Faria had a wild get orr on the Ha nd icap side of th e program, but that did not hinder the slender 29-year-old on the Scratch side as he ca p tu red all three of his . races incl ud in g the main event. It was another chi lly evening in the high desert, but the racing was spectacu lar and kept th e fans on the edge of their seats a ll night, Faria, coming off a second place finish the previous night at Costa Mesa, was second out of the gate fro m ine number three position at the stan of the main event, but as the pack came off turn two on lap one he chopped down in Iront of Rob P fetzing and it was clea r sai ling the remainder of the wa y. The tra ck su rface was much improved over th e first week and was very much lO the liking of Faria (Shoei/j10 ilza ll/ Oa k ley / H i-Poi n t/Cody Prod ucts / Ka l- Ga rd / Ts u ba k i/G eo rge -Wen n j a wa ).
