where can we order video from the West Coast series (or at least Santa Maria)

I'm interested in how Wes went from first to fourth?

(aside from a smooth talking speed salesman from down under)

Wes was under constant pressure from Peter Murphy and driving hard. The two put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field.

Gutierrez and Murphy were making their way through lapped traffic, when going into turn 2, contact with a back marker resulted in a spin / stop for the youngster.

With 17 laps down, Wes tagged the back of the field and with a determined drive, he finished 4th.

As far as videos, there is a track videographer, but I did not see his information on racesantamariaspeedway.com.

Gutierrez was having a great night until they tried to fit three black cars into space for two. He was fast in hot laps and surprised (almost) everyone when he knocked off fast time by a tenth as the last car out.

Until the website is published, you can try to contact mailto:[email protected] for videos. He had opening night DVDs for $10 each and planned for last night to be $10 also.

thanks

Just wanted to say Santa Maria hasn't been that fast in years.Great job on track prep. OHH and the Trophy girl was HOT!!!! I just had to add that.

STOMP AND STEER!!!!

"Hot" is a understatement
