Although the weather was cold the racing was hot and fast, as 26 racers braved the Northeast Ohio weather. However a few of the usual suspects where hit by the flu bug and were unable to attend. But, even with all that we managed 82 entries through the 4 classes(14 Stock Cars, 25 Can Am's, 23 Formula One's, and 20 Flexi GT's).

We started with Stock Car and here was how it shook out.

After Stock Cars, we rolled into 3 heats of Can-Am, and this was how it all shook out.

Then the Formula One's took to the high banks,

And last but not least to close out a great day of fun was Flexi GT,

A big thank you to Ray and Brian for the wonderful job they always do, also to Parma for the door prizes that they sent, and of course the racers for braving the weather. See everyone in February at Rt 93.

Some day this will be fun again. Right???

Yes, great time had by all. Best run races anywhere. Thanks to Ray, Brian, Steve P ,and Dan Myers. Dan does a great job of teching all the cars. No one ever thanks him for that job and good race report also. Ray the owner even cleared off all the snow on our cars before we left. Now that is class. Food was good. Only complaint I heard was Bud is way to fast. LOL

Amigo Parma Steve,

 

Yes that how we run every Sunday at REM Raceway that is how we get 4 to 5 classes in one day!

No farting around! Thanks to Brian McP., Ray and the Penn Ohio Brass in running a tight ship! Everyone was on the road this past Saturday by 6:30 to brave the weather. FUN  was the factor Saturday. Plenty of food and FAST action was there at REM Raceway.

Potent group of racers for weekend jammed with racing.  Congrats to Buddy Bartos. Some kind of racing.  He must have had some input from "Mr. Mystery Racer".

 

Hope to see a lot of these racers at the next ORS at Tom Thumb in February.  Good warmup for the R4.

Not that I have too justify the delay but I will.    

 

I'm sorry that the fact that I had interviews this week to move forward with my career, inconvenienced your dying needs to know where you stand.    

 

But guess what .  Doing the points for the series doesn't pay the bills.  So my priorities were elsewhere.    They are up now so enjoy.
