*U-6 & U-5 both jumped the gun and had
to run an additional lap.
David Bryant drove the U-10 to his first unlimited victory. The
was also the first race that Bryant could actually "race", meaning
that they didn't make the rookie stay outside & at the back. Congrats
to David & the U-10 team!

*Rookie to start on outside & behind the
pack.
**Jumped the gun, 1 lap penalty.
Muscatel went dead in the water just after the start but was
able to get the U-25 restarted and go on to finish, I believe
a 3rd place. The flags appeared to be wrong at the end
of the race, not giving Perkins the checkered on for the 2nd
place finish. I will keep you posted.

Brian Perkins & Dave Williams were allowed
to race up on the front line for this heat, they were just told
"not to be too competitive". Perkins had an awesome
start right on the money!
Provisional Heat saw U-13 take the win,
U-48 take 2nd, U-21 jumped the gun & DNF, U-25 DNS, and the U-100
withdrew.

*1 lap penalty for lane encroachment.
It looked like the entire field came to
race. Bernard made a play for lane 1 and got it. Theoret took lane 2, David
lane 3 and Villwock was left with lane 4. The Oberto &
Elam jumped out in front by the end of turn 2. The Oberto
seemed to have found some extra speed, maybe from that new habenero
jerky, and pulled away from Dave & the Elam. But that
burst of speed wouldn't last as Villwock powered past David on
the outside. Back in the pack, J Michael Kelly pushed his
way through the pack to move from the trailer position to 4th
place.
