NCMA Sprints - Altamont Raceway Park Tracy, CA - August 23, 2008 David Goodwill won his third pavement race at Altamont Raceway Park today adding another notch in his points’ belt. Goodwill continues a quest to be overall champion for 2008 and it’s looking good. Pat Ariaz set fast time, with Goodwill only three-one hundredths slower, and the challenge was on. Jeff Burrows was having problems and still qualified third quick. Ed Amador was fourth fast and Rob Hammond rounded out the top five. Burt Siverling and Hammond brought the sprints to the green flag, Hammond jumped out there and made the first lap all his own. Amador was right behind him, running second. Goodwill and Ariaz started moving through the pack, Goodwill going in deep and pulled up to second, Ariaz made it to fourth with Amador in between. A few more go-rounds and Goodwill was out in clean air, Hammond still holding onto second but Ariaz was giving him a run and managed to take second about the halfway point in the twenty-five lap Main Event. Meanwhile, Amador was being pursued by Burrows with a vengeance and every lap he would get so close Amador could smell him! Amador managed to keep him at bay, but Burrows was right there after finding a problem during the day and still making a great run. Napa’s driving DDS, Goodwill finished first as previously stated, Arias the Manteca Ag Teacher, whose students just achieved some great awards at the CA State Fair, was second. Morgan Hill’s hot rod, Rob Hammond was third. The Racing Farmer from Modesto, Ed Amador was fourth and Jeff Burrows also of Manteca was fifth.
