After we all left for the night, we came back Sunday with one last class to run, the NSR IROC race we set up for Phoenix Speedway! With a total of 19 racers, we gave everyone a bit of time to practice with this brand new class/race before we began. After we ran the two heats, John Fitzgerald took the win with 281 laps completed! Second place went to Nate Brannen with 277 laps completed, and Third place went to Tony Powell finishing with 272 laps completed! We are happy with the feedback that everyone gave us about this class.
Everyone very much enjoyed running this class. We had all sorts of people join us for this race, from first-time racers, to racers that have never raced on a wood track, to our regular wood track racers. We feel like this would be a perfect introductory class to anyone wanting to see what slot car racing is all about! We will definitely be running this again in the future!
Thank you to everyone who came out to race with us this weekend, and a very special thank you to Oliver Smith and Professor Motor! This is one of our favorite events of the year, and we can't wait to do it again next year(or possibly sooner)! Thank you for all of the podium prizes, raffles door prizes, and the company! Also, thank you to NSR for making the best 1/32 slot cars on the planet!
Race on!
