Pursley had everyone covered until he blew a right front tire coming off
turn 2 and broke something in the right front suspension. Koch briefly
grabbed the lead from Vidovich on the restart, but Auggie drove back by
him and went unchallenged throughout. Brennan Newberry was running
second with three laps to go when he lost power coming off turn 2.
Newberry was really fast but he couldn't pass lapped traffic as well as
Vidovich could and Auggie pulled away.

It's Auggie Vidovich's first career West Series win, although I'm pretty
sure he had a lot of success in the old Elite Division series.

Black Koch gets his best career finish in 2nd; it's his 10th West Series
top ten in his 20th career start.

Brett Thompson gets his 20th top five in his 97th career start.

Moses Smith gets his 10th top five in 47 career starts, his 2nd of the
season.

Chris Johnson finishes a career-best 5th, and made it two James
Cass-owned cars in the top five.

Timmy Hill and Dusty Davis finish in the top 10 in their first career
West Series starts.

Talon, yes, Auggie had a ton of success in the old Southwest Series. He
was the 2003 champ, won eleven times
(http://www.thethirdturn.com/wiki/Auggie_Vidovich).

Turns out, in the grandest irony in recent memory, this was the last
ever race for Team Cass Motorsports. Despite winning in one car and
finishing 5th in the other, they announced the following week they were
selling their assets.

Team Cass came back for the All Star Showdown with Jason Fensler running
the same car that Vidovich won with and he was running third when he
spun Darrell Wallace Jr. under caution and hit the wall and then was
caught up in Derek Thorn's accident later and totaled the car.

Just rewatched this race. Man I love my home track so much. Been saving
some money to hopefully purchase a legend car or anything else available
that I can run at the track.

@6 - make sure your money includes enough for a really good helmet and
other safety gear.

Does Irwindale still run Enduros? If you're into the mechanical side of
things, that might give you more opportunity to learn. Legends are, by
design, pretty limited on what you can adjust. OTOH, if you just want to
drive, get a Legend with a sealed 1250 engine and you'll minimize the
non-driving stuff you need to worry about (of course you'll still have
to get caster, camber, toe, weights, etc right).

@7 yes Irwindale does run Enduro races as well as skid races when i can
literally pull a car from the junkyard take off it's rear tires and race
with only the two front wheels (lots of fun to watch!) I think a Legend
car would be a great way for me to start out as you said it doesn't take
as much to maintain on the mechanical side to get my feet wet.

Mike Hogewood and Phil Parsons were the commentators. Bernadette
Sanicola was the sole pit road reporter.
