(March 26, 2005- Chowchilla, CA)...David Goodwill of This was the first of six CSRA Wingless Sprint
club visits to Chowchilla Speedway, and the general feeling
expressed by many participating teams was one of gratitude that they
were able to race at all. Recent rain storms forced most The Wingless Sprints had two flag to flag heat
races, and young Steven Williams took the first win in his WW
Generators sprinter after making a bold pass on veteran driver Gary
Koster in turn three, followed by sophomore driver Rob Hammond of The 20 lap feature ran accident free and fast
on the well prepared tacky track. Pole starter Scott Pierson led the
first two circuits until he took turn one high and went off the
track for the first yellow. Goodwill took the point and checked out
with a healthy lead over Hammond and Siverling. Mid pack showed lots
of dicing for position between Koster, Shipherd, and Amador, and at
lap 18 Williams made the move on The CSRA teams donated candy and toys to fill
Easter baskets for children in the stands, who were also treated to
an Easter bunny visit. Many teams hung around after the races to
visit with friends and fans they hadn't seen over the winter, and it
was wonderful to see the cars all loaded on trailers undamaged.
Special thanks to driver Jimmy Lavell who was still finishing up
engine work on his car, as he loaded up his quad to come out and
help push his fellow drivers. Chowchilla's Rev. Ron got us all off
to a great safe season start with a prayer at the drivers meeting.
There is nothing that compares to experiencing the smell of methanol
fumes and the roar of engines as the 2005 CSRA season begins! The
next race for the CSRA Wingless Sprints will be at |
