SCRA GROUP LOOKS FORWARD TO BARONA RUN
by Robert Mayson

LAKEWOOD, CA., APRIL 27 --   The NAPA Auto Parts / Auto Trader Magazines
Sprint Car Racing Association (SCRA) tour hopes for better weather this Saturday
night, May 1st, when the series returns to Barona Speedway Park (Ramona).

Rain forced the cancellation of the SCRA's first ever Barona appearance two weeks ago.  However, there was not a cloud in the sky when Rickie Gaunt (Torrance) stormed his way to victory last Saturday (April 24th) at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare.  It was an impressive night for Gaunt, who started the program by being the fastest qualifier before gathering his tenth career SCRA main event win. 

The victory was also the first for car owner Tony Smiley (Buckeye, AZ). Smiley's other car, driven by  Arizona sprint car champion Charles Davis, Jr. (Buckeye, AZ), finished second.  Davis, who set fast and finished sixth in the April 1st race at Tulare, sits second in series points behind his teammate Gaunt (164 to 146).

Steve Ostling, Corona, made his debut in the Harlan Willis sprinter last week and finished fourth behind Australian driver Peter Murphy.  Seventeen year old Alan Ballard (Bakersfield) finished sixth and is now third in the season point standings (96).
