With the heavy rain that has been going on over the last day or so and today, racing was cancelled.  Hopefully things can be rescheduled to make up the round of racing.

Round 1 of the Gen 6 Point series at HobbyTown Gilbert

Saturday, November 9th, 2013

Round 1 of the Gen 6 point series is in the books.  It was a great day of racing, and I had a blast.  It was a great turn-out for round 1, for the Gen-6 Pancar division there was 13 entries and in the Gen-6 Sedan class (my class) there was 17 entries.  I wanted to do a full write up of each qualifier and the mains, but I lost my notebook with all the laps times, etc.  I will try to do better for the next 5 rounds.  My car for this round really started coming around, and I was able to do a personal best with 40 laps in the first qualifier.  I ended up qualifying for the B-Main, which with this series, the winner of the B gets to move into the A-Main.  I ended up finishing in 3rd in the B, which for round 1 has put in 9th in the points.

All setup in the pits, one of these days I need to
get a Canopy/Tent for some shade..

Like I said earlier, I lost my notebook pages with all the qualifiers, laps etc, so for this post I will just post the point standing.
