Eurosport races have gone to the multiple Main Event format, with drivers seeded into the mains by qualifying, and overall laps determining the final results.

The B Main had some attrition, beginning with your Old Weird reporter running last year's Nats car, without a rebuild. The magnet came loose, and I ran it until the motor somked. Oh well, I had fun.

The A Main was definately faster, as expected, with a real battle right down to the wire for the top 3 spots. Paul Gawronski clung to the lead for much of the race, but with Greg Gilbert hot on his heels within a lap most of the race, and Herman coming back from a slow start to pull within striking distance.

By heat 7 it looked like any one of them had a shot at it, with Paul going to Black lane, but he held on to his lead in black, and with Greg finishing in black and Paul in yellow, Paul pulled ahead in heat 8.

Herman put on a hard charge, but had troubles in heat 8, coming within just a lap of Greg for the final podium spot.

An exciting 1/32 Eurosport race!
