Jacob “the Hawk” Hawkins does it again

The AMMA?s return to Canyon Speedway Park for Race #11 of our 25 race season had a great turn-out of 27 cars, and none were faster than the #8 Hyper driven by Jacob Hawkins. “The Hawk” moved up from his 5th starting position to reel in yet his second win of the year. Brandon George in his #17 Pace Chassis led most of the 20 lap Main Event but had to finish 2nd right in front of 3rd place Josh Shipley in his #99 Pace Chassis. The AMMA would like to thank all of the racers that attended this event and a special thanks to our newest members, Chad Lansberry of San Diego, CA, Josh Castro of Peoria and Larry Gibson of Phoenix. The AMMA will be returning to USA Raceway in Tucson on June 6th for Race 12. Hope to see you there.

It was just a matter of time… Jacob Hawkins in his #8 Chad Fife owned Hyper Chassis with a Honda 600cc powerplant pulled out a spectacular win in Race #8 at Tucson, AZ on Saturday night over a fast charging #34 1000cc of Kurt Stults owned by Ted Williams. Jake Fife, the Main Wrench on the #8 could not have made their car any better as Jacob held the top spot for the entire race. Hard Charger of the race, Kurt Stults, who started in position #10, wasted no time dicing through the field in his effort to catch the “Hawk” and made it a very exciting race right down to the finish line. The night started out with a field of 18 Modified Midgets on a very fast track. Heat Race #1 was won by the #61 Pace Chassis of “Flying” Matt Jackson with Heat Race #2 going to the #34 of Kurt Stults.
