And a splendid day it was.  Opting for a June date rather than the previous ridiculously hot August day was a positive improvement.  Temperatures topped out in the 80's rather than triple digits.

Fourteen racers participated - Monte joked about instituting a 4 lb. diner minimum but didn't actually carry through.  The food was great, the times even better.

Taking the win in a closely contested event was Team Blue starring Greg Gaub, Mitch Brooks and June Petrequin.

Here are the official results:

1.  Team Blue : 1671 laps
Greg Gaub
Mitch Brooks
June Petrequin

2. Team Green : 1652 laps
Mike Daily
Tyler Petrequin
John Police

3.  Team Orange : 1625 laps
Tracy Flood
Todd Flood
Greg Petrolatti
Carl McLaughlin

4.  Team Purple : 1605 laps
Monte Saager
Victoria Saager
Perry Petrequin
Al Christensen

A sincere thanks to those that joined us, we had a great time.  Pictures and video to come.

I had a surprise 50th Birthday party for Kelly and the times conflicted so I had to miss this splendid affair.  Hope to make it next time.

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