The original plan was to set all of the heats by series points with a resort between each round. We didnt end up doing it like that we just did the resort between each round. So to keep it consistant thats how it is going to stay. The final Race I would like to set up by points to reward the racers making all of the races.

Yup 4am and Scott and I just rolled back into town.

We had 85 cars registers from 75 drivers. Full main results are posted on the RSJ website http://www.rsjraceways.com/

points will be updated asap. I want to thank John Weideman for writting us a program to take all of the results and do all of the calculations for us. Thanks again

And to Rick and Ben for running a great show. And also Mike Dibb for announcing help as well as Scotty for coming down and being such an "annoying american announcer" for us.

Thanks to Brad Johnson and the entire Hurricane Motorsports crew for all the support. As well as other sponsors RC Driver and Slick Zero. And of course all of the racers you all have come out in more than expected numbers to support the series thanks alot.

The final race will be at Trackside Sat April 2nd doors will open at 7am racing will start at 11am.

Thanks to the MTS crew, Hurricane Motorsports and RSJ Raceway for holding the event.

It was a long day of racing but overall it was a blast.

Just want to give props to Kevin Genthe of "The Den" for his assistance setting up grids and volunteer marshalling during the mains.

Also thanks to Mike Dibb for giving my voice a break during the 3rd round of qualifying.

Last but far from least, thanks to Scottie of "Trackside." His announcing of the Stock Rubber A Main event, really made the walls shake!

You guys and the excellent racing made this event an overwhelming success for everyone!

Default An Apology

I owe the crew at RSJ an apology. I acted stupidly there and am ashamed of my behavior. I let a bad couple of happenings ruin my day there. The track was very well laid out but I couldn't drive it cuz I'm too new at Sedans yet.

Some people may not care that I am doing this, but I'm doing this cuz I know better than to be so childish. Again, I apologize to the Crew, RD, and all the Racers.
