Flexi Wing Cars and LMP racers headlined the slot car races at Charlie's Garage in Pearl, MS on Saturday, March 27. Each racer in each class drew a token with numbers on them and the racers drawing odd numbers raced in heat one and the even numbers raced in heat two. Everyone was getting their cars prepped for the "Spring Shootout" coming April 17 at Charlie's Garage.
Bud Greene took the early lead in heat one of the Flexi Wing Car class with John Clow 2nd, Terry Jensen 3rd, Mike Trosper 4th, and Bill Carlin 5th. John moved to the front after two rotations with Terry 2nd, Mike 3rd, Bud 4th, and Bill C 5th. At halfway Terry claimed 1st with John dropping to 2nd, Mike 3rd, Bud 4th, and Bill C 5th. Positions held stable through the last rotation with Terry 1st, John 2nd, Mike 3rd, Bill C 4th and Bud 5th with a DNF.
Scott Woolard led heat two after one rotation with Chuck Hendricks 2nd, Keith Auwarter 3rd, Larry Stoker 4th, and Bill Patterson 5th. Bill P. hasn't raced with us for over a year due to the virus. Hopefully we will be able to welcome back more missing racers in the next few weeks. Round two was more of the same except that Keith suffered car issues and had to drop out for a rotation or two as he worked on his car. At halfway the positions remained the same and Keith was back racing after quick repairs. Round six was the beginning of a close race between Scott and Chuck as they were both on the same lap. Scott took a two lap lead after seven rotations with the outcome of the heat resting on the outcome of the last rotation. First overall was within Scott's grasp with an outstanding 48 lap run. However Scott and Chuck swapped the lead back and forth as both racers lost ground to the overall winner Terry Jensen from the first heat. At the end of round eight Chuck's car stopped about a foot ahead of Scott's.
