After leading several laps and ending up on the tow hook after suffering a late race flat tire the week before in Antioch, Visalia's Greg Bragg masterfully chauffeured Dave & Wendy Thurston's #11 TNT RaceSports Spike/Esslinger to the win on the red clay of Placerville Speedway on Saturday, August 4.
Lining up third on the grid in the BCRA Hall of Famer Thurston's mount, Bragg waited patiently before getting by Alamo's Scott Pierovich on Lap 14. With thunder in the background and light drizzle hitting the track, Bragg turned on the lightning, taking
the one second win over Pierovich in Mike Sala's #19s Spike/Wirth Mopar, former BCRA champion Matt Streeter in his #14jr Spike/Chevy, Bakersfield's Sean Dodenhoff in his #9d Spike/Fontana and Pleasanton's Pete Davis in the HotHead Heaters #00 Stealth/Esslinger rounding out the Top five on the "totally wingless" night, of which was preceded in the day by BCRA's 25th Annual Jack London Bash Picnic and Hall of Fame at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.
Oakdale's Danny Parker claimed sixth in Bob Roza's #21 Spike/Esslinger followed by Oregon's Rob Lindsey in the Lindsey Motorsports #23 Ellis/Pontiac, 7-time BCRA champion "Ageless Wonder" Floyd Alvis in his #18 Stealth/Esslinger, Bill Lindsey in Stu Donaldson's #8 Stealth/Pontiac and Carson City, Nevada's J.R. Williams in his #74 Spike/Brayton Chevy finalizing the Top 10 positions. Seventh through tenth were one lap down at the finish.
Stockton's Johnathan Henry absolutely dominated Heat 1 in Mike Sala's #19w Spike/Wirth Chevy, moving from eighth starting spot to the lead within a lap and a half en rote to a nearly five-second win over Bill Lindsey, Gary Conterno, Alvis and Davis.
Streeter claimed Heat 2 over Dodenhoff, Bragg and Pierovich.
