Doug Nunes wins in Placerville - May 10, 2008

BCRA Vintage 2008 Opener
Mother Nature and BCRA bumped heads on Friday's practice day at Shasta Raceway Park in Anderson, California. BCRA put up a good battle but you can not mess with Mother Nature. The rain was just enough to wet the track and stop practice. Rick Faeth, the new promoter, and his crew (all volunteers by the way) put up a valiant effort to keep the track dry but as the day went on they lost the battle late in the day. Saturday started sunny but windy and cold but no rain and the show went on as planned.

The BCRA vintage car count was fantastic for the season opener for 2008 with 10 Vintage Midgets. Norm Hall and his bride Carol made their first vintage event. Norm has been resurrecting this K.K. V8-60 for about four or five years. He is almost there. Greg Vroman and crew towed their # K.K. Offy all the way from Reno through snow and rain only to find a problem with their mag. Harold Dickerson and his crew his son Dan and crew chief Roger had a minor problem with his beautiful # 37 Shalila Ford Falcon Six and had it corrected by time to go on the track. Charlie Wacker and his driver Jon McLain brought Charlies beautiful K.K # 7 Offy. Doug Shanoian and family brought the famous Art Shanoian # 17 Benson Offy. Paul Farajian brought his # 98 Kane Chevy II and had more mag. problems. Tommy Belfiore brought his # 16 Edmonds Chevy II with a fresh motor. Gil and Bob and Tommy had a few minor bugs to work out.
Paul & June Ferreria brought their beautiful # 1 Kane Chevy II. Stu brought his # 85 Benson Chevy II and hired Rick Faeth (promoter) as his shoe for the night. Stu will do what ever it takes to keep the BCRA vintage in good with the track promoter. The vintage members were treated great and had more track time than we normally are offered. I know all the vintage members are eager to return to Shasta.

Rick Faeth is the new Shasta Raceway promoter and he is doing a fantastic job. He is working hard to make improvements the track and keep all the racers happy and especially put on a good show for the fans. All BCRA members want to wish him the best of luck and much success.

The next Vintage date is April 19th at Kings speedway in Hanford. Don't forget to pre-register on the BCRA web page and Linda will bring a list of vintage members for me and the pit gate to use. We also have been invited to Ukiah for the July 4th weekend. This is a two day event Friday 4th and Saturday 5th and it is not on the printed schedule cards. It is listed on the BCRA web site vintage schedule. So mark your calendar for that weekend.

See ya at Hanford on the 19th of April.
