Carrera Scramble 2019 - Round 1 - Penguin Point

It was a rainy Thursday night in Hillsboro when a dedicated group of racers arrived at Penguin Point to get the 2019 Carrera Scramble proxy series off the ground.
All cars successfully completed nine minutes of intense racing action with no casualties. If there was one lesson it was that soft competition braid is not a good match for a track with recessed braid. The softer they get, the less contact is made.
In a stunner, first place overall for the night was claimed by a Class A car. The flashy orange car of CJ74 proved to be the best of the field with a total of 68.2 laps. Smooth and confident, it ruled the night.


In the B Class where the modified cars run supreme Lance claimed a narrow victory over Aloha by a mere 6/10 of a lap.
As tight as the Pen is, this was a clear victory for smooth and consistent. There are other tracks that may be more advantageous to the pure speed of the Class B cars but for tonight, on this track, the A Class cars proved to be the ticket with four of the top six cars overall.

A big thanks to Jeff, Stan, Mitch, Amy and Victoria for helping with all the race chores.
