ALVIS CLAIMS STEALTH CONTINGENCY AWARD
CONCORD, 
CA., SEPT. 6: Floyd Alvis, already assured of his sixth midget driving
 
championship with the Bay Cities Racing Association, also has come home the 
winner of the ten-race Stealth Contingency Award for BCRA car owners. The winner 
of the contingency program had the choice of a Stealth basic dirt kit, valued at 
$3,050.00, or one half off the price of a Stealth pavement deluxe kit, a 
$3,575.00 value. Alvis has elected to accept the pavement midget chassis kit. 
"This is really great. I've been running Stealths for a number of years, five or 
six of them. I've been very happy with Stealth over the years", Alvis stated. 
The special contingency program was instituted by Stealth Western States 
Distributor Marc DeBeaumont, headquartered in Concord, California. DeBeaumont 
came up with the contingency program to further promote his distribution 
business. The past BCRA and USAC champion competed in only a handful of races as 
a driver this season, electing instead to help new Stealth owners in setups at 
the racing venues. The contingency program included races at the Shasta 
Speedway, Reno-Fernley Raceway, Lakeport Speedway, Placerville Speedway and the 
Santa Maria Speedway, with two events at the Watsonville
Speedway 
and three at the Stockton "99" Speedway. The final eligible event was on August 
31 at the Stockton facility. Blind draws were administered with points earned in 
qualifying, heat races and main events, plus additional appearance points. Among 
the 35 car owners who participated, Alvis was perhaps the luckiest, almost 
always earning points for finishing positions that corresponded with the blind 
draw. The owners and divers did not know what positions had been drawn prior to 
the racing events. The Bay Cities Racing Association appreciates the contingency 
program instituted by Marc DeBeaumont and Stealth. TOP-FIVE POINTS: Floyd Alvis 
86, Jeff Trout 53, Bill Lindsey 52, Ken Molica 35, Alan Haugh 33.
