Buena Park Raceway was PACKED with every inch of pit spaced filled with racers from all over getting ready for the 3 day event on BPR's King and Flat tracks...........
The first race of the weekend was Anglewinder Coupes on the Flat track and early activity at the tech table brought all sorts of characters!
25 Coupe racers would begin the 2016 Checkpoint action!..........

An FYI - I watched off and on as Jim Lane built his first anglewinder, of his own design no less, on Thursday. On Friday he qualified for the C main. It took me 4 days at home to build mine from a Warmack kit. Some people just have "it" - amazing. I got to test all day Wed and a lot of Thursday. On top of that he was really quick. If he had had time for more testing I think his results would have been even better.

A "Special Thanks" to Dennis "Foamy" Hill for building a GREAT coupe car for this race!! I was able to TQ with it but Duran is just SO smooth--a little better racer luck and I could have had something for him!! Still, a very FUN race and congrats to Bryan Warmack for running a ballistic "inline" car in the race!!

Driver skill is a huge component of why I like the flat track. Pretty sure Duran could take my slow car and bump it up to the next main,and shave a tenth on lap time. Its a gift and I'm envious !!
