Opening Night on the Oval

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.

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.
