ROUND 2

Round two of the fall race series Kicked off Last week and with a few weeks off from the recap were back in action giving you highlights on all the racing that took place.

Entering into the first turn all drivers made it through clean. Randy G. would be able to make his way into fifth place coming around for the second lap but have some tough drivers to pass if he was looking to get the race win. Bj C. would also on his way to the front early passing both Chase T. and Tom D. Curtis O. a new driver to leagues would make a slight mistake entering the split and opt to the outside. Randy was smooth around the corner making an easy pass up the inside. Still early in the race we would jump back up to our leaders who were Mike J. and Mike M. already with a 2 second lead on the rest of the field. Bumper to bumper they came around with Mike J. unfazed by Mike M. presence. At the halfway mark Bj and Curtis O. were battling it out allowing Tom to close the gap and put the pressure on both of them looking for any little mistake to get around. As the laps would slowly be winding down Mike M. would start look for lines that would give him a passing opportunity on mike J. Mike M’s lines would come together being the only driver to turn a nineteen sec. lap time however this would not be enough to make the pass and they would finish in second. Meanwhile the battle between Curtis, Bj, and Tom would be heating up, as Bj would look to make a pass on the inside of the last corner. Entering the first one-eighty side-by-side Curtis had the inside. Bj held on the gas and was able to keep the inside showing Curtis a wheel entering the split. Curtis took the outside making an easy pass for Bj also allowing Tom to squeak by. Curtis would find the outside the next couple laps and allow Chase T and Philip to catch up. Chase would slide by on the inside at the finish with one lap to go and Curtis would again take the outside entering the split and Philip would make a last min pass for an extra pass. The top three would end as followed Mike J, Mike M, and Randy G coming all the way to third from a tenth place position on the start.

Entering into the second start it would be very clean. A few laps would go by until the action would start. Randy would make his way around Mike M. through the split and Bj would follow right behind. Mike would tuck right back in and follow for a couple laps before making the pass back carrying more speed around the last corner. Mike J and Randy would be not far ahead and randy would make a move to the inside at the split and tangle up with the top three. Bj would be the beneficiary of the crash and inherit the easy lead. Mike J would fall back into fifth place and try to gain back a few positions. Getting a good drive around the last turn he would be able to pull along side to Chase but not be able to make the pass. Mike would make his way past. Mike M would be in the number two position again and start setting up his pass with ten laps to go. Eight laps remaining he made the pass and makes it stick. A tuff first main event would make Philip start at the back but with only five laps remaining he would have made his way up into third and was clearly the fastest driver on the track. With Bj and Mike M the two drivers in front who are not new to running at the front of the pack would drive a wide line and hold Philip to strong drive into third. Mike M would take the win followed by Bj C.

That would wrap up round two of the fall race series and with some great battles tune into next weeks recap to relive all the battles right at home or make your way to Unser Wednesday night to be a part of all the great racing.

ROUND 6

Round six of the Rockstar winter league came up fast and many drivers were in the hunt for the top five positions in points. The ‘drop one round’ rule would mix things up slightly in the end, because many drivers showed up to all the rounds! The few who didn’t saw their dropped round accounted for heading into round six.

A main saw Ted M. starting on pole and leading the field into a clean start. Jereme W was at a slight disadvantage starting mid-pack and looking to chase down some of our fastest league drivers, a daunting task. However, he found himself in fifth five laps into it. Bj had Randy all over him and was forced to tighten up his lines the slightest bit blocking any look at the inside of corners. Coming up to the halfway mark, Ron W. started to fall back the slightest bit and was in a battle with James C. After driving side by side for almost a whole lap James would be able to get the drive coming around the finish line and hold him off entering the first one eighty. The battle between the two would allow Michael M. a new driver to leagues to catch up and get in the mix. Meanwhile, Bj and randy were still battling and allowed Jereme to catch up. They were bumper-to-bumper coming down to the second to last lap and would be approaching lapped traffic. These lapped drivers were in a battle of their own which would make it tuff for the leaders to find a fast way around. In the midst of all this action, a lot would happen. Jereme and Randy were both shut down for bumping, which allowed Ryan to slide by into third. Michael M, who started in last, would be able to find his way around Randy for fifth.

There were a few drivers warned for aggression on the track entering the second race. With valuable overall points on the line, it was key to have an extra set of eyes on the race. Therefore, we did not get great detail on the final A main to report here. The race started off with Michael M getting spun entering the first turn. Jereme would be looking to find his way around Ryan S and Bj early. He was able to make his way around Ryan but wasn’t able to shake him. Coming across the line at the end, Ted crossed out front with Jereme in second, and Bj in third.

The last round was full of battles and passes making it one of the more interesting rounds we have had to date. When the points were tallied and the round was dropped, the results reveiled Michael M in first with 481, followed by Bj in second with 470, and Randy in third with 465. Randy was only 2 points behind entering the last round and Bj was able to keep his calm under the pressure by making no mistakes. Rockstar would throw in some great prizes for the top three in points and everyone was stoked on the series!

Make sure to come in and get prepared for the next series which will kick off soon. Check our website, emails, Facebook, and Twitter for announcements. We are also excited to launch our all new Youth leagues! These will come complete with fundamentals courses happening before heats to help drivers better their times and to understand what works and what doesn’t on the track during competition.
