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).

Here is another little known fact about the race. During the red flag in the main event, Mike Kirby pulled into the work area with a hole in his radiator. We took the bubble gum that his wife, Becky, was chewing, shoved it in the hole, added some water and Mike drove the wheels off it and brought home a second place.

Oh man, I remember that race. My floor pan got shoved all the way up, and I had no brakes. I also remember not being able to remove my hands from the steering wheel from holding on for dear life, and almost getting upside down every lap. Anyways, I am sitting in a Hotel here in Tuscon AZ. getting ready to race tomorrow at a track I have never seen, talk about last minute descion, I just coulden't wait until Chili Bowl. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

I couldn't find a room in Yuma so I stayed over night in El Centro. It seems that their was a ladies professional bowling tournament going on and the San Diego Padres spring training camp to use up the motel rooms locally. The rain came down just as Steve Ostling took the flag for time trials. It was a pretty steep hill to get out of the pits and it was so slick that a few teams opted to just leave the trailers in the pits over night. I still have my program and a copy of the video. The tracks at the stadium off road races are smoother than what they raced on that day.
