Re: Rapid 500 on Oct. 5, 2024

As one of the season kick-off races, the Rapid 500 is one of the premier races of the local racing season. This is a long, tough race, and you don't win it with just some good luck. It is a total of 64 minutes of power on, on track racing time. To win requires a very good car and a very good drive. There is no time or room for mistakes. This race is hard on equipment. Car failure and break downs are common place during this race, and this year was no different. So congratulations are due to all those that placed well, and to those that just plain finished! Thank you Howie for another fantastic Rapid 500!

The track was busy during pre-race practice.
