A good turnout with nine (9) racers present for Points Race #3.
Randy Brown was present for the second race in a row at LPR. Glad to have you
here Randy during your travels.
The temperature fairly Hot, but not abnormally for this time of
the year.
----------------------------
There was a little bit of a trend today as two racers set
their personal best fast lap times.
There was a special presentation to Senior Co-Chair James
Adamson by the club and all I can say is I am not worthy, but I want to say
thanks to each and every one of the CCRC members and their desire to help
others. This is the BEST club in the county bar none.

seconds – Bonus Point for TQ of Qualifying, 2nd James Adamson (with his new to
him Lightning chassis) @ 6.058 seconds (Personal Best Time for James)
