The new Modifieds from Slot Body Central were a big hit and produced some exciting racing. (I guess I'll have to pay more attention to them in Area Auto Racing News in the future!).
The fear of the old narrow 440x2 chassis of being too tired to fall off (as was the case in winter testing) proved not to be true. Everyone found a way to make themselves (and others) crash or at least the tricky oval played its part in causing some off track excursions.
The points are being split for this season to better reflect the different classes and the challenges of racing each. Also thanks to the added printer to the timing system we are now awarding one (1) bonus point per lane the top laps turned. The point will be split if two or more drivers complete the same number of laps in that lane. With four lanes raced last night four total bonus points were awarded in each main event.
Here are the complete results:
Big Block Modifieds (4 lanes x 2 minutes)
- Ryan Missler-21A 171 laps
- Lee Booze-FX1 167
- Randy Dickman-91 165
- John Warren-00 158
- Christian Booze-1 118
Sprint Cars (4 lanes x 2 minutes)
- Ryan Missler-18 168
- Christian Booze-43 164
- John Warren-0 162
- Randy Dickman-2 146
- Lee Booze-1a 113
We are off next week but will be back in action on January 21st for the Lernerville Speedway "Silver Cup" for both TYCO Modifieds and Sprint Cars. Doors open at 6:30pm and racing starts at 7:00pm. (We are usually done by 9pm).
Remember all racing is "house class" cars and controllers. If you are interested in racing at Redmen Raceway drop me an email at booze1856@gmail.com.
