After three grueling hours battling it out on track we finally have our race results!
As is usually the case, the race results differ somewhat from the qualifying results.
There was no doubt amongst us SCANCs that the cars that qualified 1st and 2nd would finish the race in the top two positions. These two cars were quicker by a good margin in qualifying and both were very easy to drive. Several of us thought the #35 car might edge out the win as we all agreed that it was just a little bit easier to drive than the #33 car. But as it turned out Brumos #33 Silver Bullet took the checkers, ahead of DRW21's #35 McLaren by just 1/2 of a lap. A very close race for the win indeed!
The battle for 3rd was even fiercer. But this battle was not between the cars that qualified 3rd and 4th. Instead, it was the cars that qualified 6th and 7th that were vying for that place on the podium. I'm referring to CGYRacer's #10 McLaren and Audi1's #52 Lola T70 Spyder, with the #10 car beating out the #52 car by less than 1/10th of a lap!
A hearty congratulations to all of the podium finishers and to Audi1 for his near-podium finish.
There are some general comments I would like to make...
1) Several cars had guides that were very tight, possibly causing some drag in the tighter corners and definitely slowing down the marshals who had to right the guide before re-slotting the cars.
2) Of the seven cars that finished near the bottom, five cars had tires that were not glued to the rims and two had tires that were glued insufficiently. A few of these cars were smooth and quick down the straights but suffered in the corners.
I have a few hours worth of footage to peruse and edit over the next couple of days. I hope to have a short video of your cars on track posted by midnight Friday.
Thanks to everyone for participating in this proxy. It was an honor to drive your cars!
