Yesterday marked my return from vacation and our racing schedule back up and running at Inslot's Checkered Flag!

We had 9 racers for the High Noon Womp race. After three rounds of 20 lap heat races I squeaked out a win just ahead of John. Bob was close behind in third. Complete results:

1st Bill 43 pts.
2nd John 40
3rd Bob 36
4th - tie Dave 33
4th - tie Doc 33
5th Brian 28
6th Rob 27
7th Gerry 15
8th Mitch 14

The Flexi race was a different story! John cleaned our clocks running a total of 197 laps in four 4 minute heats. Dave in second was ten laps down, but Bob was only one lap behind Dave in third. Complete results from the Flexi race:

The six o'clock Womp race had six entrees. Around 6:01 PM Doc's alarm went off and he woke up! He won the Womp race with 28 points for two rounds. I was second with 23, and Dave and Brian tied for third with 22. Complete results:

1st Doc 28 points
2nd Bill 23
3rd - tie Dave 22
3rd - tie Brian 22
4th Bart 19
5th Rico 18
6th Hersch 8

The evening Flexi race was another all Doc show! He took the win with a 191 lap run (lucky for him John wasn't still around!). Dave was second with 188 laps, and I was third with 188 laps (Dave was awarded second place with a 5.045 second lap average, versus my 5.057 lap average!). Race results:

The racing is tightening up at Inslot's Checkered Flag! Everyone has made improvements to not only their cars, but to their driving skill on this road course! The track was open from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM. Thanks to all that made it out to race, and those that made it by just to run some cars and visit! I had a great time!

Oh yeah, here's that PM Winner of BOTH classes:

There were 12 racers entered in the Clubman Class race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway on April 9th. In qualifying Terrible Tommy Street set the track record for Clubman class cars with a 4.717 second lap (he actually posted a faster lap during the race, but hey TOO BAD, that don't count!).....

The race format scheduled for use was the standard OSCAR four rounds of 4 minute heats. The rtacing was very close with many door to door on track battles. At the halfway point in the race Turing John was in the lead with 378 laps, followed by Nak Nak (Bob) with 370 laps. In the end, even with some gear problems, John could not be denied the win!

Here are the final results:
1st "Touring John" Gill 749 laps
2nd "Bad Billy" Bostic 745
3rd Bob "Nak Nak" Nakamura 739
4th "Magic Mike" Leech 709
5th Stuart "Stew Meat" Wall 703
6th "Scary Gary" Klein 691
7th "Meat" Al Christensen 682
8th Michael Mitchel 679
9th "Terrible Tommy" Street 663
10th "Bart Man" Ouchida 653
11th "Just Mitch" Brooks 606
12th "Professor Fate" Jim Mitchel 602

Jim Mitchel won the Racer's Choice Award for his beautiful red Ferrari 308. Tom Street was awarded the "Too Bad" Award for well.....obvious reasons!

It was an awesome day of racing for me! I had a really good time! Thank you to all that were able to make it out!
