checkered flag to fly in the Main Event!! That was a close one, great driving!! World Formula
With a return of the World Formula class, ten drivers made their way out to Marina to be a part of the WKA West Super Series’ fifth round of racing! Trevor Agan put his best foot forward, with a 44.905 in Qualifying, Guy Gentry checked in off pole with a 45.093, and Tyler Agan making third a 45.368!! Tyler Agan battled his way in front on Gentry, to sit on the grid for the first Heat session, just behind his brother Trevor Agan. Mat Kattanek pushed his way in the top group for the start of the Pre Final, trailed closely by Taylor Young! Trevor and Tyler Agan remained 1 and 2 for the Pre Final and through the Main Event, leaving for the day with their finishing order intact. Kattanek made his way to top out the top three, but was shut out by Derek Jorge in the Main Event!! Hope to see these guys make their way out more often for our races!!
In the final class of the day, these six drivers proved that they save the best for last and Michael Grossi set his hot time of the day at a 49.114, seven tenths ahead of Josh Finkelstein in Qualifying! M. Grossi held off fellow competitors Jason Cohick and David Johnson in the first Heat session and M. Grossi continued this trend throughout the day, hitting the road with a first place win coming home with him! Cohick and J. Finkelstein battled it out throughout the day, with Anthony Grossi as leader of the back pack of the Clone Sumo class!! J. Finkelstein saw a way past Cohick, got by, and slammed the door in Cohick’s face as he locked in his second place win!! Cohick walked away with a third place trophy in hand, David Johnson with a fourth place win, and Gary Filpvla rounded out the top five!!

Formula 80 Masters/80 Senior
The winds in Marina sure were picking up as the day was winding down, and Colin Katzakian made it known that he was up for the challenge with a 41.736, fast lap for the three Formula 80 Senior drivers, and Chuck Hastings in with a 42.420 for the remaining three Formula 80 Master drivers. Katzakian took the hole shot to the outside leaving Jon Ban to fall in behind him in the first Heat session. Hastings felt the pressure that Jerry Campos brought, and it was anyone’s race! Katzakian maintained his hold over Ban for the Main Event, and Connor Solis put in some work to catch them, but just was not able to get by them for the Formula 80 Senior finish!! Hastings was a DNS for the Main, and Campos took home the win for the Formula 80 Master finish followed by Adam Gavalla!! Great to see so many shifter drivers in for the win!!
