We will be running a 10 Week Point Series with the Club Races which will be posted up in the store every Friday after the race. There will be prizes given to the top 3 guys at the end of the Point Series.

When we do large events/championship races it will be a Double Point race.

We will also be giving out prizes for those who complete the

5000 Laps
25,000 Laps
50,000 Laps
100,000 Laps

Entry fees for Regional Races or Special Events will be posted when they are announced, along with Classes.

There are no set classes for the Club Races for now, but once we have a good group of guys coming we will seperate the classes by racers lap times.

I will keep everyone updated if things change also when we receive our new line of cars and parts.

Another one went home yesterday....

Our Porsche 917 Sebring has found a new owner and will be running with us on thursdays now. Now we just need a few more cars on the track and we will have enough to run 2 Mains...


As soon as I get enough guys for 2 or more mains I will the seperate the classes by skill and mods.... but for now we are just having some fun.

[Redbaja]

Our Nissan Skyline R34 has been picked up today... Didn't see this one lasting long on the shelf... Now it looks like I'm going to have to stock up on some stock parts and upgrades...


More work for me lol...

[Redbaja]

We had a Great race night last night.... There were a lot of fast guys last night making and breaking lap times back to back.... Once again I want to say thanks to everyone that made it out last night to race, Greatly appreciated.

Now lets get the Mains...

We found that seperating the Mains and Qaulifiers made it easier for marshalling, so we ran 2 Mains...

B-Main Results:

1st. Ralphie ( Trict-GTr ) 53 laps @ 5:02.78 Fastest Lap: 4.35

2nd. DaddyG ( Greg ) 46 Laps @ 5:04.78 Fastest Lap: 5.20

3rd. Gordak ( Sam ) 38 Laps @ 5:08.03 Fastest Lap: 5.60

3rd. HTU Rich ( RedBaja ) 51 Laps @ 5:05.67 Fastes Lap: 4.60



Now I wanna say Congrats to everyone, I see a lot of improvement. You guys are getting cleaner racing around the track and you look great.

Now there were some Lap Times broken last night and some made.... As you all remember I currently held the fastest lap for the Stock class with a 4.49..

Tuesday night SkylineFrank broke that with a 4.43.... Congrats Franks...

He then broke that record last night with a 4.41 and then again with a impressive run 4.37...

Well once again frank was only able to hold onto it for so long when someone again beat that fast time with something even faster............ HHMMMM............ I wonder who that could be....... lol...

OMGGGG IT's........... REDBAJA....... What, Me.... Again.....lol... J/k

Yes people, I was able to keep a very tight and clean line with the Subaru, My Time I put down was a 4.35

But it wasnt easy, and Frank did set a high bar for me to even attempt, I'm very impressed that for someone with no background of racing is able to be very competitive....

Also congrats to Mr.B1gg for giving us all one hell of a battle last night, he took down Second place in his first A-Main race.... Great Job....

Now we have 2 new Fastest Lap times for the Stock and Mod Class.....

Stock Class Fastest Lap: 4.35 By RedBaja

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this Tuesday Night for Open Practice... As everyone can see the meaning " Practice Makes Perfect " really does work... A lot of guys are getting faster, cleaner, and better around the track... I'm very happy with the group of guys I have racing here..

Thanks to everyone and see you next week..

Lets start with last nights Results:

A-Main Results...

3rd. Jackson 41 Laps@ 5:02.21 Fast Lap: 5.30

These are the results from last nights race.....

Now lets get to the good news...

A few of my racers here have improved there driving skills and have gotten very comfortable with there cars on the track, which results in progress... and progress it was last night..

Gordak drives a Ferrari Modena and he comes every week and everytime he is here I see a lot of progress with him on the track... Well the fastest Gordak has gone around the track is the mid 5sec club... Last night he amazed himself and me to when he zoomed around the track and put down his new personal fasted lap of a 4.82.....WOW... Amazing Sam...I love it... Great work....

Next is DaddyG, this person has no history of racing at all, but has the drive to improve himself to become a competitor. DaddyG has only been here racing with us 3 times now and Last night really showed how he pushes himself with his Cool Moded # 29 Harvick Nascar Body... DaddyG was dealing with some good rear wheel hop and was able to keep control of the car and put down his new best Personal Lap time of a 4.82, which is a big drop from his normal 5.10...Congrats Greg... Looking good on the track.. very impressed... Keep up the good work...

Now Last night we had two new faces to the table racing with us I wanna say thanks to Jackson who is a good friend of mine and Thanks to Jackson's friend Kurt who came with him to race with us, these guys rented our Store Subaru and Mazda 787B and they both were doing great on the track... But you coiuld see some rivaly going on there between the two, but its was all fun with them laughing and enjoying putting each other in to the wall...lol.. it was funny..

So this is what most are waiting for, there were Records Broken last night...

Stock Class:

SkylineFrank put the Skyline to the side and broke out his new Ferrari Enzo last night and was on a roll to setting some new records.. and that he did.. The Enzo was very impressive out of the box and as soon as he through it down on the table I knew he was out for Blood... lol.... Frank did a few passes to get comfortable with the car making adjustments here and there each time he completed a lap until he found the perfect setup.... And that he did Find... After about 10 or so laps Frank beat my record of 4.35 with the a 4.23... but he was not done there, it wasn't enough for him.. He continued on like a like a lion in the wilderness searching for that perfect line, that perfect turn... that perfect time.... after a few more laps he then put down a 4.19, but once again he wasn't happy... during the A-Main Race frank was able to throw down a Impressive time of 4.10.... Now frank felt he was satisfied... So congrats to frank for setting a new time for everyone to work for... He was driving very clean last night and looked awesome around the track... I was so impressed with the Enzo that I will make that car my First Dnano Car....Thanks Frank...

Open Class:

Congrats also to Ralphie who has set a new record for the Open Class ralph had some problems with the skyline and was getting very fustrated with the car until he remember he had purchased the Carrera GT.... after getting the car Registered he then did a few practice laps with it on the track and found that the car handles well but he wasn't up to par with him with speed, thats when a light bulb popped up and he had a great Idea.. He then went back to the drawing table and decided to remove all the performace parts from the Skyline and place them on the GT... Now the car was up to Par for his drving skill.....The car was Fast, agile, quick.... Now Ralp was on the hunt for the new fastest record for Open Class... and he felt he had the winning car... Well he was right, his best time was a 4.18 with the skyline and he was able to to crush that with a fast pass of a 4.10.... Congrats Ralph for running good last night... that GT looks awesome on the track..

I also want to say Great Job to Mr B1gg... he is getting good and has found his nitch... he once again made it into the A-main and was very competitive, he was neck and neck with frank for a while and even had the lead for a few laps... he is a great up comer and I warn anyone that races with him, he is real smooth with his lancer and always looks for that quick pass... Don't make a false move around this gu, he will make you pay for it with a pass to fast you won't know what happened...lol... Great job Mr B1gg... your looking very good on the track, and I'm very impressed that the lancer is running so well...

I wanna say thanks to everyone who showed up for Tue nights practice even the snow, and also thanks for coming out tonight to race.

Thanks again...

Rich

Well as soon as I set the new fastest lap for the track in Stock Class, SkylineFrank smashed it before I was able to even post it.

The fastest lap was my 4.35 in the Subaru....... But a few days ago Frank smashed that with his new Enzo with bearings only and we finaly had someone break into the 3 sec club....

So the New time for the track if a Official time of.................. Drum Role........... 3.89...

Yes sir a 3.89.... Frank I just want to say great job man... and I also hate you... lol... but hey great job for showing everyone that it is possble to get into the 3 sec club with out having to invest in so much money with parts... once again it mainly comes down to driver and the right setup....

And Alot of practice...

Thanks
