ROUND 1

Round one of the Rockstar Spring League 2 series featured a new 7:00pm start time allowing anyone getting stuck in the office or traffic a little extra time to make it in. The six round series awards prizes to the top three drivers in an overall points standings at round six. If you’re a new or experienced driver leagues are the ultimate race experience.

A main number one kicked off racing with a clean start. Bj C. started making moves early and quickly got around Michael M. into third but see Michael pass him back a lap later. Travis T. and Ron W. started their battle early as well and went back and forth for most of the race. Unfortunately for them, the battle would slow them down and as they would fade back in the pack. Chase T. who started on the pole had Ryan S. breathing down his neck 5 laps into it. As the race went on and drivers would get into lap traffic allowing Chase to gap Ryan the slightest bit spreading out third and fourth. Ryan turned the fastest lap a 19.957 allowing him to close the gap and get around Chase for first at the start finish line. Chase pushed his limit going into the one-eighty looking to pass him back but Ryan was able to hold him off. Michael M. was turning fast consistent laps in third, as he was hunting down Chase. They were catching up to another group of lappers it would look as if they would play a big factor in slowing one of them down. Both drivers were able to maneuver around cleanly. With only 5 laps remaining Michael caught Chase and applied the pressure for the next three laps until getting around him with two laps remaining. The top three finished as follows, Ryan in First, Michael in second, and Chase in third.

The second A main looked to be a good one leading into it. Ryan on the pole led the field into a clean start. Again Ron and Travis would start off the race battling. Travis found his grove and better lines late in the first main and would be able to sneak away after a few laps. The top five spread out relatively quickly giving them all some breathing room. Philip S. was slowly catching up to Bj and took the breathing room away. Staying calm under the pressure Bj caught up to Randy in fourth at the midway mark. Ryan would again be out front and turn the fastest lap time and have no pressure. A battle would ensue back in fifth place with Bj, Philip, and Randy. Philip all over Bj would get a drive at the finish and pull along side of Bj. Not able to make the pass would go side by side into the one-eighty. Randy back in sixth seeing this all go down right in front of him stuck right be right behind Bj as he would force Philip to the outside allowing Randy around him. Chase having plenty of breathing room on fourth got caught up in lapped traffic making a mistake and got stuck on a barrier dropping him back to seventh with three laps remaining. Philip would be all over Randy looking to pass him back but unable to with no mistakes by Randy.

With the consistent battles that arose left many drives talking about the fun and excitement of what took place on the track. Round one was great fun and what looks to be a great start to the spring league 2 series. Tune in next week for what I am sure will be even more action, or better yet come race leagues and be a part of all the fun!

ROUND 2

Round two of the Rockstar Spring league 2 series would see a few new drivers that came looking to get into contention. With the drop one round rule for our series any driver would still be able to drop that first round and with some consistent driving be very capable of still be taking home the points series.

The first A main kicked off quickly when Jared W. passed Ron W. on the inside of the first corner. This wouldn’t last long as Jared would start to fade back into the pack as the laps ticked away. A pack of three drivers would be catching him fast looking to make there way to the front. These drivers included Michael M., Jereme W., and Randy G. Jereme turned up the pressure, as he would make a pass on Randy only to see him make an attempt on passing back in the second one-eighty. By this time Michael would start to inch away giving him a little breathing room. This would bring us to the halfway mark with James C still in the lead with Chase right behind him. As they came into the split a lapped driver would stay on the inside holding James up and allow Chase to make the pass. This would give James to see the other side of things. He would now be the one applying the pressure to Chase. With the two battling up front this would slow them the slightest bit and allow third through fifth to catch up making it a five-way battle coming to the end. James would make one last chance to going on the inside but chase would close the door and go on for the win.

The second main event was crazy and one for the books. The passing would be going on everywhere for the first few laps as drivers were taking advantage of every little mistake. Chase fell back to seventh by the fifth lap as well as James back into sixth. Bj on the other hand would be moving forward into second with Jeremy right behind him in third. Jeremy moved passed Bj and set his sights on the leader. Michael also started putting down his fast laps and passed Bj. Ryan S. put the pressure on Bj towards the end of the race but didn’t find a line to get around. The top three would come from the back of the field and be Jeremy in first, Michael in second, and Bj in third.

With the second main event being a great one and so crazy it would make capturing all the passing a tough one. For those of you who haven’t checked out leagues do so and be a part of all the action, fun and, prizes next Wednesday at 6:30pm.

ROUND 3

Round three of the Spring League 2 series had the biggest turn out of the series yet. This would set up racing for A and B mains. The top 8 would go to the A main and the rest to the B main. Word was floating around that one of those drivers had put down 19-second laps earlier in the week and everyone would be curious how he would do in a race.

The first B main started off clean and the people in the back of the field were first to try and make a move. David T. had a good drive on Tim S. coming across the finish line. However it would not be enough as Tim held him off. Tim started getting in the groove and dropping his lap times. James C. and Travis T. who started one two started to pull away with ten laps remaining. Tim was stuck behind Ron W. for a few laps as Ron would be driving quick laps. He would be able to make the pass by diving on the inside going into the second one-eighty. After the pass and a clean track ahead of Tim he was able to set his sights on the front two. He was able to put A 20.3 down and was the fastest lap of the race. This allowed him to catch Travis and James up front. James would feel the pressure after Tim tried to drive to the inside entering the second one-eighty. Travis wouldn’t be affected as Tim would try it couple more times but be unsuccessful, as the race would come to an end.

Entering the second main event they would start close opening a whole set of battles. James again led them into a clean start and David would make quick work of Ron at the first one-eighty. Things would stay calm for 6 laps with the leaders bumper to bumper as they pulled away the slightest bit. Tim would try diving to the inside in the one-eighty as he did in the first race and be shut down once again. Things would remain the same with James still leading followed by a close Travis and Tim with six remaining. The close racing up front slowed them just enough for David to catch up. As the race came near the end things would start to heat up. Travis snuck to the inside of James, as he was moving over resulting in James spinning out. Travis would receive the black flag, which allowed Tim around into first. This black flag also allowed David to catch Travis and put the pressure on. However it would not be enough and Finish with Tim in first followed by Travis and David.

Jumping to the A main New driver Theodore was the one everyone was talking about. The random grid set up the battle perfectly with Theodore on the pole followed by Jereme W. and Michael M. The start was clean as Randy made a pass on Chase in the first straight. The top three jumped out to a quick lead as Jereme tried to make Theodore nervous. Not affected, he would drive the fast line and be able to hold the lead. Randy and Ryan S. would catch up to Nathaniel in sixth leaving two three-way battles on the track. Not to far in front of them would be Bj C. and Chase T. in another battle this would be something to keep an eye on. Meanwhile Theodore and Jereme started to pull Michael and be alone in the battle. With no pressure, Jereme would be able to try new lines in second trying to make a move into first. It looked as if Jereme was going to try and dive to the inside towards the end of the race so that there would be no time to get passed back. With seven laps to go chase made his way to the inside of Bj entering the split with to much speed to hold the inside. Chase pushed Bj into the split causing barriers to come loose and a stoppage to the race would have to occur. The Track would get repaired and every driver was lined back up at the finish for the restart in the order they were at the stopping point. The restart was clean and Jereme would make another pass attempt at the finish line to be denied one more time. This allowed Theodore to get a slight gap and not have pressure at the end of the race. Top three would end with Theodore in first, Jereme in second, and Michael in third.

After a great first race, the drivers lined back up and give it another go. This time Jereme would be looking for redemption. Jereme would try to make a move two laps in crossing the finish line. To do so he went outside entering the last turn and someone would get under him spinning him out early. This gave Theodore a quick gap and let him turn fast laps. Randy and Ryan found themselves battling again. Ryan put a move on randy going into the second one-eighty but drifted wide across the finish line only for randy to pass him back. This led the into the first one-eighty with more speed then usual as each driver was trying to out drive the other. Randy had the line and Ryan dove to the inside but trying to avoid hitting randy and a black flag he slid sideways and stuck him self into the barriers. At the halfway point Jereme would be all over Bj and make a clean pass moving him back into third and still looking at catching second. They would slightly spread out as the race progressed but not fourth and fifth. Randy caught Bj in fourth with only four laps remaining. Randy would show Bj a wheel going into the second one-eighty and make the pass stick across the finish line. In the midst of the battle Chase caught them as well. Chase would also be able to slide by Bj at the finish line leaving one lap left. Bj would get fired up and shoot right back by entering the first one eighty and hold him off to cross the checkered in fifth.

The A main would be the one to talk about tonight as we would see the new comer Theodore take home a one-one against a proven to be fast Jereme Wall. Along with the restart of the first A main there was a lot happening as well as in the B main. This will end the first half of the series and lead into a Week off. So get your practice in Wednesday with two four min. heats for only fifteen dollars. Then come prove your skill Wednesday May 30th for the second half of the Rockstar spring league 2 series.

The sixth and final round of the spring leagues kicked off this Wednesday and it was an eventful night. Many of the drivers are shooting for the chance to drive a rotax racing kart with our performance division. Points would be close and all come down to the nights finishes. The B main saw our points leader Scott R. in it for the final round due to a struggle in qualifying.

Scott would be the talk of the b main as he was gridded in eighth place for the start. Everyone made it through the start clean and saw the top four get a quick lead on the rest of the field. Bj C. started making passes quickly and was one of the drivers that pulled up next to Michael D. making the pass into third. A four-way battle made the front pack slow down a bit. Scott would be on the charge and at the half way mark, switching up his lines to make the passes on other drivers. By this point, Bj would be into first and have a nice little cushion. Scott caught the pack that was in front of him and was able to make smooth passes to get into second going into the first one-eighty. There wouldn’t be enough time to catch Bj. Coming to the finish Tom K. would be all over James C. but unable to make the pass. The top three would end with Bj. in first, Scott in second, and James in third. The second main had Scott starting right behind Bj. allowing him to put pressure on right away. Six laps into it, Scott would make the pass going into the split. Another battle that was continued into the second main was James and Toni. The battle would carry on well into the race with James able to hold everyone off allowing Derek B. to catch up. Derek was able to find his way around Toni with half the race remaining. James, still driving a great race, would drive slightly on the defensive side still maintaining his speed. Going into the second one-eighty Derek got slightly bumped and spun out leaving James with another gap that was needed. Coming down to the end they would catch back up and see James make a mistake in the last corner and loose two spots. Scott R would go 2-1 for the overall win hoping that would be enough points in the end.

A main wouldn’t see Jeremy Wall tonight. Being one of the front-runners in points, this mixed things up even more. Michael M. had a back of the pack start and would have his work cut out for him if he wanted to steal the championship away. It was a clean start with Greg W. passing John R. down the front straight then Philip S. around the finish line into first place. Chase T. would start in fifth and start making his passes starting with John into third. John would be able to keep the pace that chase was running looking to make a move back around him. With thirteen laps remaining, four drivers battled for second place. Ryan S. was locked into a battle with Brian C. and was able to make a pass with a better line around the finish line corner. Meanwhile Greg would be up front and extending his lead with his consistent driving. Michael M, the driver who would be looking to capitalize on Scott R’s misfortune, would be having a rough race in ninth place. With the laps winding down in the first main, the four drivers all battling for second would still be battling and trading positions. John would be trying to make the pass back on Matt A. but Chase would make a move on Philip at the split forcing him to the outside allowing Matt around as well. Coming across the finish it would end with Greg, Chase, and Matt on the podium. Into the second main event Michael would still be in ninth place trying to do everything he could to advance positions gaining well-needed points. Four laps into the race he would be able to make his way into fifth putting him into a group of five all battling for the second spot. Ryan would get a chance on Randy coming across the finish line and make the pass only to have Randy almost pass him back at the split. Battles would continue within the pack for over half the race, any driver making a slight mistake cost them multiple positions. Michael got around Matt at the split and would start catching Philip. Charging hard, he saw some of his fastest laps turning a few in the high 19 seconds. Once Michael caught Philip, he bumped him to make the pass. Michael, knowing the pass wasn’t clean, let him back around which allowed Ryan to close the gap and put more pressure on. He would try to make a move on Philip again but would be unsuccessful coming down on the last lap. Ryan saw an opportunity in the second one eighty and dove in hard trying make the pass on Michael. Michael had the inside on the last corner and was able to hold off Ryan across the checkered flag.

Wrapping up the league points would be a nail biter. Scott did the best he could do in the B main and Michael’s struggles in the first A main left everyone guessing while the points were tallied. After it was all said and done, the new champion would win it by a single point. Scott R. was able to squeak it out and be the new Unser Racing ROCKSTAR League Champion winning a day at the track driving a real race go-kart. Scott didn’t have an overall win and proved that consistency wins championships while Jeremy Wall ended in second and Michael M. in third. Both very close in points and sure to be back for the next leagues starting May 2nd with a new seven o’clock start time. If you haven’t made it out be sure to come earn your shot to be dubbed the Unser Racing ROCKSTAR League Champion.

This week, league qualifying was tough and saw some of the usual A main drivers spread out between mains with some even going into the C main. This could mix up points and make it an interesting night.

The C main had a clean start with James M. making moves quickly going from fourth place on the start to the lead by lap two. This would lead into a great battle between James M, Philip R., and James cook. The three of them drove bumper to bumper for four laps before James C. would try to make a move at the finish around Philip but was unable. Philip would make a move on the inside of the second one-eighty on James. This would cause him to drive wider then normal allowing James C. to follow through into second. Ryan S. would be making up time on the top three while they would be battling back and forth. Moving the battle back to third place. It would come down to the wire and with Ryan taking new lines trying to make a pass, Phillip S. would dive to the inside on the second one-eighty and make the pass going into the last lap. Main event two would have Ryan making the moves early. Passing both Philip S. and James M at the finish line. Philip would see Ryan go around James M. and try to do the same James would pick up on the line and not allow him by. With six laps to go Ryan caught up to James and put the pressure on. Again the battle would allow Philip S who turned the fastest lap to join the battle. James would drive slightly wide at the finish and allow Ryan to pull along side him. As they both were battling for the inside driving into each other Philip would make it three wide across the finish and pass them both on the outside. Ending with Philip R. in first, Philip S. into second, and Ryan into third.

B main number one would be a good start with Sean P. making a pass on Brian C. on the outside of the first one eighty but come into the second one eighty with to much speed and spin himself out. This would allow Brian to get around Toni K. only a few laps in. with the clean track ahead of him would be able to inch away each lap. BJ. C would be able to run some clean laps and start picking away at the gap between him and Toni. He would make the move after a couple laps of battling and leave Toni with another unwanted driver hot on his bumper. This would be Matt A. and with only two laps remaining he would look for a place to pass. He made one run at a pass coming up the checkered but would be a cart length back and not make it work. Main event two would see Brian starting on the pole after his earlier win but others looking to chase him down. Jacob U. the diver who spun early on race one would be putting the fast laps down in the high 19’s. The start finish line would be his spot to make passes. As he would pick drivers off one by one he would shave time of Brains lead. A tough pass would be to get around Toni and Matt quickly with only six laps to go but with a great line he would get around Matt at the finish and Toni going into the second one eighty. Everything would come down to the wire, as Jacob would catch Brian on the last lap. He would make a move with two corners to go and end up taking Brian out moving him back to fourth. Jacob would then slow down in the last corner waiting for Brian then crossed the line right behind him thus showing some of the great sportsman ship some drivers have.

A main saw a lot of mix up of drivers again this week with the randomization of the starting grid. Josh F. a new driver to the spring series would start on the pole. He would get a good start and be able to avoid any sort of mistake in the first turn. Scott R. and Randy G. would be right there putting on the pressure looking for any opening to get by. Just a little distance behind Michael M. and Jeremy W. would be racing bumper to bumper. Jeremy would be able to pull along side of Michael crossing the finish line carry more speed and make the pass on the outside of the first one eighty. Nine laps remaining Josh would be up front with Scott still all over him. Not fazed by the pressure Josh would turn the fastest lap of the race and 20.0. This would get him about a kart distance for the next 6 laps until Scott would be able to close the gap again and try and make a pass on the last lap last corner but would be just shy by a half a cart length. Going into the main event number two it would look to be a repeat. For the first five laps everyone would seem to follow and be in a single file line until they would start to group up and the action would begin. Jeremy W. in fourth place would be all over the bumper of Randy tapping the back of him around the track but not enough to earn a black flag. Eventually Jeremy would get just enough going into the split and Randy would try to squeeze to the inside and last second go to the outside and get into the barriers costing him a couple positions. Michael would be all over Jeremy as they went by and would soon make the pass on Jeremy. From here out the drivers would spread back out except the two front-runners Josh and Scott. These two would battle bumper to bumper but not make a pass leaving Josh to a back to back win which has only been done one other time before.

With only one round left, the points are tight and will most likely see a new champion. It’s still up for grabs and with the points as close as they are you can bet the last round will be the best one yet!

This week would start the second half of the league series and we start to see some development in the overall points. As mentioned last week, Jace would be back in points but would return this week. He was looking to drop week 3 and be back in the battle for the overall points. In the end, it was a close battle for the top five spots.

The C main would have seven drivers leaving more room on the track as well as better racing. John M. would start and look to pass quickly on Michael D. on the first lap but would be blocked. After two more laps he would be able to go to the lead entering the split while Michael took the outside. Derek B. would also make the move on the inside and quickly close the gap on Derek. This would turn into a good three-way battle very quickly. In the heat of the battle Toni would try to make the move on Derek bumping him and taking him out. He would earn a black flag loosing one position while depowered. This would put Derek to the back of the field and a lot of ground to make up in a short amount of time. He would make some great passes at the finish line moving through the pack, having speed that would make it look like drivers just moved out of his way. Back to back lap passes would be made at the finish line and with only one lap remaining he would catch the leader John M. with the pressure on he would again make the pass across the finish line and win by just Two hundredths of a second making four passes at the finish line on the last four laps. The second race wouldn’t see quite as much action. John M. would turn the fastest time by two tenths. Cody S would have a pretty good race as he would make the pass on John and hang with the quick driving of Derek until the last couple laps when Derek would gap him just a little to make it an easy finish of a one-one for him.

B main would start off clean and have Brian C. starting on the poll. Randy G. Last weeks winner of the A main would look to make the pass going into the second one eighty with a slight bump that was not enough to earn him a black-flag. Brian would hang right there for the next few laps and randy would take the outside of the split with seven laps to go allowing Brian to close the gap. Next lap around Randy would again take the outside letting Brian make an easy pass on the inside. Chase T. Jon R. and Sean P would have a good three-way battle for third going at one point going three wide across the finish line. Chase would be on the inside and be able to get around to take a comfortable third place. With the race on the last lap Randy would again have closed the gap on Brain but take the outside on the split loosing time and having no chance at a last min pass for the lead. The second main would have Brian slowly start to pull away as the race went on. James P. would pass John R. at the finish line with a better drive but would get passed back one lap later going into the second one eighty. John would turn the fastest lap time with a 20.2 a full two tenths faster then the rest of the field. Chase would also be tuning fast laps and catch up to Randy. With a failed attempt at a pass going into the second one eighty with three laps to go would lose ground that he made up and have no time to make it back up. Ending with Brian in first Randy in second and Chase in third.

The A main would see the randomizer set the fastest qualifier Jace H. on the pole and our top two in points Jeremy W. and Michael M. seventh and eighth. This would mix things up a bit and allow anything to happen. There would be a clean start and drive single file for about 4 laps. Then Jeremy and Michael would start trying to make their move. Jeremy would have the drive around the finish to pass Jacob U. and allow Michael to follow through on the inside. They would catch up to Matt A. and Jeremy would again show a wheel at the finish but this time not able to make the pass. At about the halfway point the field would start to spread except Jace H. and Philip R. in the front. There would be cart distance between them for the next two laps before Philip would catch Jace. Jace would start to Drive slightly defensive and allow Scott R to close the gap. Only five laps remaining it would be a battle for the top three. Scott would get around Philip quickly and set his eye on Jace. Scott would be looking for any way around. Coming around for the last lap Jace would drive extremely defensive making sure not to make any mistake. Jace would leave a slight opening coming into the last corner and Scott would make a push pulling up to the side of Jace but not be able to get the pass before crossing the finish. Jace would take the win with Scott right behind in second and Philip in third. Going into the second main would see a clean start. Michael M. who started in last the first main would be in fifth hoping to catch two very strong front-runners although they would prove to be strong and with in the first few laps would start to sneak away. Philip would feel the pressure and Matt A. to get to the inside going into the second one-eighty then going outside across the finish allowing Michael and Jeremy to make the pass on the inside. Michael would see the front-runners pulling away and see the urgency to make the pass on Matt and close the gap before it was to late. Michael tried to make a tough pass going into the first one-eighty Matt would shut the door and trying to avoid taking him out Michael slid and wedges himself into the barriers dropping back into last. We would see everyone pretty spread out after this with Michael making a last lap pass for a few needed points for the overall standings. Jace would go one-one after pulling away from Scott who had a big lead on third place Jeremy who started in Eighth for the second main.

There would be a clean sweep in all classes seeing Jace, Brian, and Derek all going one-one in there respected main events. This would make it the first time anyone has swept the A main. After missing last week Jace will drop that round in the overall points needing the sweep to make up those points. If the consistent driving keeps up it could lead him to a three-peat in leagues. Make sure to come to leagues Wednesday nights and see if you have what it takes to claim a win!

The night started off with the R.P.M race and with some drivers looking to use it to get a little edge on the rest of the competition. It was a tight race up front with the current points leader Jace Hansen getting out to an early lead with Jesse Runkle in a close second and Jeremy Wall ending in third. Jumping right into practice and qualifying after the R.P.M race all TV’s were shut off leaving drivers guessing there times and even some drivers trying to run stop watches on there phones. The D mains had 5 drivers advancing leaving David Spoelhof taking the final transfer position. It was a clean start with only one cart getting spun and pushed to the outside. Dan T would be that driver, he put his head down for a strong drive being two tenths faster then the field while making his way through the pack. There was a great battle in the front between Michael G. Tim V. and Chris T. the three drivers would trade positions making a great race. Tim V would edge out the other driver for the win. Chris T would cross in 2nd and be happy with a transfer and more laps to come in the C main.

Jeremy Wall a usual front runner in the A mains would struggle in qualifying leaving him with a Fourth place start in the c main. The first 180 came quick and with Jeremy W. trying to make quick moves he went to the outside and left Steve B. and Greg G. to get together and cause a first turn pile up. This would work for him and allow him to get into an early and comfortable lead. There would be close racing and few black flags while other drivers were trying for the second transfer spot to the B main. Tim V would make his pass by holding the Finish line turn tight to squeeze by down the front stretch. There would still be a close race for third, the battle resulted in those drivers all to be shut down at some point. This let Tim V secure 2nd and another transfer. He would be the first driver to complete in 3 mains in one night.

With the B main turning out some great racers there would be a clean start leaving, every driver still in the hunt for those two transfer spots into the A main. The halfway make would be the start of all battles at the front and the back of the pack. Tripp G would stick his cart into the inside on the second one 180 and make contact leaving him with a black flag and in a distant seventh. Jesse R would capitalize on all the battles behind him, this let him drive his own line. Jesse ran fast consistent laps which lead him to win the B main. Jeremy W. started in ninth place would make the finish line corner his signature passing spot, passing five drivers on his way to the front. Josh F. and Derek B. would trade positions for the transfer spot. Josh would make an unusual pass going two wide on the inside of the split. Getting a better drive down the back straight he made the pass. It would come down to the wire again with Jeremy making a last lap pass into third leaving him just shy of a transfer into the A main. Josh F. would be the final spot into the A main.

The last race of the night would be the A main and After a couple rough weeks with a lot of contact they would be warned before the race that all intentional contact would earn them a black flag with a long shut down, which could cost them valuable time and positions. The drawing for the invert would start out with Jack K. on the pole followed by Tyler T. The two new drivers to leagues had a veteran Jace H behind them in third. Jace would make fairly quick work of Jack into second and start his push to first. Tyler would hold him off for the first half of the race but would be loosing time by going wider going into the split. Jace wouldn’t only make up time on Tyler with this but make the pass here as well. Jesse R would start in the back and look to charge to the front by turning the fastest laps of the night. He would make most of his passes on the back section of the track and slowly catch up to Jack. When he did, the pass was made with contact allowing Jack to make the pass back while Jesse was being shut down. This battle was slowing them both down and Ryan M. would close the gap as well and make it a three way battle to the end. Jace would take the win followed by Tyler, Jesse, Jack, and Ryan to round out the top five.

With the night and series coming to an end the final points would be tallied. Bob S. the points leader for most of the series would be pushed back to eighth in points. With all the drivers dropping one round it mixed things up. With Dominic U. not showing up for the final round this would also drop him from a championship. The top five in points would end with Jace H. in first, Jeremy W. in second, Chase T in third, Jesse R. in fourth, and Dominic U. in fifth. The top Three Drivers would receive their prizes leaving the rest of the drivers looking to come back March 7th for the start of the Rockstar Spring league for redemption. Jace H. will have a Huge target on his back after winning back to back leagues, leaving only one question to be answered… Will you be the driver to finally knock him of the top step of the podium?

With 4 spots left in the C main, there would only be 2 drivers not transferring out of the D main. Brian C. would hold pole position for this race. This was his lowest qualifying position ever in leagues. When a smooth fast driver gets a clean track in front of them, they can be tough to beat as we have seen in the past. And that’s exactly what Brian C did. He gapped a lead from the first lap and lead from start to finish. This main was not just a one-man show, however. With 3 spots left there would be a heated battle between 2 drivers and with 10 laps to go another driver would join the battle. Brian M, and Dan T. started the race out next to each other and couldn’t seem to separate for the battle for 2nd. Michael G qualified in 30th position but showed that he knew how to race. Dan T was trying to make the pass in the last hair pin turn on Brian M during the first half of the race. Michael G was picking off drivers and closing the gap on them. With 8 laps to go Dan T’s heavy pressure on Brian M would pay off as he finally got by him across the finish line. On the same lap Michael G snuck by pushing Brian M back to 4th. With two laps to go, Michael G showed he had one more trick in his bag as he pulled to the inside of the split forcing Dan T to the outside. Michael G came out of the split first and clamed 2nd place. Even though Michael made it around Dan T and Brian M, they were awarded the rivalry award for their close racing and battle for 2nd for most of the race. Dan T would hold down 3rd when it was all finished.

Tripp G would be in pole position for the C main followed by 9 other drivers all fighting for 1 transfer spot to the B main. The start of the C main was not clean; this let Tripp G put almost 2 seconds between him and 2nd on the first lap. The race was red flagged because of timing transponder issues on one of the karts. The drivers were re-gridded in qualifying order and another stopped start would take place. The restart was clean. Tripp G would have no problem opening up a 3 second lead, 3 laps into the 20-lap race. The “no contact” sign would be shown to most of the field 6 laps into the race. Dan T, Brian C, and Shawn N would later be black flagged for contact. The black flag that Shawn N received hurt his chances of closing the gap on the leaders. Shawn N was slightly faster then Tripp G and Tyson W in front of him, yet Shawn N would never be able to make a pass attempt for the lead. Shawn would finish 3rd and Tyson G 2nd.

The B main was one to watch tonight. The point’s leader Bob S was sitting in 2nd grid position. With a past league night winner Jesse R sitting in 3rd grid. Andrew B would be the first kart to pull up to the starting line in the B main with a qualifying time of 20.372. Bob S held a tight line coming across the finish line, which seemed to be faster and this is where he would try to make the pass for the lead on Andrew B. Unable to make the pass, Andrew B and Bob S tied each other up letting Jesse R pull up on them. Jesse R would dive under Bob S on the final corner taking over 2nd place. With 19 laps to go the 4th place driver Jon R was holding the fast lap time. Scott R spun out Derek B while the 2 were battling for 5th place. From 4th place to 1st place the gap was 1 sec with 15 laps to go. Andrew B started driving a defensive line with hope to hold the lead down. Jesse R would use his patience and racing background to wait for a clean opportunity to make the pass. Jesse R has been known to receive a few black flags during leagues, but this pass was clean and on the last corner before the finish line. With Jesse R out front Bob S and Tripp G were still looking for away around Andrew B. Tripp G had made a strong charge from 10th to 3rd. Tripp G was on his way to winning the most passes award until he took himself and Andrew B out before the split. Andrew B who had pole position and a great chance at winning was taking out with just a few laps left. This was a tough break for Andrew B who later would finish 10th, this might be the round he drops in points but won’t soon forget. Jesse would cross first; Bob S in 2nd and Ryan G would be gifted 3rd from the accident with Andrew B and his brother Tripp G.

Greg W posted the fasted qualifying time with a 20.034. Since he drew a 5 for the invert he would start in the 5th grid position. This gave a new driver to leagues Tyler E pole position. He pulled to the finish line for the start a little wider then most others, this gave the drivers at the back a great chance to dive inside on the start and maybe come out of the start in the top 5. Jereme W who later had the fast lap time would be taken out down the first straight away on the start. Just a couple of laps in and the front 5 were tight and only half a second apart. Greg W was trying to make his pass on Tyler E. He set up inside of him coming into the last 180, but Tyler E was able to hold his line in the last corner and keep Greg W from passing. Greg W would attempt the same pass the next time but this time he was able to tuck under Tyler E in the last corner and make the pass. Tyler E showed great speed for little time on the track and might be able to score a win before the leagues were over. With 20 laps to go the top 4, Jace H, Tina R, Greg W, and Dominic U’s lap times were all 20 seconds flat. Greg was averaging a tenth of a second faster then the 2 drivers in front of him. Closing up on the leaders wouldn’t be the problem for Greg W, but lappers would be. As he went to make a pass around a lapper they spun out leaving nowhere for him to go but into him. He would get unstuck from the lapper but not until Dominic U went past him. The race was coming up on the finish and Tina R could not find away around Jace H. The battle for 5th was going to go to the finish line where Jesse R would tuck inside Cory M. Cory M would try and shut the door but it was a little to late as Jesse R was along side of him. Cory M crossed in 5th and Jesse R in 6th but later Cory M would be docked 1 position for his contact across the finish. Greg W wouldn’t be able to pass Dominic U back and Greg W would finish 4th. Jace H did what he needed to from the start to the finish and won the 3rd round.

Feels like the movie “Groundhog Day”. Another 3 rounds down and a new winner every round just like the winter league. The points have tightened up and we are unsure how they will play out because everyone will have to drop one round of points. Bob S leaves with a 7-point lead after 3 rounds.
