The Third and Last Summer Series Race at Len Jet Race Report

On Sunday August 25th, 20 Outlaw racers returned to Lenjet Raceway in Ashland, MA for the last of three Summer Series Races at Len Jet. Three races were scheduled…Indy, super stock and an IROC race. The Indy race was to be run on the Shamrock Glen and the super stock on everybody’d favorite …the Champion. The drivers meeting was conducted by Dave Lockwood. There was an excellent discussion on the new magnets on the market and whether to allow them in the Coupes, Super Stock and Limited Super Stock classes for the upcoming season. It was decided to have a vote by eligible racers using Survey Monkey. Members who attended the Rules Meeting were those voting. Thanks Paul for setting it up.

Because there were 20 racers, the racers were divided into 2 groups for the first two races with half racing Indy on the Shamrock Glen and half racing Super Stock on the Champion and then switching.

Indy on the Shamrock

Glen Flash took the win by three laps over Peter Lentros with Grg B a lap behind to take the third step on the podium. Dave, Steve, Terry (nice races Steve and Terry),Donnie, Joe Rinn, Rick M and Jimmy C filled out the top half of the field. Racing was tight all the way down the field with multiple drivers finishing on the same lap

Super Stock on the Champion

Greg B took the win by a lap over Dave with Flash a further lap behind. Donnie, Peter Lentros, Paul R, Rick M, Steve N, Jimmy C and Hal filled out the top half of the field

IROC on the Python

Due to previous commitments, only 13 racers participated in the last race of the day. Those of us that left early missed a great race with Peter taking the win over Flash by inches with Dave taking third less than a lap behind! Steve, Donnie, Hal and Joe Rinn all had 89 laps, Jim Mac and Terry and Tom Gray rounded out the top ten. (less than 2 and a half laps separated 4th through 10th!!!)

Thanks Greg B for setting up the Summer Series Races. Each race had a great turnout and great racing.

And finally a great day of racing on terrific tracks and thanks to Peter Lentros for being a great host as always and providing a great venue for us to race on.
