San Bernardino, CA., Sept. 3 - Chuck West won his first NMRA-TQ Midget 25-lap main event of the year Saturday at the quarter-mile, paved Orange Show Speedway. It was his third career NMRA feature victory and it came in the ninth race of the 11-race season. The 2002 series champion from Fresno drove the No. 38 Stealth/Kawasaki owned by his cousin and fellow driver West Evans. The winner took the lead on lap 10 from early leader Steve Parke and led the rest of the race.

    Point leader Jody Bandfield, a three-time feature winner this year, finished second in his own car. Walt Johnson, another three-time 2005 winner and title-contender, finished third in the Welcomer-owned, Johnson-built Honda. Bruce Hiroshima was fourth and Kenny Wiley fifth. Michael Bliffin, Evans, Parke, Richard Ortega, Jr and rookie Scott Dobson completed the top ten in a 14-car field.

    Bandfield and Johnson won eight-lap heat races. Polestarter Johnson took the trophy dash for the four fastest qualifiers. Wiley, Bandfield, and west followed. Bandfield had fast time honors with a lap of 13.362, which beat NMRA's two-month old track record of 13.397 set by West two months ago. 

The final two NMRA races scheduled this year are at Ventura Raceway on October 15, and the fourth race this season at Orange Show Speedway on October 22.
