The Seventh Annual Stephanie Eckl Memorial was held in Smethport, PA at the McKean County Raceway August 4 and Raceway Magazine was there.  During the evening Raceway contributor Tim Baker clamped a camera on the  back of Chris Austin's Street Stock.  Chris promptly went out and won the feature.  Images taken from out the back window are included below with other photos of the evening by Jay Pees.

The battle for the lead as it looked from the infield with Austin taking the low side and Andy Michael high.  Michael suffered mechanical problems about midway into the event, leaving the way open for Austin to collect his second win in as many weeks.
