Thumbs up Jordan takes the first win!!

Great day of racing guys!!! 14 F1 cars to start us off!!

Podiums for each class looked like this:
F1
Kevin Lesac------123
Ken McKinney----122
Mark Z----------121

Trans Am
Ken McKinney----118
Tim Ski----------117
Kevin Lesac------115

Figured out quite a few things to do different next time. Next step is to keep working on everyone's cars to make the racing even close.

Hope everyone had a good time!!

The next race will be September 23rd on the asphalt in Lincoln!! Put this on your calendar, I really would like to see as good a turnout as we got today. The Lincoln track is much bigger so prepared to gear up!! Having run the F1 cars at the last HOA race, I'd say these cars are really suited to the big, wide open track. Let's all talk over the next few Wednesdays and get a car pool situation worked out so we can make this work for everyone. Let's keep this momentum going and grow this class and series even bigger!!!

Thanks!!


Tim Ski

Tim, thank you for setting this up...and I think you did an awesome job. We met the spirit of UF1 and to be honest, it was a lot of fun I like how we did the pit stops, it was effortless for racer and Pit man both.

Personally, I don't feel I drove well at any time today. The car itself was pretty good, I just didn't get to a point where I trusted it. I wasn't driving my VTA car well today either and I have all the faith in the world in that car...so it was obviously all me lol.

It was all fun as always!

Had a ton of fun today guys, even with 2 broken top decks! Looking forward to next month. Looks like I either need to buy the vta I drove today or find another.

Fun racing today. Just unhappy about giving up a point with only a couple laps to go.

That is the first time I have EVER had a motor thermal!!!

Time to say goodby to the little blue wire.

Looking forward to the next one. I think everyone will like the Lincoln track.

Hmm, I don't feel quite so bad now:

Darnell, Cliff; Fast Lap - 13.384

The car was handling well near the end of the 3rd Main, but I didn't know it was THAT well. I know I never got marshalled over the wall or cut the track...maybe Ferarri's #1 fan (TQ) blipped the computer for me?

He probably sabotaged it because it wasn't a Chevy.

Thermal?!? That really sucks! If it wasn't for that, you and Kevin would have been tied for the day.
