First Carpet Club Race, Saturday October 4th

Saturday October 4th evening is our first carpet club race.  Doors open at 4:00pm and track setup starts at 4:10pm.  All local racers are expected to help with track setup (reasonable exceptions are fine).  Some notes:

• Extended Practice: We'll be running an extended practice session on the first night, followed by an important drivers meeting, and then two qualifiers and one main.  Future race nights will run three qualifiers and one main.
• Tables/Chairs: Bring your own folding table/chair.  Eagle Ridge has a very small number of tables and they will be prioritized for the club timing table etc.
• Payment: Cash and E-Transfers are accepted.
• Traction Compound: SXT is the only permitted traction compound.

Fun First Club Race!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday.  We had a small turnout but still lots of good racing.  We scheduled extra practice to allow everyone to adjust back to carpet racing, and then we ran two qualifiers and mains.

Big thanks to Matt Y for joining us!  He ran his first RC laps in a long time and he also was part of Paul Y's pit crew.  It's always great to see Matt.

Big shoutout to Paul for a career performance!  He ran his dad's car and made it look very good, eventually bumping up into the 12th Scale A-Main.  Awesome work Paul!

Ryan P made his first 12th Scale A-Main as well which was another impressive milestone.  Keep it up guys!

Nice work to Phil C for qualifying 4th overall in TC.  Great run there!

It was nice to see Sue L running on the carpet track for the first time.  She did super well given how different it is compared to pavement racing.

Next Race is Saturday Oct 18
The next race is Saturday Oct 18.  Doors open at 4:00PM.  We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.

Fun Race Night!
Thanks to everyone who made it out for racing on Saturday.  We had a good turnout and lots of good racing.  After running a little late, teardown was definitely some sort of record with absolutely everyone pitching in.  Let's keep that going.

Mark L earned the consistency award with some really clean driving in his qualifiers and his main.  He won the TC D-Main and made his way into the C-Main which was awesome to see.  Cameron also put in a good main and took the second bump spot.

Tim B threw caution to the wind with his TC motor and ended up winning the B-Main with a solid effort.  Nice work Tim!

Dan L has been the one to beat early this season in TC, and he put in another good effort on Saturday for a win.

On the 12th Scale side, Dalyn S has been largely dominant with great driving and a killer car setup.  Craig R and Jarrod H can get similar lap times but haven't matched Dalyn's consistency yet.

Daryl J was back on track after several months and ran really strong, and Paul Y backed up his previous race performance with another 12th Scale A-Main showing.  Awesome work!

Next Race is Saturday Nov 1
The next race is in two weeks on Saturday Nov 1.  Doors open at 4:00PM.  We will run a full race program with three qualifiers followed by the mains.
