So here we all are at the end of the first Heat Racing Series G2 Cup races. At this time I would like to personally thank everyone who attended any of the events that were scheduled. If it wasnt for you racing would not of been possible. "Thanks". The series started at Daytona_rpv. The event was scheduled for 45 laps and ran for 56:24.879. RookiesRock got the pole for the race with a time of 45:653. He jumped out to an early start showing the rest of the field how its done. But on 9/30/2011 it wasnt RookiesRocks night. Patch would end up winning the first event. RookiesRock would end in 5th position but would lead the most laps. The next three races were all dominated by the driver of the 25 car...BmxTwins. He came out of the gate with his foot through the floor board. Although Patch won the pole at Atlanta with a time of 28:899 and RookiesRock would capture his 2nd pole at Martinsville runnig a 19:173. BmxTwins would get the pole at Talladega with a 48:441 and get the checkered flag at Atlanta, Martinsville and Talladega. After the first four races it was Patch, Hammer and RookiesRock in the top three in points. The race at Charlotte would stir things up a bit. Hammer would get the pole for this 90 lap featured event with a time of 28:679. It would be a battle all day between Hammer and Donaldson. Donaldson would end up in victory lane and dominating the most laps leading 68 out of the 90 laps scheduled. Patch would end in 5 th RookieRock in 4th but Hammer would end in 2nd and the only driver in the top 3 who would lead any laps. That would hand the points lead over to Hammer after 5 events and 13 points separates 1st from 3rd. Texas would shake things up once again. RookiesRock would gain another pole at this 1.5 mile track sprinting out with a 27:962 qualifying effort. Patch and RookiesRock fought hard all day to decide who would get the points for most laps lead. When the dust cleared in Texas and the 80 laps we run in a time of 40:48.572. It would be Patch who would high in the saddle with the win..but .. it would be a good points day for RookiesRock who would win the most laps lead battle by one lap. Hammer failed to make this event moving him to 3rd in points RookiesRock would take 1st and Patch would move to 2nd with only two races remaining. The next track on the schedule is Richmond. We all know Richmond short flat track where attitudes and tempers like to flare. Mustangman would make his presents known by getting the pole for this event hot lappin with a 21.259. The 105 laps we raced in 45:51.391 and the race was won by Patch. RookiesRock did not make this event. That would drop him to 2nd (116) and Patch (117) up to 1st in the points. Third would be Jess Rathbun who has steadly and quietly climbed his way up. Jess Rathbun has 101 points 18 away from Patch with only one race to go. The last event of the series would be held at Michigan. The event is scheduled for 55 laps. The story of this race was Patch and RookiesRock were separated by 1 point going into the event...However RookiesRock fail to enter the race thuse giving the Championship to Patch. The pole winner for this race would be Patch running a 36:570. Patch would also win this event with Jess Rathbun finishing 2nd at Michigan and runner up in the points. This is the Heat Racing Series Cup series wrap-up. I hope everyone enjoyed the racing and will join in for further Heat Racing Series events. "Thanks" again and see ya all trackside 96 |
