portunity, stuck his nose in, and made it past Williams as Freese followed suit! Williams made some progress in the Pre Final, and pressed past Freese while Farley continued to lead the pack of seven drivers! Farley felt Williams on his bumper and worked hard to shake him throughout their 15 lap Main Event and brought every spectator to their feet for the white flag lap!! It was Williams, Farley; Farley, Williams, and just as Williams had taken the lead again, it looked like he would be the one leaving with a win!! As Williams and Farley rounded the second to last turn before the checkered flag, Williams made an error that sent him into the barriers and out of the race!!! A truly heartbreaking ending to the day for Williams and a bittersweet victory for Farley, Freese and Roberts!! Each driver should be extremely proud of themselves; they demonstrated some amazing skill and built the excitement to an all time high for Round 6 in Davis!! TaG Sr/ TaG Master

All drivers previously absent for the past few rounds of racing, it was great to see Coy Collins and Rich Schwarzenbach make it out for the TaG Senior class!

Forte got a little tired of staring at the their bumpers and regained his first place position just in time for the Main Event, but Rich Schwarzenbach saw a way in and dominated the win over Collins for the TaG Seniors! Forte, however, held off Ron Schwarzenbach for the win and hopes are high to see these classes in round 6!! Clone Sr.

The 5th round of racing for the Clone Sr class was expected to be a battle to the bitter end, and with former champ Luis Tyrrell a no show, the top spot was open and all eyes were locked on it!! Geoff Shaw wasted no time as he laid out a 46.883 Qualifying time, one tenth ahead of Jonathon Leach, and just two tenths faster than Harrison Mills! Shaw worked hard to hold off the 15 drivers behind him, but Rob Nascimento, Austin Elliott, Brian Hill, and Mills made it hard for Shaw to forget they were there! As the Clones rounded out their Pre Final, R. Nascimento found
