Formula 1 on the King – 9/1/26
The MVH Tuesday Night Retro series headed to the Gerding King to run F-1 this past week. Eight drivers passed tech with racing in the 4-on/4-off format, running the outside four lanes and then moving to the inside four, all over 16 heats.
Eight F-1 Cars in Tech:
In the early running, Cody Pare’ took the lead over Ray Lee and Woody Hazelwood. By the move to the inside lanes, Cody’s 171 laps gave him a four-lap lead on Ray who was another three laps up on Woody. Nine laps back with 155 on the counter, John Mills was two up on Rick Pare’, with Richard Payne and Rolly Lapierre Jr. in hot pursuit. Steven Sacchetti closed out the field.
The inside lanes saw Cody extend his margin over Ray while Woody closed the gap but was unable to catch up, leaving the running order unchanged at the checkered flag. In fact, the running order didn’t change throughout the field after the move to the inside.
Cody posted the fastest lap of the night with a 3.988 on orange with no one else within a tenth. Ray, Woody and John were all solidly in the 4.1s.
