Who says Friday the 13th is unlucky? Two races in a row, Jimmy Wood has taken the Pro Dash and Pro Main at Round 5 of the Southern California Flat Track Association short track races at Perris Raceway.
Even the unusual Friday night date still drew full field in Pro, Vet and Open Amateur classes. It seems that the only way he doesn’t take home all the money is if he doesn’t make it to the races because he’s at another race somewhere else! Joe Winston also had a repeat performance of the last race with a solid win in the Vet class. And nobody left the track during the races with any more than bumps and bruises.
Friday night races in Southern California are difficult to make, since weekend “rush hour” traffic can start as early as noon, making it tough to get to the track. With this in mind, practice and racing was held later to allow stragglers time to get to the track in time for at least one session of practice. Another advantage of a delayed start was lower temperatures and a setting summer sun.
