Eight slot-heads showed up to race Early Modified and Super Stock at STR on 12/11/23. Track conditions were good and racing was close.
- In Early Modified, it was Bob, Rich and Joe for first through third respectively.
- In Super Stock it was Joe, Rich and Bob for first through third respectively.
The race for podium spots was between Bob, Rich, Joe and Ron and the finishing order was tight. Bob won the race posting a lap count of 85.5 with Rich second (84.7 laps), Joe third (84.5) and Ron fourth (83.4 laps). Looking at the fast lap times, it appears that Bob left something on the table. His fast lap time was nearly .2 seconds/lap faster than the second place finisher. On another note, Rich noticed deterioration in performance over the last few races. Perhaps it is time for a new motor.
Super Stock results were quite close as well with Joe, Rich, Bob, Ron and Mark battling it out for podium spots. This time Joe came out on top finishing with 86.5 laps. Rich was second only three sections behind. Bob was third, only four sections behind Rich and Ron was fourth only three sections behind Bob.
In my opinion, lap counts were down a bit due to a crash filled first heat.
