Re: OSCAR Sportscar race (21 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
The opening of Springwater Raceway was a fantastic event! 14 racers showed up to race in the OSCAR Sports Car class. The race consisted of 4 minute heats, run on four of the tracks eight lanes, three times through the rotation, for a total of 48 minutes of on track race time for each driver.
The fast guys were running sub 5.5 second laps by the end of the race! The racing was extremely close with many on track battles between two or three cars running side by side. Each rotation was run as an individual race, with the driver rotation scrambled randomly for each start. After the three rotations were completed, lap totals were totalled for each driver to determine the winning. Tom Street from Bend was declared the winner, just edging out John Gill in second. Gary Tipton placed third and Bob Nakamura was fourth.
