Cottage Grove, Oregon- Saturday, September 7th hosted the second night of action for the Dwarf Cars. It was an event which three clubs were in attendance including the Northwest Dwarf Cars, Southern Oregon Dwarf Car Association, and Pacific Hardtop Racing Association. A total of twenty-seven entries filled up the pit area at the famed ¼-mile clay oval.
Camden Robustelli picked up from where he left off from the night before by grabbing the initial lead. The only stoppage of the main event was a red flag incident on lap three. Robustelli retained the position after the restart. However, he would be overtaken on the twelfth lap.
The driver to take over the role as the new race leader was Josh King. King, of Central Point, checked out the rest of the distance and dominated. It is the second win for him at CGS this year and the tenth overall victory of his season.
Camden Robustelli was second while Justin DeMars, of Sandy, got third. The rest of the top five consisted of fourth finishing Kalvin Morton, from Medford and racing for car owner Paul Haslow, and Portland’s Ryan Martinez, in fifth.
Earlier in the night, four heat races were run. Winners in those events were Molalla veteran Henry Corbin III, Kalvin Morton, Camden Robustelli, and Josh King. Jimmy Brinster, of St. Helens, won the consolation feature.
The next race for the Northwest Dwarf Cars is this Saturday, September 14th at Willamette Speedway. The SODCA make their final trip to Southern Oregon Speedway this coming Saturday. The PHRA takes next week off before their last race of the season at Madras Speedway in Central Oregon.
