Topic: PASER Even Thursday Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway - May 2nd!

We had a good turn out of racers for the Even Thursday race at Inslot's Checkered Flag in Vancouver on May 2nd. Eleven racers competed in three separate races for three different classes. The racing started at 6:00 PM, and concluded at 9:40 PM. From what I saw, everyone seemed to have a good time! I know I did!

The first class to line up on the start line was the Womp Class. We raced one round of 3 minute heats for this class. The racing was very close, which is pretty much the norm for this class! Janette Carter raced for the first time this evening, and Kaelah Carter competed in the Womp class for her first time. Both did very well! Bart, Kirk, and Al finished fourth, fifth, and sixth, all with lap totals of 107! Their lap averages were within .050 second of each other! Bob posted the win with an impressive two lap lead, and a fastest lap of 5.547 seconds!

Up next was the race for the Flexi Class cars. Again the format was one round of 3 minute heats. Bob again showed he was the guy to beat, but this time Kirk was right on his tail, just two laps down. Daniel finished third, Rico was fourth, and Kaelah (Bomber) had her best finish to date finishing fifth. Again the racing was very close with these super quick cars!

Re: PASER Even Thursday Race at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway - May 2nd!

The final race of the night was for the NASCAR Class. This is a hardbody (injection molded/model car body) class. We had ten racers for this race as Gerry had to leave early. This time around Bob was unable to remain on top. Kirk showed he was king of the field this time around. Kirk and Bob were the only racers to break 130 lap totals. They were truly the class of the field! The rest of the field had only three laps between finishers. The Carters ran a team effort for this race, sharing the only car they had. In their team effort The Bomber seemed to stand out as the star!

This race had lots of action! Door to door racing, spectacular crashes, daring passes, and some exihibitons of outstanding driving by new racers as well as veterans! Gerry stepped up his game racing his new RTR Flexi Class car for the first time (amazing what a difference top notch equipment makes!). Janette (Janz) did a great job in her first races! Kaelah (Bomber) continues to get better, improving her racing skills, and actually beating her dad (Bo) in a few heat races!

The Bomber won the turn marshal pot for the night, and I'd like to congratulate everyone for the geat turn marshalling all through the evening, even when it got late! All in all I felt it was a great night of racing and I had a spectacular time! Thank you to all that made it happen!
