NCMA - Select Series At Chowchilla |
|
April 30, 2005 - Chowchilla, CA...First outing and his first win gave new NCMA member Doug Brewer an exciting finish to the first NCMA Select Series race at Chowchilla Speedway this evening. The NCMA
Select series in its second season offers open events for 360 sprints to compete
in with seven races at different dirt tracks throughout California and into
Nevada. All tracks are run on
specific rules under the guide lines of NCMA. Three heats were held with Sam Fries of Sacramento taking the first one, Rick Eversult, the second, and Rob Hammond of Morgan Hill, the third. Each received a $10 certificate from CL Bryant for fuel. The Trophy Dash included George Terry, Delhi, Citrus
Heights’ Tim Sherman, Keith Shipherd of Pleasant Hill, Hammond, Eversult, and
Fries. Four quick laps and Hammond
picked up the win. Twenty-one sprints took the track for the main, with Don Emery and Brewer bringing them to the green. Steve Stein, Terry and Sherman were the top five starters. Not for long, as Brewer had control by the fifth lap and held on for the night. However, Sam Fries, who started ninth was right on his tail several times and even managed to get around him once. Brewer had it tonight and kept it! Brewer blew a radiator hose with only a few laps to go and stated “my temp only got to 180(degrees) and I was able to finish.” Fries said he thought he’d “wait it out and have the win”, but five laps just didn’t do it. Fries was second. Ed Amador of Modesto started twelfth and snaked his way right into third. Sacramento’s Scott Pierson started fourteenth and finished fourth, and Eversult completed the top five. All in all it was a great race for the season opener, with literally only one hang up as Michael Zarevich was punted from the rear and ended up hanging between the front stretch wall and the fence. Zarevich was ok, but his new sprinter did not go home the same way it came. Racers from NCMA, SCRA, and the Twin Cities 360 group participated in the race tonight and if you would like more information go to the NCMARacing.com website for the rules and schedule. The next NCMA Select Series race will be held at Twin Cities Speedway, Marysville, CA. NCMA sprints will run at Lakeport Speedway next weekend, May 7. Summary: Heat I-Fries, Shipherd, Stein, Burt Siverling, Larry Nelson, Bobby Nichols, David Goodwill. Heat II-Eversult, Sherman, Brewer, Josh Jacobo, Zarevich, Steve Nelson, Matt Fontaine |
