The So Cal .5 Pro Lite Series Race 3 and 4 of the 2019 season are now history. Race 3 on Saturday had mild temperatures but due to windy conditions the race was ran in a 1/8th mile format, on Sunday the wind would not be an issue and competition returned to the 1/4 mile.
Race #3 Pro Class:
The semi- finals would see John Guinn and his 02 Chevy Camaro square off against Merle Williams and his 55 Shoebox Chevy, at the top end Guinn`s car got loose and he had to let off to save it giving Williams the win and a spot in the finals. On the other side of the ladder it would be Steve Cox getting the win in the semi`s. After five grueling rounds of competition the final saw Cox and Williams battle it out with Williams coming out on top.

Race #4 Pro Class:
After racer Rick Champlin received a bye run that put him straight into in the final round of Sundays .5 Pro class race, the other half of the ladder was set when Frank Scorcia and his Pontiac threw down a .003 reaction time to defeat John Guinn and his 02 Chevy Camaro, this would be Guinn`s second appearance in the Semi Finals of the weekend. When it came to crunch time Rick Champlin would prevail as the winner when Scorcia got little to anxious and turned on the red bulb in the Pro class finals.
