We all had a great time, it was a big hit with everyone. We will be planning a return trip for next years event.
Cygen had a great time and really enjoyed racing with everyone. He asked my wife this morning if we could go and do it again next week.
He enjoyed hanging out with Sean and of course playing the DS. it was great for him to race with some kids that were closer to his age.
For Me is was a great time and I was surprised with the result that I got. I've seen a big improvement in the last year, and it sure translated into these races. I especially enjoyed the Modified pan car class, My car was hooking up and I had speed to spare. My MR-02 was hooking up well and was nice and smooth to drive. F1 on the other hand was giving me some trouble and I just didn't have the time to adjust for it, so I just had to deal with what it was, it wasn't bad, but wasn't great either.
Luke had a great showing with his pan car winning the B Main,and Russ managed to squeek into the A main over Luke by a very small margin (less than half a second). Chad was also have some grip issues with his F1 but managed to make the A main.
There was some really tight racing all the way down the board. Top 3 (Shannon, Paul, and Myself) in pan car qualified within 2.39 seconds of each other. (I managed to grab TQ with 28 laps in 5:01.33).
MR-02 stock the top 3 (Nic, Paul and Myself) all qualified within 5.13 seconds. (Nic managed to grab TQ with 28 laps in 5:03.34).
In F1 Nic managed the top spot with 2 laps to spare with 29 laps in 5:06.45, followed by Shannon and Sam.
Kyosho Stock was a great class. Sean TQ'ed the class followed by Cygen and Caleb. it was some great racing for the stock Kyosho class. Sean Manged the win with a hard charging Cygen gaining ground at the end but still came up 1 lap short. Congrats to Sean. (Cygen had alot of fun hanging out with you for the day).
Nascar was all Sam, he TQ'ed, and came away with the first place trophy. His car was dialed in. I don't think I've seen a Nascar Mini-Z handle that good. Nice driving as well. Sean came in Second and Brad in 3rd.
Special thanks to Julie for running the event and being Race Director and Commentator. You did a excelled job with calling the race, keeping the Audience informed and it was a pleasure to help where I could.
Thanks to Shannon, Paul and Julie for setting up such a great event. We will surely plan on making the next one. Keep us informed on on dates and we get it on our schedule.
