 Opening night for the RMLRA at Colorado National Speedway last night, and twenty six Legends were on hand. You could not have asked for a better day of weather as this warm sunny day in April provided plenty of good racing for the Legends. A short meeting for RMLRA drivers with an CNS official to explain the new procedure of qualifying for races took place after a practice session on the track. It looks like it was what many drivers wanted. #66 Kyle Clegg had the top qualifying speed with a time of 19.009. In the feature race seven drivers would get under Kyleʼs time. In the feature race Kyle Clegg (2011 CNS champion) jumped off to a lead and held it for many laps. Mike Gallegos a veteran Legend driver moved up close and became a contender for several laps finally passing him and weaving through heavy traffic, to become the first RMLRA winner of the season by 1.523 seconds better than Clegg. The 2011, RMLRA champion Kyle Ray finished third, with Chris Eggleston and Jace Hansen the top five finishers. We did have a red flag on the second lap of the race when #44 Kevin Kurtz and #21 Ryan Jones made contact on the back straight away with Kurtz suffering major damage. It looked like he got on top of the car of Jones and eventually rolled on his top. Both drivers were attended to by the medical staff. I talked with Ray Jones this afternoon and he passed along to me that Ryan was OK and at the time, they had the car in shop under repair. In talking with Kevin Sunday afternoon, he was stiff and sore in spots. His race car is badly damaged but said that he will try to be back in about a month.
When the track went back to green flag racing the race went green the rest of the race. Our next race is scheduled for May 5, 2012 at Colorado National Speedway. Races will start one hour later starting in May. Making their first start in a Legend car Saturday, #14 Jereme Wall #33 Ryan Gaylord #36 Garrett Richard #37 Josh Richard #19 Larry Pachello #21 Ryan Jones #11 Jessica Savage Remember that Sportsmanship is a necessity in our division. We are all in it for the fun.
