Thanks NCK! Another excellent day of racing at a very fine facility! The Stock Honda class was very well represented; and very competitive.

Medium. Fast lap of the day was 01:59.504 by Jonathan Shaw. I'm pretty sure that Sonny has a 1:58 at Thunderhill.

Mike made a very good showing. Looked like lots of fun out there. He had to start 20th in the 2nd heat and made it to the front quickly. Times were on par with the fastest laps of the last 5 races there. Good times, Hegars would of had fun for sure. It was our first stock moto win, so what if it was only .029 at the line. I'm a happy Dad.

I was only asking cuz the video looked like cool or at least overcast weather and it's been ages since we ran at that one. Didn't know if the track was as nice as it had been or if it was getting tore up. Looks pretty good really.

We would of loved to go but with the 4 stroke sprint grands up here and the rr nationals were booked and saving for all that stuff as well as the local races. If any of you guys are going to come to ORP please let us know so were sure to attend. It'll be a low effort used tire race for us but we gotta keep those 125 numbers up out west.

That track actually seems to be pretty stable. As far as I can tell, it has not changed since I started racing with NCK. Not torn up, no new bumps.

A Photo from Race #4 Stock Moto Class, shows kart coming down after going airborne after impact at about 80 mph, when a driver changes his line into kart #67 the path of the oncoming pack of Racers with no where to go. See picture at link below.

Don, if you have a specific complaint you should contact NCK. If you don't know how to do that, I'd be happy to help.

It was Turn 6

The track was just as we left it the last time we were here and the weather was perfect all day. Cool

The superkarts in addition to having a decent showing had some good competition amongst the leaders: Eric Johnson, John Stafford, Anthony Williams, and Dean Martin, who were all within a second or two of each other on lap times. There are several regular drivers that didn't make it on Sunday that I believe will be challenging for the lead as well: Ryen M., Tim M., Dave F., John B., Mark J. We have to convince Herach H., and Luis G., to race in the ICE class and get Kyle R., and Paul B. to show up so we can give the Stock Moto class a challenge for highest entries per class. Shocked

Now we are talking!! Very Happy
