Petaluma, CA - April 16th
A warm weathered weekend brought the Winged 360’s, Spec Sprints, Super Stocks, Dwarfs, and 600’s to the Adobe 3/8th’s mile at Petaluma Speedway. The Pit Stop USA Winged 360’s fielded 16 cars. Brett Rollag went straight to the top of the charts in qualifying with a time of 13.071. This would set up a 2 heat race format, with “Mr. Excitement” Andy Forsberg and David Lindt picking up heat race victories. The 30 lap A Main would not disappoint. Bradley Terrell and Geoff Ensign would lead the field to the green with Geoff taking the lead. A couple of early yellows would restack the field with Forsberg coming to the front after starting mid pack. Forsberg would eventually make the pass for the lead on lap 13 but Ensign wasn’t done yet. On lap 15, Ensign would make the pass on Forsberg going into 3 but Forsberg’s night would come to an end after going through the whoops in turns 3 and 4 and end up into the outside wall. 10 laps remained in the winged 360 race and the race kept getting better and better. With 3 to go, Terrell would make the winning pass on Ensign to on and go back to back at Petaluma with Ensign, Rollag, Trent Canales, and Shane Myre rounding out the top 5.
A dozen Pit Stop USA Spec Sprints signed into the pits with Klint Simpson on top of the charts after qualifying. Terry Schank Jr. and Simpson picked up heat race victories. This would set up a great spec sprint main event. Shank would take the lead early on in the main event. Joe Stornetta would start to climb through the field. Mid way through the race, Stornetta would put a slide job on Schank to take the lead but 2 laps later, motor problems would have Stornetta pull into the infield and would end his night. Shank would pull away from the field and he would also go back to back at Petaluma with Simpson, Brett Barney, Cody Fendley, and Shayna Silvia making up the top 5.
