On Saturday, July 24th teams were ready for another race day at Buckingham Field. Today’s race day consisted of two, one hour races. The course today is the same as the dash race held on Friday, approximately 1.1 miles.

Teams made some adjustments to their cars before the race.

As teams lined up for the green flag we had two cars in each class (high school, open, advanced).

The race went very well:

High School
1st Place Mulberry 38 with 20 laps and best lap of 161.588
2nd Place Mulberry 242 with 17 laps and best lap of 167.278

Open
1st Place Archer 321 with 29 laps and best lap of 124.510
2nd Place Tiger 4 with 23 laps and best lap of 144.360

Advanced
1st Place Archer 0 with 25 laps and best lap of 123.775
2nd Place Fortuna 444 with 22 laps and best lap of 116.256

Teams worked on their cars between the races making adjustments to improve their performance in the next race. Most teams were already getting their dose of vitamin D from the sun, even through the sun screen. We encouraged everyone to consume water to stay hydrated.

Tiger Racing had a system malfunction while working on their car and it took off out of the pit area with driver attached to its side. Driver is okay but received some road rash, bruises and sore muscles.

Teams lined up for the second race of the day. The race went well:
