Contested on the Flat track at Buena Park Raceway, 3 races had the first two cars just a few feet apart at the finish. The 4th race was a runaway compared to the others with just one lap separating the first two racers.
Thanks to Jim and Debby Watterson for their support of hardbody racing at BPR.
Thanks to our race directors: Victor Dubrowski, Keith Tanaka, Paul Sterrett and Ken Dylke.
