Watsonville, CA..Oct
16..A veteran of 33 seasons behind the wheel, Jim Perry Jr took
the lead from NCMA star David Goodwill on lap 6 and paced the final
25 laps as he scored a $2000, 30 lap feature win as the Indian
Summer Series for the wingless spec sprints concluded on Saturday
night at Watsonville Speedway. Goodwill stayed in second after
losing the lead to Perry and he won $1000 for that place. Rick
Martin joined the action on Saturday and came from 11th starting to
third, but was penalized back to sixth place, the last car running,
for failing to report to the post race tech area. That allowed
Friday night dash winner Bob Newberry to move into the $750 third
ahead of Scott Merrell, who won $500. When Antioch Speedway
shortened their participation in the series to just a single night
$500 to win show, the series point fund ended, but five huge
trophies were awarded to the teams with the best combined records
between the two shows. Newberry earned the series championship award
ahead of Billy Macedo, Merrell, Goodwill and Perry Jr. Rain began to
fall in the pit area shortly after the Saturday night racing was
completed. |
