Saturday, May 1, LMP and Flexi Wing cars raced at Charlie's Garage in Pearl, MS. We were down to 10 racers this week and need to get the count higher. Of course "we" do get to race every weekend.
Flexi Wing cars were up first and Taylor Dorris led Scott Woolard by less than a lap after the first rotation. Bill Carlin followed in 3rd, David Probst in 4th and Terry Jensen in 5th. All were on the same lap. Scott took the lead in round 2 while in round 3 Bill C. moved to 2nd dropping Taylor to 3rd. Scott suffered mechanical woes in round 7 allowing Bill C to move to the front with Taylor 2nd, Terry 3rd, Scott was still 4th, and David 5th. In the last rotation Terry dropped out with motor issues moving David to 3rd. In a wild finish Taylor pulled within a few feet of Bill C. but time ran out before she could make the pass.
Flexi Wing Car Results
1. Bill Carlin 358 laps
2. Taylor Dorris 358 laps
3. David Probst 302 laps
4. Terry Jensen 302 laps
5. Scott Woolard 294 laps
The LMP class saw Randy Auwarter take the early lead with Lee Shirley one lap back in 2nd, Chuck Hendricks 4 laps back in 3rd, Keith Auwarter 4th, and David Probst 5th. Randy had a 3 lap lead over Chuck after 2 rounds with Lee dropping to 3rd. At halfway Randy only had a one lap lead over Chuck in 2nd with Keith now 3rd, David 4th and Lee 5th after breaking a lead wire. The race now became a battle between Randy and Chuck as Keith was falling behind. After 6 round Chuck moved ahead by a few feet over Randy but in the very next round Randy pulled out to a two lap lead over Chuck. As luck would have it Randy's last rotation was on the dreaded black lane and Chuck caught and passed Randy in the last few seconds. It was an exciting race from start to finish. WHEW!
As a result of a question Chuck was asking on a forum, he did race Iron Man this week in response to the feedback!

I am also attaching a picture of one of our current racers who also raced real cars. This is a picture of David Probst with his Daytona Dash car before the race at Daytona. David went on to finish 3rd in this race.
