Thursday May 28th, 2015
Thursday night brought out the die-hard racers, with only 5 competing. On the card for the evening was the Open Wheel cars, Scalextric INDY Dallara and Vintage 60's GP.
Racing first was the INDY cars. With the top 4 drivers leading at least 2 laps and a total separation of 3 laps across the field the racing was intense. Taking the early led was Scott running a median time of 8.856 sec., and would eventually finish 2nd to Dean by only a matter of feet, with 59 laps each. John led 4 laps on his way to 3rd place and 58 laps, while Mark finished 4th at 57 laps. Clem had some early car trouble, and switched from his Team Penske Marlboro car to the Danica Patrick Motorola to finish 5th with 56 laps.
Second on the card was the Vintage 60's GP. There were 2 classes on track, the faster with stock motors and the slower with 14k motors. Scott edged out Dean for the faster class 54 to 52. For the 14k class Mark took the win over John and Clem, 50, 47 and 45 laps respectively.
When the track settled, there was still enough time to run an IROC race, and KRP was able to provide some previously untested, or the KRP track, cars to be used... and no-one knew what to expect. The #14 in the red lane proved to be the toughest car to drive, while the #42 in white was the smoothest and the #29 in yellow was the fastest. With only a 6 lap separation and a same lap finish for 2nd and 3rd the racing was close. Scott made a strong comeback to take the win at 57 laps. Dean was able to sneak around Clem, who had the dominate run leading the most laps, and finish ahead on the same lap with 56. Mark led 9 laps to his 4th place run and John finished 5th for a total of 51 laps.
