Tuesday's Retroflex race provided a bit of normalcy in these crazy times we are all experiencing. We were all thankful for the distraction.
The group of eight was split in half via the 30 second qualifier.
Starting the night off in the B Main were Bill Wojtyla, "New Guy" Rich Joslin, Jeff Eve and Rich Buchholz. Though Rich Buchholz stayed close for a couple of heats it was clear early on that the first place position on the podium would be occupied by Jeff Eve. All the wishing in the world wasn't going to make Jeff''s car crash often enough to give anyone else in the B group a shot. A 4.862 fast lap on green certainly helped Jeff's cause. Late in the race NG Rich managed to get a slight edge on Rich Buchholz and he held on to that edge to grab a second place finish by just under a couple of laps.
Rich Joslin 2nd - Jeff Eve 1st - Rich Buchholz 3rd
A Main participants this week were Dave Buchholz, Ray Coakley, Matt "Bones" Lees and Darryl "Mr. X" Voleshen. Jeff Eve earned a shot at the fast guys by virtue of his B Main victory. The first half of this race was close with only a couple of laps separating the top four drivers. Over the final few heats though some separation began to occur. Ray Coakley kept his car glued to the track and claimed a two lap victory over Darryl Voleshen. Matt Lees held off Jeff Eve by a similar two lap margin to capture the third spot on the podium this week. In addition to his win Ray posted the fastest lap of the night, a 4.806 on purple.
