There was so much action going on last night at Motiva that I forgot some interesting stories.

First was Bobby Seals. Bobby has been the crew leader for the Russell Gosset team sprint #24. Well they were having power steering problems and did not make the heat. Their driver Robert Marfia drove his sons #6 to a win in his heat.

Bobby took the #24 out for a shake down in the Sprint main. He showed that he hasn't forgotten how a sprinter drives. He had it high, low, fast, slow and did just about everything a sprint car can do. It was fun to see this old timer showing us how its done.

Also in the sprints was the rookie Chris Perea in his #8 did a good job of keeping his nose clean in the heat and showing improvement. Sadly the main event was not as good to him, with a mild roll over. Chris, if you drive a sprinter you gotta get on your head at least once, or more just ask Robert Marfia.

In the A Mods, the four wide thingie I talked about when #71 of Derel Meek caught the ft wall was actually in the heat not the main. It was spectacular either way.

In the heat race I was noticing #45 of Todd Budlong entering turns by just letting off for a second and then going full throttle even before mid turn. It was fun to watch his left rear wheel move forward 6" each time. It takes a chassis engineer to figure these A Mods out.

In the Street Stocks I mentioned the return of #3 Mario Truden Sr. What I failed to tell you all is he did a slow roll over in turn one. He was going very fast trying to real in R C Combs and got high in the cushion and did not let off the gas and dropped the rear over the end of the track and put his orange #3 on it head. Thankfully no injury and it looks like the car will be able to return.

Here are the full results for all divisions. These results are UNOFFICIAL and we apologize for all errors.
