Race 8

 Joe had a  another  great night of racing after restarting from the rear of  the field after the first main event , Joe got into the back of another  driver and spun  him, the officials (by rule)  sent Joe to the rear of 16 car field on the first of  twin main events last night.

Joe drove the Horn Industrial , MIM , Titian , Wahl Traction car  from the rear of  the 16 car field to 5th in the first main event.
The 2nd main event  had Joe starting 3rd and took the lead on lap 1, but , eventually the cars with more horsepower passed Joe on lap lap 12, At one point Joe had a entire straight away lead on 2nd, Joe said he was trying to run away as fast as possible , but we could not  hold off the big power cars.
Joe finished 5th and 3rd.
Joe's car is bad fast  and the handling is superior to any car in the field , Thanks to Sonny Whal at www.Whaltraction.com  
We just lack a little horsepower in order to get our car into victory lane .   

The first 35-lap feature was off to a rousing start as Beasley grabbed the lead from pole sitter Romain Thievin on the opening green flag. It didn’t end there as Chris Clyne raced three-wide through Turn 3 with Thievin and Joe Deguevara. The field finally took a breather on lap 2 when Dee Cable and Mark Allison crashed on the back straightaway. It took a while to complete the first five laps of the feature until the drivers finally settled into a rhythm. Defending champion Scott Gafforini wrestled second place from Thievin as Beasley distanced himself from the field. Beasley cruised to victory, followed by Gafforini and Thievin. Stan Mullis, enjoying one of his strongest runs of the season, finished fourth and Deguevara – always solid at the Bullring – completed the top five.            Second 35-lap feature: Joe Deguevara took the lead from polesitter David Anderson to lead the first lap as Jay Beasley, Scott Gafforini and Steve Anderson raced three-wide into Turn 3. Beasley moved into second place on lap 7 and took off in pursuit of Deguevara. Beasley caught “Joe D” in Turn 3 on lap 12 and took the lead. Gafforini tried to catch Beasley but was just 1.038 sec. short at the checkered flag. Deguevara finished third and Chris Clyne was fourth. Steve Anderson was fifth.
