Racing Review

Racing this week was on the Oval at Warrior Run Raceway. Drivers braved the snow and ice to compete on the 16'x6' track. The first class was Modern NASCAR, and was contested through heats, a consolation and a feature race. Finishing victorious overall was JJ at 295.20 seconds for 100 laps. Scott was right behind, at 300.60 seconds. An honorable mention for Mark taking the last qualifier spot with a 3rd place in the consolation race.

The Scalextric INDY class ran a 100 lap main event. Bryan, with his ground effects, finished first at 271.405 seconds. The rest of the racers competed without added down force. Scott finished in 290.448, Dean at 301.394 and Mark, with the last podium position, came in at 304.342.

Here are the results from this past week.

Thanksgiving Invitational

Sam Sr., Tony, Chip and Mike T race in the 3rd heat

Tuesday, November 25th, 2014 marked by my count the 4th annual Thanksgiving Invitational at S&S Speedway. A little history for the race, it started as the Chicken Chucker 250 with JJ winning the event. Slot.it C class cars were used. The second year, Hines Spotted Dick came on board for the Spotted Dick 250, and they remained the title sponsor for 2013 as well. For 2013, the race class changed to the 1/24 scale H&R chassis IMSA GTO cars were used. With the economy not really flourishing in the American Bread Pudding market, Hines Spotted Dick brought another British favorite along to help sponsor the race for 2014. Mr. Brain's 4 Pork Faggots Thanksgiving Invitational presented by Hines Spotted Dick became the official name of the event. Along with the name change the race organizers decided to change the car class as well. This year the Racer Sideways Daytona Prototype cars were chosen to compete.

John, JJ, Bill W, Evan and Sean marshal

The race format was also changed this year to be a team race. Each team had to use both drivers cars 2 times each, for each driver to race a total of 4 times. The race consisted of 8 heats per team, of 5 minutes each. Teams will be chosen by qualifying with the fastest driver with the slowest driver, the second fastest with the second slowest, and so on.

Qualifying began around 7:30 with all 12 drivers completing 5 laps, with the fastest lap counting for scoring purposes. When it was completed, the six teams were set. Scott and Mike T, JJ and Tony, Chip and Sean, Clem and John, Sam Sr. and Mark and Bill Wand Evan were the teams.

The racing began, and team strategy became the discussion as teams were looking for the most opportune situation. At the halfway point, JJ and Tony were in the lead with Scott and Mike T behind. After 20 minutes of racing, the finish order looked like this.

Finishing Order, Bottom left to top right.
Tony & JJ, Mike T & Scott, Sam Sr. & Mark
Clem & John, Chip & Sean, Evan & Bill W

JJ & Tony --------------- 300 Laps
Scott & Mike ---------- 294 Laps
Sam Sr. & Mark ----- 288 Laps
Clem & John ---------- 287 Laps
Chip & Sean ---------- 287 Laps

Recap from Sept. 25th

The Carrera DTM cars used for the IROC style 3rd race

This week KRP introduced a possibility for a new class, the Carrera DTM series. These cars are great in stock form, even with stock tires. In testing at KRP they were consistently running in the mid to high 8 second range, with an occasional low 8. These cars were used for an additional 3rd race, due to the swift completion of the regular classes. Included in this series of cars (pictured left) are the AMG-Mercedes C-Coupe DTM (yellow/red), the Audi A5 DTM (blue) and the BMW M3 DTM (black). There is an additional livery for each model available in the US, others available in Europe only.

KRP will attempt to run 3:00 minute heats for all classes moving forward, and maintaining records for each class as well.

Trans-Am

This week was Stock class, allowing only tuning and tires. Dean brought his a game and finished 1st with 59 laps. Scott cam in 2nd with 57 laps, and Mark got a podium finish of 3rd with 56 laps. 1st through 6th had only a 7 lap difference.

NASCAR

The Modern class of NASCAR is usually a favorite of everyone. This week brought the best and closest racing of the night. With all 8 drivers within 5 laps and 2 3-way ties for position by laps! 1st was Scott with 59 laps, and Joe just edging out Dean and Tony for 2nd with 56 laps each. John had a strong finish in 5th with 55 laps, and Bill, Mark and Mike finished in that order with 54 laps.

Carrera DTM IROC

The IROC race was thrown together, and the cars were fast! 59 must have been the magic number for the night, with Scott in 1st place with as many laps. Dean and Tony for 2nd and 3rd with 57 laps, and John (55 laps) and Bill (54 laps) finishing out the top 5.

Summer Team Endurance Series continues

Thursday June 11th, 2014 will be the second race of the Kozo Raceway Park Summer Team Endurance Series. After an exciting first race, and a very enjoyable format, KRP has decided to continue with this series for the remainder of the summer. The race and qualifying format is to remain the same, with the exception of  the breakout time, which is still to be determined if it will be used or not.

The cars to be used are Racer or Flyslot Daytona Prototypes

Daytona Prototype (DP)

• Racer Sideways or Flyslot Daytona Prototype
• Motor limited to 18,000 RPM, Flyslot may use stock motor
• Motor must be inline mounted
• Gearing is open
• Wheels 17mm maximum, Flyslot with stock motor 15mm maximum

Memorial Day Cup Results

Starting Order
Mark & Clem (3rd) Dean & Bill (2nd) Joe & Scott (1st)

Thanks to the racers that were able to make it for the inaugural KRP Memorial Day Cup. Qualifying sorted out the teams of Scott & Joe, Dean & Bill, and Clem & Mark. The teams decided to extend the race, and use both team cars, 6 heats each. With the extended race, we went form 6 heats to 12 heats. Also after qualifying, management decided to handicap the fastest drivers, with a 8.200 second break out. Scott fell victim to the break out 12 times, and was unable to recover from the lost laps.

Finishing Order (Back to Front)
Scott & Joe 3rd
Bill & Dean 2nd
Clem & Mark 1st

The rest of the race panned out like this. Some strategy decisions made by the teams gave an interesting turn for the race. Dean & Bill decided to use the fast car first, and rode that to a heat win in white, with a total of 6 heat wins, the most of everyone. Both teams, Clem & Mark and Scott & Joe elected to start with the slower car. As the dust settled, Clem & Mark came back with 4 heat wins, while Scott & Joe were able to sneak in for 2 heats.

Again with team strategy, Dean made chassis adjustments, and had a flat tire to start the 11th heat. After looking through the data, it appears this is when the pass for the lead by Clem & Mark was made. At the midway point of the race, Clem & Mark and Dean & Bill were tied.

Scott & Joe were able to lead 1 lap, while Dean & Bill lead for 47 laps and Clem & Mark lead the most, at 374 laps.

You can review all the race data in the following links.

KRP Memorial Day Classic

Kozo Raceway Park is proud to host the Inaugural Memorial Day Classic. The race will actually be on Thursday night instead of on Memorial Day itself. Rules are going to be simple, and I would like to use this format for a summer points series.

We will run 5 minute heats, with each driver running 3 heats, exception to a 3-man team, at 2 heats each.

The cars will be any Slot.it Group C or IMSA cars. The motor must be the 18k RPM H&R Blue Hawk, in inline configuration. The wheels must be 15 x 8mm, and have proper inserts. Tires for this race must be Slot.it. Gearing is open choice. Guide flag, braid and lead wire is also open choice.

Doors will open at 6:00 and racing will start around 7:30. With up to 18 drivers, 9 teams, we should be done before 9:45, easily. Hope to see you all at the track!

Past week, and upcoming events.

Clem (first car), Frank and Bill W. at the line

 First up was the Trans-Am class. Racing was tight with some close quarters passing. Everyone kept the cars tracking nicely and there was a minimal amount of nerfing. Heat wins stacked up like this, Scott (3), John (2), Bill (1), Sam Sr. (1). There were only two drivers to lead at least one lap, and that was Scott (56) and John (1).

The full results can be viewed here.
Trans-Am




Next race was the '65-'72 Vintage Endurance cars. The vintage cars proved to be the best racing of the night, with very few mistakes.

Racing returns to S&S Speedway for Thursday, May 8th, 2014. The classes are Trans-Am stock and Group 5 18k spec. As always, the rules can be found at the top right of the blog.

Racing May 1st, 2014

Racing returns to Kozo Raceway Park this week with the H&R 1/24th scale classes. Please make sure your rear axles fit the template width 3.25". I will be checking for rear tire width, as well as overall car body width. The body width is to make sure we do not have two "large" bodies next to each other. This will help to facilitate clean passing. The 1/24 cars have been tested at KRP and we have run three of them at a time, so we know it is possible.

Hope to see you all at the track!

Opening Night on the Oval

Bill W. , Tom 2, Mark and John during practice

Tonight was opening night at the KRP Annex at Warrior Run Raceway four lane oval track. The haulers were plentiful with six teams bringing multiple cars each. The Modern NASCAR class ran well, most lap times around 2.8 seconds. Monogram vintage NASCARs also fared well, with great handling through the corners. The stock Scalextric Indy cars were last to hit open practice, but were one of the faster classes present.

There was a request for two test races, to break in the track. First up was Modern NASCAR, and bow was it a blast. Every driver was able to win a heat, and the racing was close. There was only an eight lap difference between 1st and 5th. Lap times were even across all racers, with the inside lane usually having the better over the outside.

Next up was a special request for Mark, the stock Scalextric Indy cars. Just like their 1:1 counterparts, a few cars managed to loose their front and rear wings during crashes. The action on track did eventually calm down long enough to see some good racing. In the last heat Bill W. in blue was neck and neck with Scott in white, and that lasted almost all heat long.

Overview of track

brought ALL the cars out

Thanks to everyone who came out to shake down the track. Also, thanks for your patience with the maintenance crew during the early delay for electrical issues.

The Week that Was, and the Week that Will Be

This past week say some tight racing in both the Vanquish Can-Am and Modern NASCAR classes. A lower car count made for a quick evening, with both races finished before 9:15!

Can-Am
John showed a major improvement this week, battling for the heat wins in all four lanes. Bill W. was on a leisurely stroll, shaking down his recent addition to the Watkins Racing stable, and had the best looking car on the track. Scott got the win, with Dean a close second.

NASCAR
Through perseverance and determination Joe knocked down the competition for an upset win. Sam Sr. had what looked to be the fastest car on the track, with Scott close behind. Only Sam would finish on the podium. Mark took his turn with a new car, and finished respectively for the maiden voyage.

Next Week, April 14th
Racing will be held at S&S Speedway, with Daytona Prototype and NSR GT classes.

Daytona Prototype (DP)

• Racer Sideways or Flyslot Daytona Prototype
• Motor limited to 18,000 RPM

There will be a tech inspection for rear wheel and overall width... The overall width is not a mandated size, though i would hope most of the cars are under 3-3/8", but will be used to determine which drivers can race next to each other, and which cannot.

Racing Returns to S&S Speedway April 17th

The Weekly Series returns to S&S Speedway this week featuring our Modern NASCAR class and Vanquish Can-Am.

New Timing and Scoring system

Thanks to Bill W.,Dean, Evan, Joe, John, Mark, Sam Sr., and Sean for putting up with the new timing system. Deciding to race the Carrera Group 5 Lighted class first proved to be an interest trial run for Race Coordinator. Some very interesting features allowed for some new information to be displayed of the race screen. Sam Sr. was able to arrive in time to race in the Trans Am Stock race, and we were glad to have him for his first slot car race in 4 weeks!!!

Carrera Group 5 Lighted Results
Trans Am Stock Results

Carrera Group 5 class started at dusk, finishing in twilight. The race started with Mark showing promise, leading 4 laps, and setting one of the faster laps at 8.999 sec. in white, finishing 2nd overall! Evan had a strong race closing out the podium at 3rd, with 1 lap lead. First place went to Dean, setting a blistering average pace of 9.585 sec. over all three lanes and leading 52 laps. The fastest lap times went to Mark in red, 9.018, and Scott in white and blue, 8.891 and 9.037.

The Trans Am class saw some more consistent marshaling and driving. Sam Sr. arrived in time to race, and I bet he is glad he did!!! Sam was untouchable as his Pioneer Mustang was on a rail leading 37 laps. Setting the fast laps in all three lanes, 8.882 8.282 8.532, and an average of 9.272. Finishing second was Dean falling just one lap short. Third was Scott who lead 21 laps, with Bill W. an honorable mention tied on laps, finishing 4.79 sec behind Scott.
