Here's the results of the top 5 in this class. By far not the closest finish we've had..but not bad racing.

Race# 3 -- 17.5/lipo - A Main --
Pos Car Laps time name id avg.mph

1 4 30 5:09.10 Larry Ruby 29 54.26

2 6 30 5:10.55 Brett Patti 7 54.01

3 5 29 5:08.38 Arnold Brittain 25 52.58

4 8 28 5:02.24 Art Hernandez 13 51.79

5 3 28 5:04.04 Brian Bond 30 51.49

There was a pretty good wreck or two from guys who were doing door to door...and didn't give it up...as far as having to RACE for the WIN - Yes the cars are sometimes as far as 20 -25 ft. separated...(At close to 80 feet per second that's .2 - .3 seconds separated which can be made or lost in a single corner drifting off the preferred line.)

Compare that to our SUMMER event with 7 of the 10 on the lead lap...separated by 6 seconds (just over 1/2 lap)
