2003 USRA Div I Nats Results

[R. Herrera]

Is'nt it tradition and or customary for those of us that could not make the nats, to sit here and bitch about not getting results.

[Half Fast]

I am glad to be able to do my part in upholding tradition!! LOL I have a number of friends down there and I'd like to know how they are doing. But wait we must

[Zippity]

Guys,

I just got off the phone with Paul Meiers..........54 entries in Am Gp-12 / Boxstock..........he estimated the main could run past midnight eastern time. He was back at the motel and planned to return to the track for the main. No race results.

Amateur Group 12

53 entries!

Concours: Kevin Abe

TQ - Harry Sroka - 2.6621

Sorry for the late posting, but I was just able to get the results from today's racing so far. With 53 entries, it has been a loooooong day, plus your Old Weird reporter got to take a bit of time out to race wing cars in the Amateur Group 12 race as well.

Roman K has been running a marathon of race directing, and the race sheets were all still together until he had time to sort them out while setting up the Semi's.

I have all the final result sheets up until the Semi's now, and I'm done racing, so I will get everyone caught up to date ASAP.

Don't get your shorts all twisted up in a knot, guidos!

Here's the results of Amateur Group 12 so far....

Tony Hobart set me up with some very fast stuff and a great car, but I smoked a motor when a gear locked up.
I went fast and had fun, and at least didn't embarass myself by driving a decent race. Zach Holley also helped run my car to Tony and contributed his box full of balistic motors for me to race. Mike (Anonamous) Blevins glued me perfectly, knowing I'd be blipping like the "scale" racer that I am.

I was pleased to see 14 year old Tess Miller make the move-up. She's already a very good racer, not only driving fast but smart - and is very courtious in passing situations as well. Besides - it's a treat to see so many enthusiastic youngsters doing so well at the Nats.

"Mini Me" (John Davis Jr) drove a heckuva race and was heartbroken to barely miss a move-up. Lisa Bechtel finally cheered up the youngster when she pointed out that he had beaten his dad AND sister. :-)

[R. Herrera]

Thats a whole bunch of box racers, I was looking at the 2001 SCB nats (Port Jeff) and they had 38 entrys. The race that Brad Friesner won ....WOW thats great, I guess slotcar racing is not dieing

[Milton Gamble]

.........was the word Paul Meiers used. He was excited........" I got to the track yesterday and there only 2 names I recognized in the Spec 15 Main...........just Great". He was not even sure if they could get the Expert Boxstock Race in before tomorrow's Int 15 race was supposed to tech.

Les told me tuesday that the expected turnout would be the largest in recent years. A larger foreign contengency was expected. They felt they had a better chance since the race was on a "flat track".

Personally I think this website has served a valid purpose in creating interest and excitement.
