Bob, yes we do get Saturday mail here. It arrives just before noontime and I'll be away today from around 11:00AM-7:00PM (family holiday gathering in Rhode Island). I'll check my mailbox when I get home. It will be close, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you..........!

Just found out that I'll be leaving on a business trip, out of the country, tomorrow night. The race is still on for tomorrow, but I probably won't have time to post the complete results; concourse, pics, videos, etc. before I leave; that will have to wait for Thursday, when I return. I'll try to get the podium finishers posted; even if I have to do it from the airport. Changes, changes................... :lol:

You made it, Chappy!

Somewhere over the Picton, Ontario, CA skies, the planets were aligned. When I got home this evening the silver #23 was parked in my mailbox.

No time for a quali run at this point, but you're in on the first Round of this Series! :handgestures-thumbup:

We have a full field - let the party begin! :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

It's First Round Race Results time.................!

First off, we had 3 drivers today; Matt (changing.gearz), Jeff (dge467) and Neil (beefywon). All did a great job with these car; which spanned quite a gamut, in terms of driving characteristics.

We started it off with a concourse competition; before everyone got their inaugural "dinsg" on the track. 4 of us were judges; the 3 drivers plus myself. We rated our top 10 cars; 10 points to the best car, then 9 for the second, eight for the third, etc. Each judge did his own scoring, then we pooled the results. When I tell you that the judges really got into judging the concourse, I'm not just kiddin'.........:



Here are your "Top Ten" results:

1. #11 - 30 points
2. # 44b - 25 points
3. #152 - 17 points
3. # 4 - 17 points
5. #10 - 14 points
6. #21b - 12 points
7. #45 - 11 points
8. #21a - 10 points
9. #77 - 9 points
10. #113 - 8 points
10. #157 - 8 points
10. #44a - 8 points
10. #12 - 8 points

And here's a pic of your top 3, er......make that 4..............!
