Money class. Smooth as glass, this youngster rides like a Pro. Sponsored by KLH Racing Presents, Bonsey was first off the start line and first to the finish. Behind him, there was plenty of bumping going on in the battle for the third spot, as Chris Canepa and Joseph Hernandez diced throughout the race: Canepa took third, behind runner-up Shawn Raggio. Mer walking away with the Vet A heat race, Clay Chambers finished the main event in the fourth spot. Chambers, winner of the District 35 2004 Vet black plate in this dass, also won the Vet A high-pointlTOphies in both the summer and winter series of 2004. Chambers got the radng bug when he was I I, watching Dick Mann and Ricky Graham on the San Jose Mile. When he convinced his mother to sign the waiver so he could race, he was lucky enough to learn and ride with Jerr Lowe, Ricky Graham, Ron Bereman and other local California dirt trackers. After years of riding, substance abuse took Chambers away from racing. In November of 1999, he began his I~e anew with the beginning of his sobriety. Upon his return to the dirt, aboard an ATK Rotax, Chambers found Club Moto in Livermore, California. Pushin' the cushion was Chambers' first love. Finding Clements Rodeo Grounds races was another blessing, as was finding the Tulare track. It took most of the 2003 season for him to get acquainted with the new Rota>< he purchased from Nick Moore. Chambers says he enjoys the "spiritual feeling" he gets when he's on a cushion track and appreciates that as much as winning. Grateful to be back aboard a steel horse, running it in deep in the cushion at the Chowchilla Barn Burner summer and winter series, Chambers thanks God, his parents, his sister Twister, and his number-one woman, Alma, for their support, as well as MGN·Sureway Trucking for his new leathers and Tuff Plates for his new number plates. Chambers celebrated his second Chowchilla championship five years to the day from the day he began to win his baule with drugs and alcohol. His dream of a lifetime was fulfilled when he received his number-one plate from Diaz Motorsports' Chowchilla Barn Burner Series while marking five years of sobriety. RESULTS so STK c: I.
