powerfully passing her remaining foes.
