The results from Canfield Green have been posted and the Can Am Proxy is in the books.
First, thanks to Chappy and crew for running the last event at his long, beautiful track. Chappy’s Alfa finished a fine 4th on its home track, an excellent result especially considering that it ran on urethane tires. That fine result lifted the Alfa to an overall 11th place, one point from a top 10 overall position.
The podium at Canfield:
1. Smokeio’s Shadow DN4 qualified 3rd, ran the 2nd fastest lap, and won the race by 0.4 lap over Stewart’s Lola.
2. Stewart’s Lola qualified an unusual 28th but ran the fastest lap during the race and finished a close second to Mike’s DN4.
3. Marka’s Lola continued its remarkable results with a strong 3rd place finish. This showing enabled the car to finish 5th overall, despite only racing 7 of the 8 rounds.
The overall Can Am Proxy Podium
1. Old23, Thunderslot Lola
2. Smokeio, CG Slot Cars Shadow DN4
3. JScotI11, NSR Porsche 917 K
Thanks to all hosts and associated crews who ran the 8 races, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to Allan (Audi1), who spearheaded this proxy and fielded one of the quickest cars. Oddly, his car performed poorly in two rounds and the devastating result at Canfield (35th) dropped his podium capable car to 10th overall.
Thank you, Allan. I’m already looking forward to next year’s Can Am.
