We are looking to build up our "past" results section for both the CRA and SCRA Sprint Cars. Any help is appreciated and can be emailed to us at [email protected].
In the past, we have purchased old programs and reference books. Some results have been sent to us. For history purposes- the more the better!!!! There is a whole generation that never went to Ascot, or saw the CRA Sprints in action
However, some of the results are incomplete. For example, here are some results from a CRA Sprint show, from Yuma, AZ on March 7, 1992.

NOTES: A rainout which turned into a day show, with rodeo like results, greeted the fans at Yuma. The rough track made for some entertaining rides by all drivers as they tried to harness their four wheel mounts around the 3/8 mile sun blistered track.
Lealand outlasted the track and the competition as he found his groove wherever the #91 car led him.
The Bromme Sprinter, driven by Billy Boat, made a valiant attempt to pass the eventual winner, but caught the wall in turn three late in the race, and flew softly over it to land on his cage. Billy was unhurt, but put on a whale of a show up until then.
Mike Kirby in the Danny Pivovaroff #59 made second place his home with a good drive.
Cary Faas went thru the pack at least twice, finally finishing sixth. (CRA Yearbook).
