This month's D3 Hardbody races were a warm-up for the upcoming Hardbody Nats on October 29-30 at BPR.

A new racer, Bruce Frye, joined in the fun this month.
Several new cars for the recently introduced '80s NASCAR class were raced.

It was a fun race day (as usual) with a good turnout as many racers are making their final preparations on their cars for the big race in two weeks at BPR.

Thanks to Jim and Debby Watterson for their support of D3 Hardbody racing at Buena Park Raceway.

Thanks to our race directors: Victor Dubrowski, Hector Gonzalez, and Greg Carter.
