What a great day of racing. The open class had a rough day, the three cars in the class all ended their race day before the first race was over. Tiger car 4 (Rodney) never left the pit area after coming off of the truck, possible blown motor controller. ETO Car 60 (Brady) had a rear wheel collapse in one of the turns on lap twelve. \"\"<\/a>Silver Bullet\/Robinson Racing car 94 (Jim) had a little scraping noise as he went around the track, a little louder each time until he finally bottomed out due to a grade 8 bolt that sheered off causing the front suspension issue and put the front end on the ground.<\/p>\n

At the end of the first race, it was Ryno Racing car 365 (Ryan) beating USF car 48 (Sai) by seconds in the Advanced Battery Class as both cars had 79 laps. USF car 132 (Stephen\/John) finished the first race with 53 laps and no broken parts. In the Open Class, that had all the issues, Silver Bullet\/Robinson Racing car 94 (Jim) barely beat ETO car 60 (Brady) by 2 laps. In the High School Class, Mulberry car 38 had a 23 lap win over Simmons car 35. Brooks DeBartolo car 55 remained in the pits the entire first race with mechanical issues. But the race day was not over for those teams with running cars.
\n\"\"<\/a>In the second race, all Open Class cars stayed in the pits.
\nThe Advanced Battery Class was at it again, racing for the win of the day. USF car 48 (Sai) took the win the second race by three laps over Ryno Racing car 365 (Ryan), USF car 132 (John\/Stephen) only completed 12 laps as their tires finally said enough, no more racing this season.
\nIn the High School Class, Simmons car 35 met the challenge after their 23 lap loss the first race and beat Mulberry car 38 by 31 laps, Brooks DeBartolo car 55 got on the track and had numerous tire issues, but finished with 26 laps.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the last race of the 2018 – 2019 ETO Race Season the results were:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Advanced Battery Class – 3rd Place – USF Car 132 John and Stephen with 65 laps. \"\"<\/a> Advanced Battery Class – 2nd Place – Ryno Racing Car 365 (Ryan ) with 160 laps. \"\"<\/a> Advanced Battery Class – 1st Place – USF Car 48 Sai with 163 laps. \"\"<\/a> High School Class – 3rd place – Brooks DeBartolo Car 55 with 26 laps. \"\"<\/a> High School Class – 2nd Place – Mulberry Car 38 with 108 laps. \"\"<\/a> High School Class – 1st Place – Simmons Car 35 with 122 laps. \"\"<\/a> Open Class – 2nd Place – ETO Car 60 Brady Driving with a total of 11 laps, Charlie accepted award for Brady. \"\"<\/a> Open Class – 1st Place – Silver Bullet\/Robinson Racing Car 94 with 13 laps.<\/p>\n
