Race report , Memorial Shootout

Denny Andrewshere, the dust finally settled after last race weekend and I’m finally able to post up a report… First and foremost, we have absolutely the best racers out here with Qsac West, hands down!!! Track opened Friday at noon, many racers took advantage of a full day of practice with some good music playing all day, but we started the weekend with a major threat of rain on Sunday, pretty much eliminating our chances of doing our ‘now norm’ 2 day/2 race schedule… So early Saturday morning the idea was tossed out there, “Hey, let’s run both shows today!?!” We talked to all the racers and BAM we’re going to do 2 full race programs in 1 day, get it done so everyone can enjoy the rest of their Memorial Day Weekend with their families! And I must say, it went off without a hitch… thanks to all of you racers for making the schedule work, being ready for your races, and most importantly having BIG smiles throughout the whole day with some awesome racing! So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to all you racers for making my job easy this past Saturday!!!

The racing was outstanding all day, the track was in perfect shape was real close to breaking that 4 second lap time barrier again. We had 23 entries participate in both race schedules, spread out fairly even across the 5 classes we run, with our premier class Grand National having 7 and putting on an awesome race! I believe the fast lap in GN was a 5.01, the fourth fastest lap in that class was a 5.08, that’s 7 thousandths of a second separating the top 4, and the final 3 were within a 10th of a second of that, so very fast and close racing in that class. We had a new driver join us this week in the Truck class, John Barnett, coming from the 10th Scale Dirt Oval world and did an outstanding job jumping right into a fast class. Always great to see new faces, which usually brings more new faces… Listed below are the final results per race and I also added the updated points here on the page as well…

Again, THANK YOU to each and every one of my QSAC West family for making the trip and putting up with me for the day. I had a great time watching all of you having a great time! Until the next one!!!
