2020 Shootout in the Books!
Just wanted to thank all the racers and both RJ's Raceway and Hobbies and Southern Colorado Slot Cars for such a great season. Sure hope we do it again next year!
The points came down to the last race - and didn't disappoint. The Championship was decided by just 3 laps!!!!
Eric Cimino was trailing Anthony Ficco by 6 laps going into the last heat and HAD to finish in front of Anthony in order to win the championship because Anthony had the tie breaker. Luckily for Eric - Anthony was in the red lane and Eric was able to gain 9 laps (white lane) in the final heat to with the Championship by 3.
Tom Hanes was steady Freddy all day long and was just waiting to pounce if the top 2 to slipped up. He finished the race and series in 3rd place. (Mr. I only go straight....liar!) 😀
Doug Cimino had hopes of jumping up and sneaking into the 3rd spot in points......but struggled with his car all day. 'Flipper the car' kept slowing him down but he has promised to return next year with new equipment and said "WATCHOUT BOYS - I'M GONNA DROP THE HAMMER NEXT YEAR!"
Rydier Jarman (Lance Jarman) and Ronald White both had pretty good days and show that we're all pretty lucky that they didn't make it to all of the shootout races, because the points race more than likely would have had different results! Point to ponder - Rydier won his first heat - that he EVER raced on the track. YIKES - watchout boys...…..their may be a new Sherriff in town next year!!!!
And with no surprise the Justin show (Justin Kill and Justin Mulder) dominated the day taking the 1st and 2nd spots. These guys definitely know their way around a slot track. Kill won the race in a borrowed car and Mulder followed him with a car that @ one point in the race...…..the rear tires wouldn't even move. With a quick pretzel bend of the chassis by race Director Lance Jarman - off Mulder went!
AWESOME DAY and SERIES! Thank you all!
