Seven (7) cars were on hand for the Points Race #6 the last
of the Point Races before the Points Resort. The weather was in low 90s but
there was some wind blowing that was much appreciated by the racers. Today’s
race was the last chance to make some moves up the leader board for the Points Reset
after this race.
The Top 3 Single Car Qualifying results were Jerry Evans
(TNT) 1st @ 6.444 seconds, 2nd was Wayne Rogers (Lightning) @ 6.669 seconds and
3rd was Mike Clark (TNT) @ 6.931 seconds.
Jerry has been the King of Qualifying and has been the Top
Single Car Qualifier in all Six (6) of the Points races so far and has all Six
(6) of the Bonus Points that have been available.
After Qualifying the Group 1 Racers were Jerry Evans, Wayne Rogers, Mike Clark and Woody Trimble.
All Three (3) of Group 1 Heats were swept by Jerry Evans (TNT). Fast Laps for Heats: 1 – Jerry Evans 6.200, 2 – Jerry Evans 6.214 and 3 – Jerry Evans 6.211 seconds.
Group 2 Racers were Eddie Dunn, James Adamson and “Fast” Eddie McCray. It was great to see Fast Eddie back at the track as he has had family and medical issues this year and he was ready to race and it showed on the track.
Group 2 Heat Wins were Heats 1 & 3 by Eddie Dunn (Lightning) and Heat #2 by “Fast” Eddie McCray (Lightning). Eddie Dunn wanted to know which Eddie was the “Fast” Eddie and was told to mind his Elders, both Eddie’s took that with the sense of humor that was intended.
Fast Laps for Heats: 1 – James Adamson (Pro1) 6.498, 2 – James
Adamson 6.463 and 3 – James Adamson in 6.394 seconds.
Heat 2 was the race of
the day as there were two (2) and even three (3) wide racing. There were
position changes for the lead that did not show changing because they happen with
crossover moves before the timing and scoring loop. In the end “Fast” Eddie McCray would take the
win with Eddie Dunn just 0.224 seconds back and James Adamson 1.914 seconds
back.
Jerry Evans would be the TQ of the Heats and was awarded the
Bonus Point.

As
evident by the track times everyone was battling the track with everyone
experiencing a slight push condition, some worse than others, as no one had ran
a lap in the 6.1s yet. Would that trend continue?

would retire. Woody had a fast car and ran the 3rd fastest lap of the A Main in
