There was a lot of slot car racing going on at Charlie's Garage in Pearl, MS on Saturday, 3/20/21. The popular LMP raced first followed by the Flexi Wing Car Novice class and then the NASCAR Modified cars made their 2021 debut on the big tri-oval.
The LMP raced first and I will put both heats together in order to show the standings as the race progressed. Lee Shirley jumped out to a lead after one rotation with Terry Jensen 2nd and Scott Woolard 3rd. They were followed by Bill Carlin, Chuck Hendricks, Mark Woolard, Keith Auwarter, and David Probst. The standings remained the same until round three when Chuck passed Terry for 2nd as Lee had built a 4 lap lead. Round 5 was the turning point in the race as Lee suffered a mechanical issue and dropped from 1st to 3rd. Chuck inherited the lead while Terry moved into 2nd. The standings remained the same through the finish with Chuck claiming the win, Terry 2nd, and Lee 3rd. All 3 of the LMP podium cars were Outisight Stealth 501 bodies painted by Jerry Wyant at Boogie Racing. All 3 were powered by Top Secret Intimidator motors.
LMP Results
1. Chuck Hendricks 346 laps
2. Terry Jensen 341 laps
3. Lee Shirley 336 laps
4. Bill Carlin 329 laps
5. Scott Woolard 314 laps
6. Keith Auwarter 295 laps
7. Mark Woolard 265 laps
8. David Probst 232 laps
The Novice Flexi Wing Car race was next and featured drivers from the MS Gulf Coast as well as Slidell, LA. Larry Stoker with 338 laps took the win with Taylor Dorris in just her 2nd race ever finishing 2nd as she ran 329 laps and David Probst turned 301 laps to finish 3rd. It is great to have a Novice Flexi Wing Car class run it's 2nd race this month.
Last to race were the NASCAR Modified cars on the tri-oval. These cars ran qualifications to determine where they started.

Keith was the early leader with Terry 2nd and Larry 3rd. Keith remained the leader through round 3 with Larry overtaking Terry for 2nd. The field flipped at halfway with Larry moving to the front, Terry 2nd, and Keith 3rd. After 5 rounds 1st and 2nd were the same but now Chuck moved to 3rd. The top 3 held those positions until the last rotation when Terry moved ahead of Larry by 6 feet at the finish and Keith advanced to 3rd for the last podium spot.
