February 2009 LeMans Point Series
Our LeMans Point Series will kick off this afternoon at MBMZRs home track at CFI. We will race Saturday at the 843 RACEWAY track at 843 R/C Hobbies, and will continue to race these two days, at these two places through-out the month. Regular race fees apply.
This will make for eight races with 6 of them being scored. This leaves each competitor two drops for their two lowest scoring races. We will have sporstman class and pro class at each race, and will score them seperately for the series. Prizes will also be awarded for both classes based on total score at the end of the season. We will hand out prizes at the end of the final race on February 28th at 843. Prizes will be as foolows: 1st place - Trophy + $75 gift certificate to 843 R/C Hobbies 2nd place - Trophy + $50 gift certificate to 843 R/C Hobbies 3rd place - Trophy + $25 gift certificate to 843 R/C Hobbies Again, these prizes will be awarded to each the sportsman series winners, and the pro series winners. You will be placed into the class based on your past perfromances and the race directors discretion. Basically,whatever class you are racing now, you will be racing until the series is over. We can determine bump-ups/downs from class to class after the March 7th event, when club racing resumes its normal scheduling. Points for each race will be awarded as follows: 1st place - 20 points 2nd place - 18 points 3rd place - 16 points 4th place - 15 points 5th place - 14 points 6th place - 13 points and so on, down to 1 point for 18th place. Stay tuned for tonights results! Im kicking myself every couple of minutes trying to remember the video camera, lol. EDIT: I should have just done this the first time :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...sSeries001.jpg |

Ed,
Thanks for posting the results. It looks like the Sportsman are off to a battle. Hopefully more of us pros can start making some showings and catch up to the race in our class :o You, Bobby, and Shane have got something going on! 2 points between you :eek: Hopefully with the off-road weekend out of the way, everyone will show up ready to race :D |

Results from race #3 of the February 2009 LeMans Point Series.
Attachment 26681 What a great night of racing. Good, clean racing and everyone had a great time. Thanks everyone for coming out. |
It was a great night of racing! Even though I had difficulties in the main, and had my worst finish in a while, it was still the most fun night of MiniZ racing weve had in a long time! The sportsmanship and attitudes were awesome (on an off the track), and the quality of racing was just phenomenal, all the way from the top of Pro A-main, down to Woodie and Kevins battle for second in the Sport B-main. What a great night!!
Ill get the season standings and videos posted up soon. I missed the Sportsman B, and only got a portion of the great race between Bobby and Ed in the Pro B :( That was one heck of a race, and I really wish we had the footage. Im pretty sure Ive got both of the As, but havent confirmed or edited them down yet. Ill get on that, and Ill have them up soon! |
Ive got the videos uploading to youtube, but at 8 minutes a piece they are taking their sweet time :D Ill probably get them up tommorrow, but there is a small chance Ill get them tonight sometime after they finish.
In the mean time, I did some preliminary figuring so I could get some standings up. Ill have a print out with all of the official scores at the race on saturday. Ive got them shown as overall, which is all the races combined, then I also have them shown with one drop. After this weekends race, Ill start posting them with 2 drops for each person. That way every one will see exactly what they have to do to move up each week. Standings: Pro OVERALL: Ed - 51 Bobby - 48 Shane - 45 KB - 38 Landon - 35 Eric - 16 Monty - 12 Pro w/ 1 drop: KB - 38 Ed - 36 Landon - 35 Bobby - 34 Shane - 32 Eric - 16 Monty - 12 Sportsman OVERALL: Andy - 58 Chad - 52 Tannie - 52 Woodie - 41 Kevin - 38 Stan - 15 Matthew - 14 Steven - 15 Chris - 11 Sportsman w/ 1 drop: Andy - 40 Chad - 36 Tannie - 36 Woodie - 28 Kevin - 28 Stan - 15 Matthew - 15 Steven - 13 Chris - 11 Once you factor in the drop its pretty amazing the top 5 is within 6 points of each other. Weve got us a very tight battle for second with 3 of us within 2 points :eek: Itll be cool to see how this plays out over the next few weeks. I hope I can make to the rest of the races thats for sure, lol. In Sportsman its even closer! With the drop figured in, Andy is off to a 4 point lead (but he is going to miss this saturday :o), with Tannie and Chad tied for the second spot :eek: Take one step down, and youve got Kevin and Woodie tied up for the fourth spot! Those guys are on the bubble for the money, so look out for them to step it up in the coming weeks to try and move into the money spots :D I dont think weve seen the last of Matthew either, I heard he had some techinical difficulties at the start of the last race, and still mae a strong run. He will be in the hunt before this thing is over, Im sure of it :D |
yes the racing was great fun now if I can just hold on to the end!!!!
Tannie |
Haha, Chad has a victory under his belt at 843, so hes got te tie braker on you too! You either need to get yourself a victory, or atleast have a point advantage on him by the 28th :D
|
I got the videos uploaded to youtube. Here are the links. There was some great racing going on in those A-mains! I wish I could have been more a part of it :( I missed the Sport B, and most of the Pro B, sorry guys. Atleast I remembered them before the As were over.
