Sometimes this area is blessed with perfect weather, and today was one of those days...which led to a bunch of folks deciding they would rather be somewhere else, than racing slot cars inside. The racers who showed up were the
committed lot, as racing is their life. I'm one of them, for sure! There was a very competitive bunch, with very close T-Jet pack racing, the order of the day. The B Main started off with James Kennedy and well known caster, Roger Corrie, running away
from the rest of the field. As the heats ran on, James buckled down and drove determindly pulling a 190 lap total, up 8 on his old mentor...Roger. Lewis Wuori and Mark Smith battled closely, with Lewis getting the nod as his Dodge finished two laps up on Mark, and
three back of Roger. Dale White and new racer, Mike Ose, had their own battle going...with Mike building up a lead at the finish.
The A Main started strong for Bubba Milholen with a 50 on Yellow power lane, Jeff Crabtree was back a lap on the red gutter,
Tom Bowman was back another lap on the Green gutter, and Robby Whiteed back five laps on blue. The second segment Jeff take off on the field, gaining three laps over Bubba...with Tom and Robby fading to the rear. Third segment saw Jeff cement his lead with
an authoritative 52 on yellow, Bubba maintaining his gutter runs with a 47, Tom gaining a lap on Bubba that segment and Robby struggling on the tight Green gutter. Bubba turned it on with a 51 on blue, Tom overdriving like crazy which only led to a disappointing 47
on the favorite yellow lane...Jeff cruised, unflappable to a 50 on green, Robby getting it together on red finished with a 46. The win went to Jeff, driving his Lewis Wuori rent-a-racer, dominating the day. Bubba tried to keep him honest, finishing back 7 laps. James came
up from the B to take third back 5 laps. Tom was back another 2 laps in fourth, a disappointing finish for his new Bat-jet Ginetta G15.
After the dust had settled, we put up the black out curtains and turned on the black lights...our IROC race was something completely different...BMW Isetta's in 1/32nd scale on T-Jet Indy
chassis. The bodies were made by Bat-Jet with the unique Ignite flourescent colors...racing was crash 'n burn in the TrakMate Championship mode. Racing was completely over the top as our top heavy cars handled remarkedly well. Everyone had a lot of laughs and the
money was raised was donated to the MASCAR Nat's fund. Look for some special deals on ebay to raise some more cash for our running of the UFHORA Nats, June 14-17th in Virginia's center of racing, Gloucester.
