Leg #3 @ AQMA - Results

Great weather and great racing! Points are posted. Enjoy the exciting Jr Honda A Main...




Leg #2 Results

Another great car count, expecially for the Jr Honda class!  19 Jrs were split into 3 heat groups with Richie Fenton, Blake Bower, and Joey Frakes each taking both their heats.  This set up a super competitive main where no one ever got close to being lapped.  Fenton took the win with Frakes, Jared Cronk, and Donovan O'Connell in hot pursuit.

In Sr Honda, Kyle Loveless and Carlos Ramirez checked out early, but Devin Moore and Nathan Banaag made up ground when Ramirez and Loveless battled for the lead.  Ramirez inched up, passed, and put a huge park job on Loveless to take the lead with about 15 to go.  Loveless, however, chased him back down and motored on to the win leaving Ramirez and Banaag to battle for second.  Hunter Franklin hung tough for fourth in one of his first races in Sr after moving up.

Jr Stock had 7 stout performers this week.  Jake Andreotti flat out dominated, taking both heats in impressive fashion.  In the main, he had to work his way to the front twice, but once he got there the second time, it was "Hasta La Vista, Baby."  Bower, Kislingbury, and Ezell rounded out the top four.

In Sr Stock, McCarthy bested the others in both heats, lapping the field in second heat.  That must have lit a fire under Kyle Loveless, because after battling back and forth for 3rd early, Loveless motored on to win the main with McCarthy and Halm waiting to pounce if he bobbled.

In Lt Mod, Flavetta took the win.  Sponsler took a strong second despite a weight disadvantage, and McCarthy finished 3rd.

In Lt160, McCarthy took the spot on the podium to which he is most accustomed these days, the top one!  Flavetta, Martyn, Sponsler, and Conwright rounded out the field.

Thanks to the TriValley club for hosting a great race.  Next stop, the high banks of AQMA...  Come race the club races this weekend to get prepared for the regional!  NOTE: We are starting AQMA club races at 8AM for the rest of the season to beat the heat!

R10 Revives the CA500 Series Format

Back by popular demand! In 2009 R10 will adopt the the old CA500 format of two 30 lap heats and a 40 lap main for all competitive classes. With one stop at each of Region 10's four tracks, the series will be dubbed the "California 400 presented by Region 10" or "The CA400." The opening leg will be held at Baylands on May 23rd & 24th, so mark your calendars!  Check out the series flyer & series rules!

In addition to race day awards, we will again have a year end banquet to recognize all the kids who participate in at least 3 of the 4 legs. Everyone had a great time at RPM last year, so a similar venue may be chosen for 2009. Embroidered jackets will be awarded to all series champions as well as the Jr & Sr Rookies. 

Additionally, Loveless Motorsports & Entrust IT Solutions are combining to provide custom 30x20" Photoshopped posters for the champions and 8x10" photos for all series participants! Additional sponsors are being sought to provide prizes for race day raffles and the silent auction at the banquet.

Samples of priceless keepsakes to be provided by Loveless Motorsports & Entrust IT Solutions
