STILLWATER,
OKLAHOMA June 5th 2005: On a sunny
Sunday morning at Lake Carl Blackwell, the SCWP
staff geared up for race thee of the Texas
Championship Jet Sport Tour. At 9:00 am sharp,
Chris Codina, Race Director called for his morning
mandatory riders meeting. As the staff took to
their positions, the smell and sound of race fuel
and pounding motors took over the air waves. As the
fans and spectators lined up to cheer on the racers,
race one slowly approached the line. At the snap of
the band, the race was on.
As race 5
(1200 limited class) took to the track, Vaca
piloting the coca-cola sponsored Yamaha GP1200R took
a commanding lead early in moto one to finish 1st
followed by team mate Jimmy Parshal finishing
second. In moto two, Vaca was not so lucky
suffering from a broken throttle linkage as they
approached the first turn.
During race
9 (amateur 1200 open) moto one, Vaca trailed team
mate Jimmy Parshal finishing 3rd. As
they approached the first turn in moto two, Vaca
suffered yet another motor malfunction putting him
at the back of the pack having to work his way up to
the front. With only 6 laps, Vaca was not able to
regain his position and finished third.
Vaca still
leads the region as the overall points champion with
128 in Amateur R/A 1300 open and 133 Novice R/A 1300
