Default Recap:

Quick recap from racing on Sunday.

Overall Sunday was the largest turn-out of the summer with 31 entries. The layout was just the right mix of speed and handling, rewarding the driver who could go quickly through the tight sections. The "new" track barriers have proven to be very car friendly and also allow Hobbytown staff have the track up early for practice.

We had 6 cars racing in the "Truck" class on Sunday. There were a couple 1/16 scale, a few 1/18 scale, and a 1/10 scale racing together. Of all the racers in the main, all cars finished and were running well with Mike Harper taking the win.

We had 6 Mini Coopers. Mark Lyons had his M03-M Cooper running smooth through the corners and the bumps and took 1st. Houston Thomas was running a M03-L and finished 2nd. Overall the entire field was even with the bumps and corner dots really deciding the race. The "motocross" start in the main is probably the best part of the racing.

VTA saw 3 new racers on Sunday and continues to be the biggest class. Out of town racer Chris Poloncak improved his setup the most during the day and looked good in the main to take the win. Greg Cobb also had a good car and finished 2nd. Charlie Arterburn took 3rd on his first race outside.

13.5 Rubber TC had their biggest turn-out of the summer with 8 racers. Chris Poloncak had his Honda 2000 body/17.5 combo handling great to take the win. You could say realistic looks and handling was the winner. Mark Lyons also was running a 17.5 motor and came in 2nd. The best of the 13.5 drivers was Greg Cobb in 3rd.
