Chris McArthur & Mark Chuhaloff make Saturday Debut

Chris McArthur shown sporting his new Agromin PowerMix colors for Camland Motorsports. Chris travels all the way from Scottsdale, AZ, where the Canadian native take residence, to race with the Camland team. We are glad to have Chris aboard. With a little better luck next time, Chris is a "shoe-in" to win a main event this year.

Mark Chuhaloff started the year out in his brand new 10c car and was about as fortunate as Chris in the main event. Both drivers were running in the top 5 and were taken out by other cars to end the night. Mark had a great car and was working his way to the front. We were excited to see two of our drivers battling up front. But, that's the way it goes. Better luck next time.

Rob Kershaw & Bill Camarillo Start in Ventura's 1st Main Event of 2006

After a long awaited first race of the 2006 season, Rob Kershaw had a fun packed night. Rob raced the #26 Ford Focus Midget to 5th in the Main Event. He also pulled double duty by running in his #26 VRA Sprint Car. With all the stress and hard work of helping his two sons (Cody and Dakota) start their racing debut, Rob managed to win his heat race and transfer to the main event. Unfortunately, Rob was not able to avoid the parked car of #15 Trimble and was taken out early in the race. We know he had a top 5 car and would have finished well.

Bill Camarillo, who did not intend to even run this year, found his way into the main event. After starting 8th in his heat race, Bill managed to finish 3rd which earned him a 10th starting position in the main event. With a lot of luck and patiences and a great car set up by Wayne Pardini, Bill managed to finish 6th in the main event. Our best opening night finish ever.

Brian Camarillo pulls double duty

Brian Camarillo in his first race of the 2006 season pulls double duty by racing in the 40c Ford Focus and the 22c VRA Sprint Car. I would have to say it was a successful night, since both cars rolled on the trailer in one piece. We are looking forward to Brian running for Rookie of the Year in both the sprint car and the Focus Midget. He will be getting some extra laps in this weekend a the PAS with the USAC/CRA boys. We are hoping he gets a chance to experience the awesomeness of Perris Auto Speedway.

Who Is Dakota Kershaw?

Let me tell you who is Dakota Kershaw - he is the first VRA Junior Ford Focus Main Event Winner!!! Dakota (left of his brother Cody) put on the most impressive first race a driver could. For never having raced a midget before or anything with four wheels - - you would have never known. He made mom and dad very proud. As for the rest of the Camland/Kershaw Motorsports gang, we are excited to have him aboard. We expect to see alot more from Dakota this year. Congratulation Dakota on such a fine performance.
