victory.
Northern California Modified (sprint car) Association tried to have a go at Altamont last Sunday for their first showing of the season on the newly refurbished half mile, but Mother Nature took the win as the on-again, off- again showers kept any racing from happening that day. Fast

Zarevich set fast time in his Performance Machine of Manteca sprinter.
Two
heats were run with Dash
time and the four quick guys headed for the trophy.
Scott Holloway driving Dave Jensen’s sprint car snatched that trophy.
Zarevich was second, Burrows, also of Thirty

showing some pretty exciting headway this season, led the pack for twenty eight
action packed laps. These guys are

watch them run. When it looked like
Zarevich had it in his pocket, “Gentleman Jim” Lavelle, who shares ownership
of his car with Dave and Pam Guillaume, proved that a little more experience can
save the day. With two laps
remaining he took the outside of the track and made it around Zarevich. Lavelle
