A very good field of Legend cars on hand last
night at I-25 Speedway in Pueblo. Twenty two cars helped put on a great feature
with good driving and sportsmanship shown. I really could not keep up with all
the action but it looked like a clean race and other than a few spin outs and
Scotty Scott’s number six making contact in turn four which I did not see it.
He was the only car removed from the track.
Danny Medina continued his
dominance at I-25 Speedway winning the thirty lap feature. While he took the
checkered flag he had to work to get around several cars to get his car into
first place.
Making the trip to join
the local cars was Justin Irwin # 12, Jason Irwin # 9I, Trisha Tilbury and
Dustin Tilbury from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Justin Irwin. A very good young
driver raced with us last season at CNS and I-25 a couple of times during the
2009 season. His thirteen year old brother Jason knows how to drive a race car
to as he finished seventh in the feature. They plan to race at Vegas next
weekend and one of them was quoted as saying that they had raced about twenty
races so far this season.
Last night was our first
night at I-25 with the transponders. I thought that we had some problems with
the track flagman giving a lap to go before green and they worked that out. On
the restarts in the feature, cars I thought that were a lap down should have
been placed among the leaders for restarts were placed in the back. The
procedure told to me was to allow lapped cars to stay in position on the track
until the last ten laps and then they would be placed at the back. Give them
some time and it will all be worked out hopefully. I assure you that the track
makes all the calls on incidents that happen on the track and sometimes they
miss on the calls. The Legends Raceceiver official makes no calls during the
races.
Next weekend we will be
back at I-25 Speedway. I know of several cars that will not be on hand because
of other commitments. If you could not race last night try to make the trip.
Thanks to all of you who made the trip to I-25 last night and raced. You are
the RMLRA and many people are proud of your efforts that you are doing. Many of
our young drivers are starting to get more seat time and move forward with there
racing efforts.
The weather was warm
during the afternoon and then the winds started blowing before the feature. I
made my way back to Broomfield by 11:15 PM and looked at a lot of hail that
fell at my home, with leaves all over my front yard. At 7:00 AM there is still
a lot of hail on my porch.
Here are last night’s final
results unless we had a tech violation.
