KYOSHO FALL CLASSIC RACE: SHORT REPORT

Track Picture = actual race layout. Technical & fun, good job R241 staff.

Fall Classic being the follow up to the Summer Shootout produced another great gathering of SoCal mini z enthusiasts and amazingly even thought the total number of racers was about the same ,about half were new to the mini-Z scene this time! A good chunk of the regulars could not be there due to schedule conflicts.

Micro-E and Greenpea you guys sure missed a fun day, hopefully next time...these being quarterly trophy races.

Super short highlights:

- Box stock: in A-main 1st place finisher from Summer Shoot out Opi and local track Hot shoe Tsukada locked horns from start to finish in a close battle with Tsukada finishing on top at the end. Myself who finished first in heat 1 and heat 2 faded to a distant third for the first half of the 8 minute A-main due to keeping tire warmers on for too long on the rears, 2nd half when temps had equalized car started working again and finished right behind 2nd place probably only 2 seconds behind...oh yeah, that and a dime will get me half a donut at Winchell's but there is the report

- GT Stock: seriously fast racers Ryan Crabb and Brian Ma battled all the way...at the end Ryan drawing the short straw after a bumpy incident was able to close in but not managing to catch Brian who finished first.

- Kyosho Cup: Tsukada killed it ( i think? need to eat more peanuts for improved memory)

Smashing event...looking forward to Winter version already confirmed & coming soon, stay tuned!
