Greg,

Are they broadcasting it?

[Cheater]

Steve,

Yes. Here's the link:

R4 live webcast

Note that due to a terrible internet connection, Mike has had to kill the audio portion of the feed.

Here is the GTC field, set up for concours judging.

The lap counter feed works fine and makes it easy to follow the races... Greg, what is the format for GTC? Highest totals win?

[Neuspeed]

good job to Gary, he lead the entire race, had trouble in the white lane, but open the lead back up to 8laps in the red lane. Gary won with 250 laps, and lap avg of 31.25 it was a real close race till the end.

[Cheater]

Tony, I think that is correct.

There will be six heat races, eight in the slowest heat and nine in each of the five faster heats.

First race results:

1) Gary Echelbarger
2) Jersey John Molnar
3) Larry Mattingly

Second heat race is starting...

John Streisguth
Bill McPherson
Ray Price
Bill Fulmer
Earl Graybill
Vince Del Viscio
Bob Appelle
Jerry "Boogieman" Wyant
Steve "Scuz" Radcliffe

[Neuspeed]

If John Streisguth continue to turn 33s he will take the over all lap lead.

So in those five fastest heats, they will have a sit-out?

[Neuspeed]

I think that a lap average of 35 will win it all.

[spudboy]

It is really wonderful to see such a large field. Have fun everyone!

[Neuspeed]

Guys, the internet connection here at Tom Thumb is so bad that Mike has asked me not to log into his wireless network to maximize the webcast, so I won't be able to do much posting over the next couple of days.

By the next R4, Mike will have a MUCH faster connection so hopefully I can do more during the next race.

Congrats Tom Lauterbach of Penn-Ohio fame.

Watch some of the racing... GOOD STUFF!

Adios, Amigos.

[TSR]

Congratulations to Tom and Jeff! I guess those parking-lot motors really worked out!

Please send the usual amount in my Swiss bank account...

Ya did good James...!!

[Rick]

Huge shout out to James for winning stock car and his close second place finish using his R-Geo Warrior and Samurai chassis kits!! James you DA MAN! Also his making the semis. This was a field of the best of the best. Once again only 9 laps front to back in an R4 Main Event! I also want to thank Team Racer Chris Radisich on his great performance this year again.

Dont let Jess fool you. She is just as much one of the guys as anyone. She will dish it out as much as she will take it. Practicing with Team Goober and Crutchfield, makes for a fun day. Josh can build some awesome cars as well. It was interesting to see all the different designs of chassis' along with the widespread use of the tripod as well.

Jac, you were flying bro. It's a shame about the gear. You were running lap times as fast as anyone in any heat set. Keep up the good work kid, you are there.

[Jacob Shiplet]

Thanks Rick, at least we had a Goober in the semi's. I do have to mention one name though from this weekend that hasnt been said enough. Eric Balicki was a HUGE help this weekend whether it was setting cars for qual or race director or whatever it was. He did a great job this weekend both racing and helping out.
