[Ohio Retro Series]

ORS Summer Series Race # 2 was held July 28, 2012 at Tom Thumb Hobbies. A total of 43 entries were on hand for some good times, lots of fun, laughs and great racing.

First up was F1 qualifying..... Ron Hershman was on the pole with a 4.805 run and Jeff Lauterbach right on his heels with a 4.818 lap.




The first race was the Retro Anglewinder class. This was the "last race" for X-12 arms in the class and Ron Hershman was the only one to run a Big Dog arm against the other four racers who ran their X-12 arms.

Ron Hershman and Tom Lauterbach were tied after the first heat and Ron took the lead in the second heat while Tom has some "issues" on purple lane. Ron and his Big Dog held off the X-12 arms to win with 195 laps followed by Tom Lauterbach's 189. In third was Gary Echelbarger 168, Eric Balicki 162 and Steve Deiters 124. Tom ran fast lap of the race with a 4.435 on the blue lane.
