The second ASCC race took place on Friday and Saturday March 26^th and 27^th, at Speedworld Offroad Park in beautiful Surprise, Arizona. Action started Friday with practice and a trophy dash. With entries growing higher, but no to full potential due to the infamous MINT 400 race being the same weekend; wouldn’t stop racers and fans alike from having a great time and experiencing some of the most exciting short course action Arizona has seen. The trophy dash was 4 laps for each class, with Ron Dalke sweeping the win in the unlimited short course buggy class, and Kevin McCullough taking the win in the limited short course buggy class. Steve Arlia and Brian Cannon would both dominate the course with Arlia grabbing first in the stock truck class and Cannon taking first in the 1450 truck class.
