RACE REPORT #322 - July 27th 2024 (HSnm, APCnm, MPnm)
We had a turnout of seven drivers for our Historic Saloon, American Pony Car and Modified Production races and even fit in a Ferrari Challenge IROC race to accommodate Dominic, who was present, making it his second visit to FRC.
During the course of the afternoon, twenty-three different car/driver combinations took part in the seven races run which were all very competitive, as has become the norm of late. There were a few retirements where cars driven by O'Brie, Warren and myself had failures of one type of another during a race, but we were able to again compete in the second round of these races, having repaired or replaced the damaged cars.
It again was a great evening of keen competition that kept all drivers focused on their driving, producing lots of fun by the time we had to pack up and leave.
Luke couldn't make it so here are some pics I took start things off.
