WTG Bernie!

[RomanK]

Way to go Bernie!!!

[Ronnie]

Thankyou Stuart for having the track in perfect condition, all 8 lanes were rubber ed in and ready to race, fastest track conditions ever!!!!

[GT1]

It was a great event! C12 was the largest class at 15 entries. Hmmmm.... Not bad for a so called dead class... LOL

[Big Mike1]

I just want to say thank you to Stuart for holding a amazing event on top of having the flu. You did a excellent job and I believe everyone had a good time looking forward to the next one.

[tommy_gunn]

653 in Hillbilly....Holy Smokes Thats the record....

[Big Mike1]

Good point Archie I didn’t even pay attention to that lap total.

[tommy_gunn]

12 Racers, two mains with 6 in each, so no record but still awesome

[Stuart Koford]

I think that would still be a record. Otherwise records could only be set if you had 8, 16, or 24 entries which wouldn't make sense. Was there a full track in the heat when the previous record was set?

[Jeff Bechtel]

Just an FYI in C-12's you show Les ahead of you and I with 553 laps and you and I had 644 and 641 laps.

[Stuart Koford]

I have moved Les to his correct position

[ET37]

In all main format, in my opinion, you only need to have more than 8 racers entered in order to set a 'world record'.

As Stuart says, 8,16,24 would be the only way to have 8 in every main - just not feasible.

Also, the 1.734 in 27L qualifying is a new US Record.

[Les]

Great run for Tony Andrews!! Former INT National Champion, had 1 wing car race
in the last 35 years, not 1 practice lap, picks up a controller and wins the box 12 race!
Way to go!!! A big thank you to ROB GARLAND for a GREAT CAR!

I think the case should be presented to the International Arbitration Court for Wing Car World Records.

I think it's in The Hague. Lol

Congrats to all.

Extra kudos to Bernie on his dominating I15 run.
