STIDHAM WINS AT HANFORD
by Gary Jacob
April 2, 2005 - Hanford, CA -- In an all green 30 lap feature, Craig Stidham posted a $1500 win in the Rebel Winged 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday night at Kings Speedway. Stidham had timed in sixth quick and fifth quick Lawrence Edlund chased Stidham to the checkered flag for the $1000 runnerup prize. Edward is driving for Davey Key in 2005. Fresh off a Petaluma win, young Robert Ballou was a $650 third and Andy Ferris ran fourth.

Garrett Ishii was quickest of the 13 Rebel Winged 360 sprint cars in time trials on the 3/8 mile clay oval with a 13.968 clocking. Tommy Tarlton was the only other car in the 13s at 13.985 and Brian Coelho ranked third with his 14.008. Ferris ran a 14.140 and Edlund a 14.206. Stidham was sixth quick at 14.210. Monty Ferreira won the first heat race in front of Peter Murphy and Key as Ishii ran fourth. Young Jeff Delte was the heat 2 winner ahead of Stidham, Ballou and Ferris. Ricci Faria was 7th quick but missed the call for his heat race and tagged the feature. The all green feature found Stidham winning ahead of Edlund, Ballou, Ferris, Tarlton, Murphy, Delte, Faria and Coelho as Ishii ran 10th.

On April 9, the Bandit unwinged 360 sprint cars return to join the Rebel Winged 360 sprint cars, IMCA Modifieds and Hot Stocks in action.
