Brian Camarillo took his first VRA 360 Sprint Car race win of the new season Saturday night March 24.He came from the third starting spot to lead the majority of the laps Saturday night. Near the end of the race, Troy Rutherford got by him for a lap but Camarillo came back to pass Rutherford to get his first win of 2012.The night saw two heat races run, with wins going to Guy Woodward in the Extreme Muffler Heat One and Brian Camarillo in the Kaeding Performance Heat Two. Rutherford's second place keeps him out front in the season long battle to see who will be VRA Champ in 2012 by 85 points over Saturday's winner Camarillo.

IMCA Modifieds resumed their 2012 season with a sixteen car field.Austin Rodarte took the 20 lap feature win followed by his brother 2011 series champ Aaron Rodarte, Jack Parker, Josh Vogt, Bryan Clark and Gary Curtis.Heat race wins went to Jack Parker in the Extreme Muffler Heat One and Austin Rodarte.in the Speedway Engineering Heat Two Gary Curtis finished 6th and took the season point lead by 3 points over Austin Rodarte and by 5 points over Aaron Rodarte and Wayne Heurung.

18 car Sprint Main ,4 drivers Seniors and 4 cars finished 30 laps. Ventura Raceway has always told the drivers "if you don't like the rules here go race somewhere else" AND THEY DID !!!!!!

Cars were lapped..... Do you think only 4 cars finished the race? LOL

Camarillo, Rutherford, Woodward and Smith were the only drivers that finished 30 laps as I stated in my post. The Main Event results are at the top of this page.

It doesn't take long to get lapped when you string out 19 cars nose to tail on a quater mile track. And out of respect to the fast guys out front, some of us get out of the way. It's great that "if you don't like racing at Ventura, you can go somewhere else", and that there is that somewhere else. Some of us don't have that option, and have to support the track (Ventura). At least we have the option to recover some of our expenses. Things may or may not be done right to everyone's liking at Ventura, but as of now- there's one more place to race!

Wally Pankratz was not a start and park, he had contact with another driver and had to leave the track. How can you call a race if you weren't there?

Do you ever get tired of listening to yourselves whine?
