Results from Saturday May 12th, 2012 Figure 8 race at Marshall's plus who won 300 lap Slash figure 8 endurance race.

A rather light turn-out; 27 total; for the 6th race of this 8 week series. Weather probably had something to do with this, it was a beautiful day and evening. I know a rainy day would bring in a few more. We still had enough for some very good racing. The largest class, as usual, was the Traxxas Slash class with 16 entries. Story of the night was Holly Bryer bumping from the C main to the  B main, starting last in the B, and winning the seven truck B to bump to the A. A very good night for Holly. Unfortunately, I think she is starting to figure out this different type of racing. For those who don't know, Holly is my grandaughter and likes to rub it in when she beats her grandfather which she did on this night. Soundly; I might add.

Other results as follows:

Car Figure 8--4 entries--Mason Havenstrite TQ'd, but Jeff Macmullen won the main. Mason salvaged second place, and Shawn O'Heren finished third.

Novice Slash/Truck Figure 8--4 entries--Mike O'Brien, Jr. TQd and won the main. Miles Havenstrite took second and first time racer Riley Doyle rounded out the top three.

Slash Figure 8--16 entries--Mike O'Brien, Sr. TQd and won the A main. Mike Cosgrove took second and T.J. O'Heren was third.

Stadium Truck Figure 8--3 entries--T.J. O'Heren TQd and won the main. Shawn O'Heren was second and Eric Shaver third. If Eric keeps at this sport he will be a winner. Eric is just a young lad and is already a very good driver.

Traxxas Slash 300 Lap Endurance Race

At the end of regular racing on this night, we reset the computer for a 300 lap Slash endurance race on the figure eight track. This race featured teams of three racing one truck. Four teams entered. After 38 minutes of racing the team of Mike O'Brien Sr., Mike Cosgrove, and Brayden Knickerbocker took the win. All of the trucks finished. None of them had any major problems. Speaks well for the durability of these Traxxas vehicles. The three winning drivers will receive special air-brushed t-shirts for their efforts.

See you next week.
