Hello fellow racers! Well the dust has settled from an outstanding weekend of racing! I can’t thank each and every one of you enough for making this weekend a success! We had absolutely perfect weather, some awesome racing, and a lot of laughs as usual! We had a couple new faces come play with us, as well as saw a few old faces we hadn’t seen in quite some time, with the thoughts of possibly coming back soon, which is always a good thing!
Both days we had some great racing on the track! In Limited Sportsman we had Ryan Heinle showing the field how it’s done on Saturday, but wasn’t able to join us Sunday so the race was wide open with some very close battles between Bill Spears and Peter Hauer, with Bill coming out on top at the end of the race. In Open Wheel we had 3 very close/competitive cars both days with Rudy Flores staying out of trouble and getting the win on Saturday, then Sunday was a very close battle again, but at the end it was Alan Lay taking the win! Sportsman had 4 cars over the weekend battling, Jason Herring leading most of it and the most important last lap on Saturday in a rental ride, but he had issues and couldn’t start the main Sunday opening the door for Maggie Turner to take the win! Super Trucks was dominated by Mike Wright the whole weekend, no one had anything for him as he won all 4 heat races and 2 mains over the weekend! Then the all so competitive Grand National. We have 7 GNs all within a tenth of a second of each other throughout the whole weekend! Super fast (4.95 second laps) and close racing. Saturday found the top 3 finishing on the same lap, after 200 laps was done we had Alan Lay taking the Checkered Flag, then on Sunday we had the ultimate show. A different top 3 in the mix all race long. Swapping the lead back and forth between Chris Cramer, Mike Lubanovich, and Jim Turner. Jim Turner in the first showing of his new LT3 car, and Chris Cramer with his 2Concepts test mobile that was thought of and created within 2 weeks of this race weekend. And what a debut weekend he had with it coming out with the win on Sunday! After the win I believe he got about 10 orders for new cars! (give or take a few, lol) Oh and we won’t talk about the hex I put on him on Saturday keeping him from sweeping the weekend. Sorry Chris!
All in all a very successful weekend! Thank you again all who made the trip out to join us, as well as the Orange Show Quarter Midget Track, Stacy, for providing us with some super good food at the snack bar as well!
Remember, the next race has been moved to the October 19th weekend in Boulder!
It will be a One Day race with our 2019 Banquet to follow. I will be there to run the show again and looking forward to it! The banquet will be held at the local Mexican Food Restaurant (Toto’s) right up the street from the track, right after the racing is complete.
The updated points have been posted, as well as the updated schedule!
