Awesome Summer Opener!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our first summer club race yesterday. The weather was perfect and we had a great turnout! Big thanks to Tiny W for making the trip from the Lower Mainland and to Cody W for travelling down from Nanaimo!
The track layout is slightly different this year and it seemed to work well. Grip was pretty good for a totally green parking lot and we saw a lot of good racing throughout the day. Everyone made the transition from carpet to asphalt very quickly.
TC Stock 21.5 was quite competitive at all levels, with Craig R being just a tick ahead of the field for the entire day.
Dan L showed some new pace, eventually making the A-Main which was great to see.
Phil C made an awesome last-corner pass on Gord W in a great race in the C-Main. It was fun to watch that one.
All our newer drivers all ran super clean all day. Matthew C and Austen F were the class of the field until Austen's steering failed at the very end of his main causing him to miss the bump-up. Shout-out to Cameron H for completing his first ever pavement race!
Rob F was impressive in the Nitro main. He's getting used to a new car and managed a hot lap only two-tenths slower than the TQ holder Dalyn S.
It was great to see Brian B running his Nitro car for the first time. Honestly, just finishing all the races while getting faster each time is a big win in Nitro!
Gerry B was one to beat in large heat of USGT cars, and Jay J would take the win in a small group of Formula 1 cars.
Next Race is this Sunday, June 4
We are racing again this Sunday June 4. We'll be running a full race program with three qualifiers, and mains.

Great Club Day!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for our club race yesterday. The weather was perfect again and we had a large turnout with almost 30 cars in Touring Stock alone! Big thanks to Doug and Doug for making the trip from Qualicum.
Excellent work to the entire club for an impressive track setup. It took only 20 minutes which afforded us lots of practice time. Teardown was super smooth as well.
One of the highlight runs had to be Doug B Jr and Kevin L during one of the round two qualifiers. These two ran within feet of each other the entire run, with several clean passes for the lead, all in front of a large crowd of spectators. That was really neat to see, and it was awesome that Kristine was there watching as well.
Sam L made his second IROCC start (first on asphalt) and did very well adapting to the different surface.
Another new racer, Alfie, made his first ever RC car race which was cool to see. Paul Y setup Alfie with his spare car, and with absolutely no experience, and no practice, Alfie was on the track. Fourteen year-olds catch on quick apparently, as Alfie did exceptionally well. Thank you Paul for making that happen!
Big thanks to Gord W for calling a lot of the races, even while running two cars. It is much appreciated. Racing karma paid him back as he ran some of his best TC laps of his career, qualifying into the B-Main field.
Big shoutout to Chris B for qualifying 2nd overall in USGT. Great work Chris!
Neil J and Phil C had good days, with Neil making it into the B-Main, and Phil finding his way into the A-Main with some clean running.
Finally, at the top of the sheets, the top three from indoor season seem to have carried over to the pavement, with Brian A, Craig R, and Nick F all vying for the TQs and Wins early in the summer season.
Next Race is this Sunday, June 11
We are racing again this Sunday June 11 and we'll be taking the following Sunday off for Father's Day (June 18).
