Subject: Red Line Raceway Results 4-9-11

It was a good night for racing last Friday night. The weather was mild and the track was hooking. We had 6 Teams in attendance for our second race of the season including a new member and an old member from a couple of years ago. I know of 6 cars that were broke or not capable of going down the track for one reason or another. Two Racers were out of town and couldn't make it. Here are the results....

Q1

Mat Thomas 4.727 152.18
Laramie Reid 4.760 149.75 (New Member, welcome to OTS!)
Tommy Keeter 4.781 150.85 (Tommy was driving the Wild Turkey)
Kent Birkes 5.479 91.09
David Baldwin 6.313 76.58
Dewayne Pebworth 8.356 57.69 (Welcome back Dewayne!)

Q2

Baldwin 4.700 144.18
Thomas 4.727 152.18
Reid 4.751 150.96
Birkes 4.759 149.35
Keeter 4.781 150.85
Pebworth 4.894 148.32

David had minor mechanical issues in the 1st round but came right back and ran the index earning himself the Top Qualifier position.

R1 Eliminations

RT ET MPH
Thomas .073 4.754 146.29
Keeter .052 4.830 150.91

It was really good to see Tommy back in the car after sitting out OTS last year. Mat did his traditional 400' burn out and then put it in the beams first. Tommy left first, but Mat caught him for the win.

Birkes .045 4.757 142.09
Reid -.386 4.744 146.96

Kent was first in but unfortunately Laramie left before the tree activated giving Kent the win. There's no doubt the Reid camp has brought a serious contender with their beautiful Pontiac GXP! Watch out for this car in the future...

Baldwin .124 4.804 138.89
Pebworth -.382 4.869 147.54

Dewayne gave it a good shot thinking he needed to get the hit on David. Unfortunately he left early giving David the win and the bye in the Semis.

R2 Eliminations

Baldwin .036 6.22 75.23

Looks like David was saving it for the Finals.

Thomas .011 4.748 148.37
Birkes .015 4.766 150.50

Both cars left virtually side by side, but it was Mat taking the stripe for the win in a great race.

Final Round Eliminations

Baldwin .060 4.726 138.16
Thomas .041 4.763 151.52

Mat left first but by mid track David had caught him and took the win! Congratulations on a good race David! And Congrats to Mat, Stan and their Team on a great Runner Up effort.

I want to thank all the Teams that showed up for making my job an easy one come race night. I don't always have the right answers, but somehow it seems to work itself out.

Special thanks to Red Line Raceway for giving us a terrific track to race on. Kelly Duncan and his Crew did a great job with prepping the track and helping us run the race.

Congratulations to our Sponsorship prize Winners... David Baldwin won $100 from Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners of Texas for his #1 Qualifying effort, and $100 each from ACE Racing Transmissions and Nitrous Outlet for Winning the race. Kent Birkes won $100 from Ferry's Aluminum Cylinder head and Block Repair for running closest to the Index without a foul in the 1st round of Eliminations.

Thanks also goes out to our Series Sponsors... Brink Racecraft, RPM Performance Racing Electronics, Neal Chance Racing Converters and D&L Performance.

See ya'll at the next one!

[> [> Dear Mr. Complainer (aka "Crybaby"). You should be able to tell that Gilbert is trying to make things interesting with his commentary on the race. The results are accurate. The tracks and fans read this page. No one is perfect and doing the results takes a lot of time. You really need a life dude, get over yourself! -- Don't be jealous just because you can't have this, 11:27:36 04/13/11 Wed [1]

[> Dang only six cars ! New rules must have run to many people off. -- How do you run a consulation race with only six cars?, 09:33:23 04/14/11 Thu [1]

[> [> The rules really haven't changed significantly. The jackpot races were being held last year too. If you were to look around, you might find some factors for this turnout. Let me help you a bit: 1 NASCAR weekend, 2 race was at Redline (where we were all burned two years ago on a rainout), 3 Promod races the night before, and 4 a big money race with similar cars to ours in Houston. -- Had a great time., 14:35:21 04/14/11 Thu [1]
