Nice... what are the rules?
Kind of a "run what you brung" thing?

Each class has basic motor restrictions. Retro classes use FK, Scorpion or JK hawks, Milleniums use the JK Millenium chassis with any mini motor using up to an American Hawk arm and 1969 or older body. GTP contenders must use c-can contender motors. FK12 Wingers use the FK12 motor. Great group of racers having ginormous fun!

For the middle of summer, I was real pleased with 12 racers showing up, including a real nice 11 entries in Millinieum.
In FK12, Michael was real solid.
Especially impressive was his 39 on Purple and 38 on Black.
Phil Kreuter had a trouble free run, to take a nice 2nd.

As mentioned, 11 racers battled it out in Millinieum.
A subpar first heat prevented Ricky from making a serious run at his total lap record.
Phil was real impressive in his Millinieum debut, edging out Chuck for 2nd, and cutting Ricky for fast time.

A loose braid, the first heat, on Purple, for Chuck, prevented a closer race between the evenly matched cars of his, and Ricky D.
Only .006 separated the two, for fast time.
Mark Mattei was a solid 3rd.

With Ricky being uncharacteristically on the slow side, Chuck cruised to an easy victory in GTP.
Jim Crider had a nice run with a 4002FK powered, car.
