NMRA TQs At Orange Show
by Tim Kennedy

San Bernardino, CA., Jul. 2 - Scott Hansen, a USAC TQ Midget, Midget, Sprint Car and Silver Crown veteran, scored his fifth NMRA-TQ Midget 25-lap feature victory here Saturday at the quarter-mile paved Orange Show Speedway. He made his first start in the No. 55 Dave Lambert Honda that is usually raced by 2003-04 NMRA driving champion Steve Lambert. Hansen became the fourth winner in six races this season and moved into tenth place in current points after competing in just three races.

    Round six of the 14-race NMRA season was the second appearance by NMRA at a paved track. Walt Johnson won the first NMRA main event at Orange Show on May 14 in round three. Johnson, aboard the No. 15 Robert & Cynthia Welcomer Honda-powered car  that he built, finished second this time to Hansen. Michael Bliffen, point leader Jody Bandfield and Bruce Hiroshima completed the top five finishers and each drove a self-owned car.

    With 11 cars present, West Evans, Steve Parke, Richard Ortega, Jr., rookie Jenna Bliffen and 2002 NMRA champion rounded out the top ten. Ron Ahrendt was unable to start. Parke led the initial lap and Hansen paced the final 24 circuits. Hansen and Evans won the eight-lap heat races. West set fastest qualifying time of 13.397 to edge Johnson's 13.406. Bandfield won the trophy dash from the front row over West, Johnson and M. Bliffen.

    Round seven of NMRA's fourth season since it restarted in 2002 will take place Saturday, July 23 at the quarter-mile dirt Thunder Bowl Speedway.
