TCS Race Day 1

Well today was the first day of the TCS race held at Trackside (http://www.trackside.com/). After shoveling for the onehundreth time this year I made it to the track and to my surprise there were a lot of people there. Almost all the pit spots inthe track were filled. There were 21 heats on the carpet and 7 heats on the dirt track. On the carpet side of racing the classes were tight. Dave (AKA Ridge Racer) had a tough showing in the first round he had a DNF. His Second heat he had a better showing finishing the heat. He was looking good flying around the track with very little mistakes (we all have little mistakes going around the trackHere is a picture of Dave at his pit area.

Aaron R. had a good showing starting 4th in his heat and coming up 2nd in qualifying. Here is a picture of Aarons car and pit area.

After the 4wd class there was the rally cars (little tanks on wheels). Rally was a class that I was offered a rent a ride (loaner car) from Pete Dorn. but was unable to race due to all this snow and work. After the first lap of Scotty had Mikey Dibb soak one of the corners. the Rally cars then came into it and drifted that corner. it made for some fun and exciting racing. Some of the drivers picked it up fast others it took them a lap or two to get the hang of it. Here is a link to more pictures that i took at the race enjoy more to come after tomorrow's racing. http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/jj316/Kgrant_2008/
