SARALE NEW BCRA MIDGET CHAMPION.....
MESERAULL TAKES PACIFIC NORTHWEST MIDGET CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE
SEPT. 24: In an eventful evening of racing three champions were
crowned and a racing season was finished unexpectedly at the Shasta Raceway
Park in Anderson, CA.!
As the fourth and final race of the Pacific Northwest Midget Championship
went into the record books in the co-sanctioned Bay Cities Racing
Association and Washington Midget Racing Association, it was Thomas
Meseraull taking the series championship honors, and, partly because of
circumstances, John Sarale became the newest BCRA driving and car owner
champion with Meseraull second. Although not a participant, Rick Moss became
a ten-time champion in WMRA. The WMRA run for second between Brea Lopez,
Dallas Melby and Rob Lindsey was so close that the outcome was not known at
this writing.
