HMS / PBIR / HMS Race Reports


#1

So I’ve been a bit lax about putting up race reports this year :unsure: so I’ll fix that by posting up a few photos and links to race video and some super duper condensed versions:

Jan HMS
It was really, really, really cold for Florida. And it rained a lot on Saturday. Michael and I froze our butts off and raced in the rain on the road course.
Sunday was dry and really, really cold again. Michael and I froze our butts off racing on the Roval using NASCAR 3 AND 4 (shake and bake!!!).

April PBIR
It was warm and sunny =) Scott McKay joined the field. We were all racing at the PBIR for the first time. Scott zip tied his throttle cable together to make the race, then spent the weekend chasing fuel pick up problems. Michael didn’t return on Sunday when he realized that only two of the four diff bolts were still in his car.

May HMS
Hot and sunny - Florida at its finest. B) Natalie, Scott and Michael were back at it on the road course for both days. Just for fun, Scott bolted up Natalie’s spare set of R888s so that all three cars would be running on the same rubber. A fun race with everyone having the lead at some point. Then Michael’s fire bottle got loose and started banging around in the passenger compartment. On Sunday Scott & Natalie blessedly went back to the RA1s, but Michael didn’t start after his car starting spewing copious amounts of oil after qualifying. Scott got his first SpecE30 win in his own ride.

Saturday Race
Class SpecE30
1 Natalie Black 1:51.786
2 Scott McKay 1:53.814
