The Monday schedule calls for a Womp race to start at high noon. This first Womp race involved some very close racing! The Womp races use a lap time break-out of 5.5 seconds. If you run a lap faster than 5.5 seconds, that lap is not counted. Setting up your car to run at that limit is the key, and easily accomplished as long as your car is built to the class specs.
Bob held the lead after the first round of racing by one point. Three racers ran laps in the 5.5 second range, but none broke out. The fastest laps ranged from 5.523 to 5.587. Rob came back to take the race lead after the second round, where three racers tied for the top spot of round two. In this round five racers were in the 5.5 second range, with the fastest laps between 5.529 and 5.578. Again no break-outs! The outcome of the race was not decided until the end of the third round of racing! After each racer completed a total of 12 heat races the winner had won by just 1 point! Second place was a tie, and third place was just 2 more points down. In the final round four racers ran in the 5.5 second range, 5.5o7 to 5.572, again with no break-outs! That is some close racing!
