CRA 1 AM RACE RESULTS

When only 20 cars showed and one was gone before the heats it didn't leave much optimism for the main event this week, but.... When David Miller had two motors on the front row of the main, his J Hicks ride with Bill Rose in that seat, and Eric Severson with a borrowed Miller motor, things looked good for the car owner. Eric led the first ten laps before he had a problem, then Ripper took the point and kept it warm for the Cowboy Jones until Tony Made his move on lap 24 and went on to win his first of the year. Another out of seat experience, a spinning stop that sent photogs scurrying and a wall climbinbg like the good old days were part of the celebration by the 2007 USAC/CRA Champion. A good race and effort by many, so more on that when I get some rest. night all.
