Round 3 of the series was all IROC and all fuel management races. House and racer supplied cars made for a very fun day on the oval.

The first race of the day was house provided OS3 TFX box-stockers with 1968 Camaro bodies from Jag Hobbies.

Second race was with the house Viper Scale Racing Retro-Viper IROC set. Another very zippy platform ideal for oval track racing.

Up third was another IROC race using box-stock MegaG+ 1.7 chassis’ with Tomy F1/Indy bodies from Kevin Webster’s stable of IROC cars. Everybody enjoyed this set a lot.

The fourth race of the day was yet another IROC set of box-stock MegaG+ 1.7 chassis’ but this time with 1970-ish Camaro hard bodies. Again, from Kevin Webster’s stable of way cool IROC cars.

Race 5 was yet another IROC set of house Jag Hobbies TR-3 chassis’ with un-kitted Augoran hard bodies. Jordan Walker landed a 3rd-place podium spot in this hard fought race.

The last “official” series of the day employed another IROC set of Wizzard Storm gravity cars with dual-compound rear tires courtesy of Kevin Webster. Very exciting cars but unpredictable offs due to the choice of rear tires.

The last race of the day was a fiercely competitive finale using the house Tyco-Jet IROC set. This was a very close one with George Peters besting Brad Sandahl by just three laps and Kevin Webster pipping Jordan Walker by the same number of laps.

Overall results for Round 3, a day on the oval.

Final race results for Round #2, Saturday, October 2, 2021. We ran three IROC races followed by three Builder class races.

First off, thank you for coming out to the sticks to play with little cars Saturday!
I think everyone had a great time and the race format seems to be in pretty good shape. The general consensus was that fuel racing is a great feature to employ and most feel we should keep that element in the mix. Of course, we don’t always have to run fuel races but this race series will always have at least 50% fuel racing.
The other prevailing idea was that we should increase the lap count for the road course. We’ll need to discuss how many laps but it sounds like 25 might just be the ticket.
The fuel setup we had at 20-laps seemed to work well but may have to be tweaked for 25-laps, we’ll see.
The full results and points standings are posted on my web server. The file names have the dates and a description of the contents. Also: the points system, race results summary, and the points standings are also posted.
The big story of the day was G-Man arriving late and missing the first race. Then the Race Director screwed up and didn’t get him in the line-up for the second race. Sucks being late but G-Man finally got down to business in the third race, finishing fourth and then handily winning the final three races of the day!

Looking at the results, it is clear that every driver had some very good results and certainly drove hard the whole day. 

Remember:

1. I’m (Home-Cooking) not in the running for the series awards so all I do is waste points that otherwise could be useful to other drivers. 
2. Every finishing position after third get extra points for each driver they finish ahead of in each race. This adds up, so keep racing for every position available!

For you time-challenged folks, here’s the current series standings: 

• Ian Douglas ……… 68.25
• George Peters ……60
  Greg Kondrek …….57.75
• Mike Andrews …….56
• Russ Toy …………..36.5
• Kevin Webster …….34.75
• Jordan Walker …….28.25

Not likely to have another race at Stewart Raceway until the second week of September. Hopefully, Randy will do something while I’m on vacation. If not, hang in there! We’ll get back to racing here ASAP!
