CV and Bryan went into this race with one of the tightest point’s battles NASA-AZ has seen in years. A slight distraction due to traffic found CV Wells taking an off track excursion after misjudging his braking zone leaving the door open for Bryan McCormick. CV Wells great start put him on the inside position heading into turn 3. The green flag dropped late in the afternoon and as expected, Bryan McCormick and Mark Alger were off to a quick lead with CV Wells sticking right with them. Bryan McCormick followed in a very close 2 nd place posting a time of 1:54.028, with CV Wells qualifying 3 rd overall. Mark Alger qualified in 1 st position with a time of 1:53.971. A last minute change had big bore set out in a normal qualifying session. Just one lap into the race, spectators were able to see racers flying by three cars wide through start finish, keeping just enough rubber on the track to hold traction. Small Bore set out first in a qualifying race. After the intense race Saturday, racers were eager to qualify on top. Sunday once again saw split qualifying followed by a combined class sprint race. Jeff Wojnar took home the class win with Dave Hauck and Steve Marlow falling in just behind him. The 944 Spec racers came to play on Saturday. In the end Brian Turner took the win for PT-A with John Dowling actually turning the fastest PT-A lap of the race with a 2:02.008, bringing home a 2 nd place class finish. Flying around the track, these racers put on a great show for both competitors and Racers alike. No race is complete without the Porsches’ of Brian Turner and John Dowling. Matt McIntyre and Jeremy Renshaw fought hard in PT-B but in the end, it was another 1 st place finish for McIntyre with Renshaw close behind. CV Wells follow ed taking 2 nd in ST-2 and a respectable 3 rd place overall finish. After 9 laps and a flat tire, unable to finish, Mark Alger pulled off leaving Bryan McCormick to grab a well-deserved second place overall finish and 1 st place in ST-2. Not only was Mark fighting for his position, massive ABS failures had him doing everything he could to keep from locking up into each corner. Mark Alger and Bryan McCormick refused to be left out, showing some great exhibits of car control going back and forth for second overall. As expected, Paul Lynch quickly worked his way to the front of the pack with a best lap of 1:52.825, stealing the show. The green flag soon dropped and the long straight away at IMR roared to life. Having not qualified, Paul Lynch of Team had his work cut out for him starting at the back of the back. Saturday’s race was filled with battles for class and overall leads. Matt McIntyre followed close behind qualifying 1 st in PT-B with Brian Turner qualifying 1 st in PT-A. That being said, the racers drove hard leading to Bryan McCormick, Mark Alger and CV Wells qualifying in the top three spots overall mixing ST-2 in with SU. As we all know, traffic can often be a deciding factor in a race. With a combined class sprint race on Saturday, racers were on edge to qualify with the best position possible. On behalf of NASA-AZ and all its competitors, we wish Joshua and Megan Ray the best of luck in their future together and thank them for sharing their beautiful day with all of us. If you did not get a chance to congratulate them over the weekend, have no fear, Josh and Megan are continuous supporters and staff at NASA-AZ events so be sure to look for them at the next event and give them your best wishes. After Megan excitedly accepted, the two decided what better location to seal the deal. For anyone who missed it, Josh proposed to Megan just months ago at our last event at Inde Motorsports Ranch.
On October 1 st, 2011, Joshua Ray and Megan Parent stood in front of family and friends to take each other’s hand in marriage. Race rubber was not the only thing heating up the track during this weekend.
#Flatout motorsports drivers
Travel time aside, drivers came in full force ready to enjoy the track and cool weather offered in Wilcox, Arizona.
With a little over a three-hour drive from the Phoenix area, it was great to see another positive turnout of competitors looking to better their times on a relatively new track to NASA-AZ. As the summer was slowly coming to a close, NASA AZ made its final trip down south to the beautiful Inde Motorsports Ranch for another weekend full of friends, great memories, and most important of all, great Racing.
