Open Track Day Report, November 30, 2024

Thanks to all of you who made the trek to Stewart Raceway for an open track day!

Despite the staggered arrivals, we completed four races and ample practice/tuning laps.

Team Maddox’s Abe Maddox won the first IROC race using Fast Lane Racing’s Viper V-SPEC F1/Indy Lexan cars. The other three races were our MegaG+ Modifieds, Team Forza’s IROC V-SPEC Lexan Camaro set, and we ended with Viper V-SPEC Lexan cars. All three races were hard fought but with a new SlotTrak fueling bug in the mix that made them even more challenging.  We have no idea where the bug came from since we’ve been using the same version of SlotTrak for over a year. Oh well, the joys of technology.

We may have to move away from SlotTrak since support is virtually nonexistent these days, and their latest version crashes on SR3. If we want to do fuel races, we may have to do it on SR2 until I can figure out how to get the latest version working on SR3 or find a replacement.

That said, we’re shooting for another track day event next Saturday. It could be a 50/50 race day with two builder classes and two IROC classes. That should wrap up the season. From there, I’ll total the points from each official 2024 race and determine the season champs for each category.

We need an update on Jerry’s cat, Peat. How’s he doing?

Stay tuned for details on the event next Saturday.

Okay, shut up and drive!
