Southwestern Int'l Raceway
Rishton Whips 'em
June 12, 1999 (Tucson, AZ): 1999 is
shaping up to be anything but status quo. The new blood coming into CIFCA are giving the
veterans a run for their money.
A total of 15 teams showed up at Southwestern Int'l
Raceway which produced a top notched 8 car field. Robert Lee led qualifying but
surprisingly failed to make the first round call. He has taken over the points lead by a
slim margin.
 Veteran
Tony and Lori Rishton found the right combination to produce a string of 7.60's passes to
send the competition packing. They defeated relatively newcomer Chill Scardino in the
final round. The Rishtons also pocketed the Perma-Cool Burnout Challenge $100 bonus.
A few of the major upsets were first round losses by
Mike Hilsabeck and Jimmy Scott (7.49 & 7.48 breakouts, respectively). Gary and Sean
Dale, who came into this race with the points lead, failed to qualify.
 This race was one of the finest in CIFCA's 15
year history. It was ran on schedule with consistent side-by-side racing. The rookies are
hanging tough with the veterans which should result in a very interesting season.
