While Round 2 was expected to see a full field of drivers, five were unable to appear for Saturday’s event.
The good news was four drivers rolled through the gates in time to start racing. Well, actually a couple strolled through the gates due to a landscaping crew blocking the entrance to Stewart Raceway.
Anyway, we got a bit of a late start but with only four drivers, the schedule would certainly get compressed. In fact, after the first race, we shut down the two gutter lanes and started racing with just four of the six lanes on SR3.
The short story is George Peters remains the series points leader after two rounds. While the summary results tell a different story, the battle for this round was a lot closer. In fact, several races were lost on the final lap or final corner. That’s exciting racing!

Round 2 was NASCAR racing on the SR3 road course, which meant slightly shorter segments but still six races, including a feature race of 150-laps with Jag Hobbies NC-2 cars with NASCAR livery.
Race 1: Tyco 440-X2 “Wide-Pan” Stock Cars (15v)
Jerry Pearson started out his racing debut with a solid second-place finish in the first heat and a very close Run Time to the winner of the heat. The number 7 Lumina body was lowered by GP Designs (George) and worked quite well. Detailed Results
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 120 | 16 | 1131.07 |
| 2 | George Peters | 111 | 13 | 1162.899 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 102 | 11 | 1160.71 |
| 4 | Jerry Pearson | 95 | 7 | 1224.1 |
Race 2: OS3 TFX “Lites” NASCAR Bodies (18v)
This was Jerry’s first crack at a “gravity car” race but he actually did pretty well, staying very close in total laps for many heats and increasing his lap times throughout the race. George–again– was very close and he had the best median lap time. Detailed Results
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 120 | 16 | 1497.009 |
| 2 | George Peters | 111 | 13 | 1537.096 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 106 | 11 | 1532.322 |
| 4 | Jerry Pearson | 99 | 7 | 1545.817 |
Race 3: Jag Hobbies TR-3 Augorans (IROC) (15v)
This was another hotly contested race with George and Kevin Webster both winning heats and Jerry besting Kevin by one lap in the final segment. The TR-3’s used are slightly hopped-up with Jag IFE fronts and DF rear wheels. Details
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 79 | 16 | 710.183 |
| 2 | George Peters | 79 | 13 | 720.339 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 71 | 11 | 759.035 |
| 4 | Jerry Pearson | 66 | 7 | 718.049 |
Race 4: Jag Hobbies NC-2 “Lites” NASCAR Livery (15v)
The”Feature”race was another barn-burner with plenty of drama and controversy. We lost Jerry after the lone IROC race but the three remaining drivers soldiered on through the rest of the schedule using only three lanes and Call Buttons to manage the racing.
Home Cook’n clearly had the better car in the feature race thanks to the use of a Johnny Lightning Thunderjet500 “Pull-Back” snap-on body. We use some of their screw-on bodies for the TFX cars. They make two versions: one for T-Jet screw-on bodies; and one for snap-on AFX bodies. There was some discussion after the races about this body not being commercially available but clearly, it is.

| 2 | George Peters | 144 | 13 | 1422.24 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 137 | 11 | 1413.449 |
Race 5: Jag Hobbies PR-5 “Lites” NASCAR Livery (15v)
Yet another hotly contested race with George Peters very narrowly losing this one to Home Cook’n again. Kevin Webster kept up the good fight, only losing a couple of laps per segment, but first and second were both neck and neck on total laps and just two seconds separating them at the finish–that’s close!! Details
| Place | Name | Laps | Points | Total Time |
| 1 | Steve Stewart | 60 | 16 | 697.351 |
| 2 | George Peters | 60 | 13 | 699.638 |
| 3 | Kevin Webster | 53 | 11 | 709.432 |
Race 6: Viper-Jet (SPEC JET) NASCAR Livery (12v) 
The final race of the day was nearly a repeat of Race 5, with only tenths of a second separating George Peters and Home Cook’n in the final two segments. Kevin Webster remained focused but didn’t have a Lexan body prepared and was forced to run a hardbody, which is obviously a disadvantage in this class.
This was also a “Concourse” race, in which George easily bagged those style points with a nicely prepared Lexan Lumina (middle). Detailed Results

Again, thank all of you who braved the heat and beach traffic to come out in the sticks and race little cars with us. Round 3 of the NASCAR MADness Series is slated for June 25, 2022. Stay tuned for details.
