Sept. 21, 2004 Braid dominates the CPSA Pro Street Class in his first weekend of actual competition. Dal Sangha hits the wall with his cool Mustang.
Job Rite Auto Street Legal two day event at Mission Raceway was a very cool deal with both Friday Night and Saturday Night run under the lights. The CPSA was on hand for qualifying as well, and they ran their eliminations on Sunday. (The Job Rite part of the story is in the import zone) Very few delays happened Friday and Saturday had one fairly major oil down, but Sunday eliminations for the CPSA, as well as the one day MRP Summit bracket event was a day from hell, starting with a 90 minute delay in the morning due to oil downs and then a couple more in the afternoon. But the worst event of the day was the unfortunate crash of Pro Street star
Dal Sangha. Driving his 7 second turbo charged 5.0 litre Mustang, he got loose and drifted left in the right lane and then got into the marbles near the centre line. He tried to correct and then went sideways, sashayed in both lanes until he hit the left lane wall hard at the 1000 foot mark Luckily, Dal was not hurt to bad other than a slight bell ringing and a sore left arm. The car looks bad but it appeared it was mostly cosmetic. I will try and have an update in the next day or two on Dal's condition and the prognosis on the cool 'Stang. On a good note Glen Braid ran a career best 7.26 to qualify #1. He made two 7.30 laps as well. Glen breezed through eliminations and met Ron Crookshank in the final round. The final was all Glen, as Ron had a water leak on the starting line, giving Glen the easy single. In the other classes: 12.50 W - Gabe Boran .218/12.626/107.56 10.50 W - Jason Gibson .176/10.550/129.87 Real Street W - Mark Kroutz .111/9.748/139.55
