Hi All,
First and foremost, thanks to Duane and Lance of Slingshot Speedway for still going on with the race. It was a great weekend of slots with great people, as usual. Big thanks to our two travelers for this past weekend, Rich Drejcek & Rob Fleischman - great guys! Thanks for giving us your support, and you guys have ours when the time comes.
Saturday was filled with two heats of XLOT races, the XLOT Final, and two heats of 1/32 Sport races. Sunday consisted of the 1/32 Final along with a Slot.it Challenge race and SCX Pro-Car IROC Race. It was a fun filled Sunday of racing, both intense and relaxed.
Each XLOT and 1/32 Qualifying heat required drivers complete 10minutes each lane for a total of 1hr of track time. The final for both was 15minutes each lane, which is 1.5hrs of run time coming to a grand total of 2.5hrs of run time for the top 6 finalists for each car. This was the first time we ran XLOT's in a short endurance race. We were worried the motors would not take the constant load of the car, and unfortunately, one car suffered an intermittent motor problem that would cause the
comm 
to lock up occasionally. The NC6's in the 1/32 cars were reliable as usual, and we'd like to thank Lance for taking the time to test each motor to make sure we received close motors for handout.
Enough with the jibbajabba, here are the results:
