Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Evoy wins race, grabs achievement at Mohawk

-- Press-Republican

AKWESASNE — With only four weeks left in the regular season at the Mohawk International Raceway, the points battles are heating up and so was the action on the race track Friday.

The night kicked off with Round No. 2 of the St. Lawrence Seaway Sportsman Series.

Dylan Evoy came through with his seventh win of the season and 17th of his Mohawk career, putting him atop the all-time Sportsman feature win list.

Evoy held off Josh VanBrocklin toward the end to secure the victory and achievement.

Chris Herbison, Brent Kelsey and Mike Arquiett rounded out the top five.

Billy Dunn held off a late charge from Laurent Ladouceur to pick up his fourth win of the season in the 25-lap 358 Modifieds race. Tim O’Brien, Chris Raabe and Danny O’Brien made up the rest of the top five.

Paul Klager got his second win in a row in the TUSA Mod Lite Series. Bryan Green, Jeff Mat, Scott Waldorff and Jim Bogett rounded out the top five.

P.J. Peters raced to victory in the Pro Stock division, his second win of the year. Dion Oakes, Stephane Lebrun, Jody Swamp and Owen White finished behind him, respectively.

Mathieu Aubin earned his second straight win and fourth of the season in the Bandits division. Jean Marc Larose, Corey Castell, Matt Zira and Stuart Mossow rounded out the top five.

Next week the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino will headline the night for a full program of Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stock, Bandit and Mod Lite action. The green flag drops at 7:45 p.m.
