As usual, don't forget to see the updated fastest times for the FRC classes to know what the benchmarks are for your cars, the updated class average qualifying times and the updated fastest times for 2016.

See you on the circuit...

Exciting night of racing as usual at FRC. These two classes really are among my favourites. O'Brie had the unfortunate experience of his Ferrari's laps not being counted in two races. Both O'Brie and I had other problems as well, O'Brie with his Escort's gear mesh and me with my Mustang's axle jumping out (again !). I guess one could say both of these cars are Fords so the old saying, Fix Or Repair Daily could apply. On the other hand, Ramesh's GT40, also a Ford , won its class so the other old saying First On Race Day could also apply. Maybe next time I'll look for a Datsun to come with to challenge the hierarchy !
Thanks to Luke for providing excellent marshaling support in both races.
Congrats to Ramesh on winning both classes raced and of course on taking the overall victory.
Looking forward to the next event.
