Round #7 of 2017 - Raceway.Biz - Melbourne, FL

 

Summer Combo with FSCS #2

 

http://slotblog.net/...ybiz-melbourne/

 

Can-Am 

 

We had thirteen entries in Can-Am

 

Rollin Isbell was the concours winner. Paint by Pickett.

 

In qualifying we saw Tony P set fast lap time of 4.312 seconds.  Dennis had trouble with a broken lead wire and was unable to set a time. The field was split into two mains.

 

 

The B main was a fairly spread out race with Rollin, Nathan, and Grant falling out with technical issues by the halfway point. Dennis Demole made up for his qualifying woes and led for a majority of the race. Roger Whobrey had a nice drive to second place and took the last move up spot. Ken Green gets long distance travel award for the event and had a fine run ending third place.  

 

I failed to get a podium pic. Sorry guys.

 

Can-Am B Main

1) Dennis Demole 307 Laps

2) Roger Whobrey 293

3) Ken Green 283

4) Donny Caron 268

5) Grant Goerner 194 DNF

6) Nathan Pickett 151 DNF

7) Rollin Isbell 129 DNF

 

 

Up next in the A main we saw Dennis Demole charge hard and was leading the race at the halfway point. Brian Ambrose was right there with him and locals Doc Dougherty and Terry Tawney were battling for the third spot. Jay ran into some trouble that set him back a few laps, otherwise he would have been right there with them. As the race neared completion Brian set fast lap time of the race and most laps in a heat with 41 giving him the top spot. Second went to Dennis and Terry. Congrats all.

 

Can-Am A Main

1) Brian Ambrose 317 Laps

2) Dennis Demole 315

3) Terry Tawney 311

4) Doc Dougherty 307

5) Tony P 303

6) Roger Whobrey 302

7) Jay Guard 300

8) Ed Hoffman 278 DNF

Up next Gt Coupe...

[Grant G.]

Up next was the combined classes of Gt Coupe and Can-Am Plus.
 

Tony P won concours. Paint by Evil Bucks. 
 

We had ten entries. Nine were Gts and one sole Can-Am plus runner.I forgot to stage Jay's car and my car for the photo. 
 
Lane choice was selected on finishing position in Can-Am. Being that round robin format was used we saw quite a few different leaders throughout the race. Roger, Tony, Doc, and Terry led the lap averages in the beginning. As the heats wore on Dennis, Brian, and Jay were working toward the inside lanes negotiating traffic cleanly. In the end we would see a near repeat of Can-Am with Brian setting fast lap and winning the race. Dennis finished second and this time we saw Jay back up on the podium with third place. Congrats guys!
