Doc, that was a great race by both you and Al for the title. Rico also had a really good night. There was lots of close racing!

I'm not sure about that new nickname.........that's really a mouth full!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

The racing last night was very close, well except for me.... I have been absent for Rippin' Ridin' Raceway some time, and I was immediately impressed by how much everyone's cars have improved, and the driving of the racers! I was never even in the hunt, not even close! Congrats to all the racers last night!

But when it comes right down to it, a big congratulations to Al for regaining his championship title for the 2001 season! In an awesome LMP battle, Al beat Doc by a mere 1/2 lap to claim victory. They went into this last race tied for first in the championship! It was an epic finish to the 2021 season!

Here are the race results:

I took a bunch of photos at last night's race, but most did not turn out. I'm definitely not much of a photographer! But here is what did turn out....sorta...........

  It wasn't a big crowd, but it was a fast crowd!

The Doc and Al battle was intense! Here Doc is checking the score from one of his heat races. Al is on the left, and Fernando is on the right.

I got two shots of our champion, and of course this is the only one that came out. He did actually smile for the second photo!!!

After the race we engaged in the usual B.S. sessions. It was good to see Fernando (pictured left) at the track again! Mitch (right) had a great night with a win in the F1 class!

Rico finished a close third, just one tenth of a lap behind Doc in the LMP Class point race! He also scored the win in the Open Class race as well as the BRM GTP Class race!

Yep I needed  oxygen  after the 1st heat.  May  of been the  cause of my off. Not enough oxygen  going to my two  good brain cells.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

I just want to congratulate Al on his hard fought championship.  It a battle the whole season long. I've been trying to catch up with those guys all season, it was a win for me to be on the same lap. I also want to give kudos to Bill and his single point, that's a top ten finish. Plus, racing against him always brings a level of shall we say uncertainty.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

I think I like that....."UNCERTAINTY"..............Yep, I like it a lot!!!!!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

Light turn out last night. Only 4 die hard racers showed so track call was the norm for the night. So for all you out there that are on the fence if it is safe to come out to Al's and race. Let me assure  you that Mitch is up on all his shots and is completely  harmless. All bark and no bite..so come out and have some fun racing...

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

I have been busy with repairing the driver stations on my track. Just now getting to where everything operates properly after the destruction the construction workers managed to do while our "shop" was being renovated into the new Airbnb space.

I'm glad to say the track is now completely done! So I can actually practice and test cars. I fully intend to get back into racing, but haven't got good cars for a lot of the classes we race. I will probably be at the next one, though!

I HAVE MISSED IT!!!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

well I normally have extra cars for every class  and if I don't have one others do so  lets not having a car stop you from coming out and racing.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

So we were talking classes last Thursday  and the PGE class came up and how it has turned into just  can am  cars  if you want a chance at a good finish. Mitch came up with  good tweek to the rules and just add the cars need to have a roof.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

Doc mentioned the above proposed rule change to the PGE Class here at ICFR on Monday. I'd like to give Chris Kouba the chance to weigh in on this since he is the Sponsor of this class.

Chris?

As I understand the proposal; the change would require closed cockpit body styles for the class (eliminate open cockpit type cars). The rules would require all cars to have roofs.

Is this the consensus?

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

Actually, the rule might want to say the cars use the stock roof they came with to prevent someone from slapping some lexan slab on a McLaren.  Perhaps add GT to the details.
