So far we have 2 FE's sugned up and 3 ICE's, I figured on 6, so just about about right, and I believe Mark Croslyn's son is going to show up in the AM.

Anyway, it's a start.

We did our timed qualifying today, it was my first session of the day, 2nd practice after lunch.

FE
1. Ken Anderson 9:41.593 (obviously not picking up his beacon) Pole
2. Mark Croslyn No time

ICE
1. Chuck Bunnel 1:49.311 Pole
2. Chris Reinhardt 1.52.546
3. Jim Brannon 2.00.331

Congratulations Ken and Chuck...

The pre-final is the first race after practice, I'll try and get that posted as soon as I can after the race.

Pre-Final results:

FE
1. Ken Andersson Best Lap No Time
2. Mark Croslyn II Best Lap 1:45.351
3. Mark Croslyn Best Lap 1.41.529

It was the day of mechanical failures for just about everybody. I think the 1st one out was Chuck Bunnel with a broken pipe mount, then Mark Croslyn with a broken master link on the PVP powered twin beast, then Mark Croslyn II with a broken shift rod, then myself with an engine related failure. Even Jim Brannon had to limp it home with a broken chain tensioner....

All in all, the mood was good, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, looking forward to tomorrow's races.

Final results:

FE
1. Mark Croslyn II Best Lap 1:44.549
2. Mark Croslyn Best Lap 1:43.335
Ken Andersson DNS


ICE
1. Chuck Bunnel Best Lap 1:45.030
2. Jim Brannon Best Lap No time
Chris Reinhardt DNS

It was a pretty good race with Mark Croslyn setting the pace and Mark II in tow, Jim Brannon was out front but Chuck Bunnel, came around him shortly after. Mark I pulled out a sizable lead nearly till the end of the race till he didn't come around, post race comments were that the motor was mis-firing and in an effort to try and figure out what was going on, he missed the corner!!! Jim Brannon also dropped out, leaving Chuck and Mark II to finish the race.

Ken Andersson had a mishap in the pits, keeping him from racing in Sundays race, Chris Reinhardt had terminal engine issues that ended his race on Saturday and could not be repaired in time for Sundays race.

So the overall finishes for the weekend is as follows:

FE
1. Mark Croslyn II Anderson, Honda RS250
2. Mark Croslyn PVP, PVP 252
3. Ken Andersson Zip, Rotax 256

ICE
1. Chuck Bunnel PVP, Honda CR250
2. Jim Brannon PVP, Honda CR250
3. Chris Reinhardt Cobalt, Honda CRF450

I'd like to thank the WKA for letting us put on this event, and all the people who make this happen at the track and in the office, without them it wouldn't have come together, and a special thanks to the Dart Kart Club people, that were a pleasure to work with!!!

I'm looking forward to our next event the WKA Road Race National June 7th-9th at Mid Ohio hosted by DKC.
