CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

It was really a "Big Balls Battleground" at Perris this week as Rickie Gaunt started it with a Monster slide job on David Cardey at the first turn corner and finshed it with one ahead of Danny Sheridan to get his first win of the year. There were so many more manly moves during the thirthy lap main, that it was hard to figure who was next. In between some great driving by Cardey, Sheridan and a few more who took turns with thier version of the whoopie shot that Gaunt turned into a winner. Several crashes marred the feature, the worst looking was a tie between Tyler Brownd end over end over etc., and the ride Cardey took after a racing incident between him and Danny as they both were fighting hard for the win. More when I wake up! It's 2:30 and the main ran til 11, so nighty nite.
