Sunday brought us a break from the rain, but a mostly wet track for our first pre-season event of 2020. We had a good turn out with 26 racers and A LOT of spectators (nearly 80 folks signed our waiver!). The day went off without much drama, other than running through our rental helmets pretty quickly which required some staging lane shenanigans to make sure everyone who needed a helmet had one on their head by the time they got to the starting grid. It was great to see so many new people and I hope that we’ll see you again at our next event.

Post race, there was a good natured protest of the PAX results, and it was determined that the announced winner was actually not in the right car class due to equipment, so the Top Time of Day and PAX win both officially go to Andrew Barbitta in his totally hooked up Subaru WRX. Other class winners included Richard Dunbar in Street, Troy Dewell in Touring in a STS Miata, Shawn McNeely for Modified in his turbo Miata, and our fastest novice (and 3rd overall) was Michael Williams in a fairly wicked WRX STI. Of course, pre-season is just bragging rights – no points are tallied until we start our regular season in April. Remember that if you have made changes to your car since you last raced, be sure to see if you need to move to a new class.
Our next pre-season race is coming up on Sunday, February 23rd, and we hope to see you there!
