1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, rock!


Getting behind in my updates, so here are the 1:00 and 2:00 reports.

I have been out taking photos and pointing a radar gun at fast cars. Which would you like to hear about first? Standings? Sure!

At 1:00pm
1. #26 - 118 laps
EC #23 - 117
2. #70 - 117
3. #49 - 116
4. #38 - 116
5. #58 - 115
6. #66 - 115
7. #33 - 111
8. #3 - 106
9. #99 - 105
EC #37 - 99
10. #6 - 99


Drivers told me they gain a few MPH after turn 2, and hit top speed just before they brake for turn 3, an acute right hander. So I stood near the braking zone for 3, catching cars before they nailed the brakes.
#23 - 107 mph
#3 - 107 mph
#26 - 106 mph
#66 - 106 mph
#33 - 104 mph
#70 - 104 mph

There are other fast cars but I didn't catch all of them. #23 & #3 were clearly the fastest.



The 2:00 report:
EC #23 Brake Dusters - 148 laps
1. #70 - 147
2. #26 - 145
3. #38 - 145
4. #66 - 144
5. #58 - 143
6. #49 - 142
7. #33 - 141
8. #3 - 135
EC #37 - 127
9. #99 - 126
10. #6 - 123

#49 Slugworks ran out of fuel on track but was able to limp back to the pits under its own power. #26 Shake N Bake was not so lucky, coming to a stop in turn 5 after running dry. A couple of rookie drivers stopped, so as not to pass another car under a yellow flag, which confused the more experienced driver of #33 and he passed one of them as it started moving again. That led to a quick stop-and-go penalty for #33.

#22 BMW is back on track after repairs were made.
