The Team Double Down endurance team captain now leads themiddleweightclass with 60 poiius. AFM Champion, Walter Nino faced off again in Superbike A with local top gun, Kelly Byrd.

Faria takes two at Ascot Spdwy By Scott Daloisio GARDENA, CA, SEPT. 4 Unfortunately for his competition Mike Faria failed to make either main at IMS on Wednesday evening so he arrived at Chris Agajanian's Ascot South Bay Stadium with a point LO prove on Thursday. Faria proved his point by winning bom the Scratch and Handicap mains in a sparkling performance. The Handicap main sparked controversy in the pits when a controversial call was made late in the race. Leader Billy Hamill, Bart Bast and Andy Northrup all went down and out came·the red. Normally the race would have been called complete with the rider who was deemed to be the cause kicked out. Instead the entire race was re-run with a full re.start. Faria came from the back yardage on the restart and styled his way around the competition. He got by Andy Northrup on the back chute for third on lap two. Faria (Shoei/TsubakilOilzall/George Wenn/Cody Products Jawa) then cut to Lhe inside' and with a preuy move he swept under Bart Bast for second as they closed lap two. The fans were roaring by now and went wild as Faria took the lead from Billy Hamill in turn three on the third circuit. John Cook also got by Hamill, but it was too late as Faria was gone for the win. Cook ended up setond while Rob Pfetzing, who passed Bast out of the final bend, got third. The Scratch main saw Faria get the gate from the pole, but he was passed on the back straightaway on lap one by John Sandona. It was then business as usual as Faria took the point posi tion before the end of the lap. Sandona stayed close the remainder of the way until Faria put four bike lengths between .them on the final lap. Third went to Keith Chrisco while Cook took fourth.
