TopFuelMan Secures 4th GASCAR Title!

VinDoctor Captures His Third Win.

Qualifying went about as expected for the PBR 4 Health GP @ Road America. VinDoctor eeked out the pole over his BMW M5 driving teammate, Xterminator, by laying down a 2:18.7. Ford qualified ahead of TopFuel bouying his hopes to move into second place in the season points.

The race did not settle down quickly. The BMW's rocketed away but 3rd through 9th were packed up pretty tightly for the first three laps. This was, of course, accompanied by the usual yelling and laughter.  DJ pulled away from TopFuel as Trigga was trying to track the latter down. Ford and MINI traded spots for sixth a couple of times before MINI pulled away a bit.

In what proved to be the call of the race, the two leaders decided to go on a one stop strategy. This forced everyone to follow suit. Given the 4 mile length of Road America that made tire wear a real issue after 7 laps. 

Trigga began to track TopFuel down towards the end of the first stint. MINI had gapped Ford even further as all the cars began to move at about the speed of smell or a snail(Turbo we were not.). On lap 10 MINI clocked himself at 105mph in the middle of the kink. Contrast that speed with the 122mph he was going just a few laps before. All cars dove for the pits at the end of lap 10 to trade the black grease strips around their wheels for actual tires.

Ford was unable to track down MINI and his teammate, Stauburst lagged out. TopFuel, having found a bit of speed was able to track DJ down and brought Trigga with him. A battle ensued but everyone held station at the end of the 20 lap race.

VinDoctor traded spots with Xterminator a couple of times but was seemingly on cruise control while claiming his third win in GASCAR.

TopFuel's fourth place finish assured him of his fourth GASCAR title. His reward will be having his PI restriction lifted for the last race at Infineon NASCAR on June 21. That race will also decide who finishes second in points with DJ just 2 points behind MINI. But Ford's move back to fourth, and the cooresponding bump up in PI may lift him over the other two.

PBR 4 Health Finishing Order:

1. VinDoctor21*
2. XterminatorX*
3. DJ
4. TopFuelMan
5. TriggaMike
6. MiniAndretti
7. Fordv2
8. FenrirProof
9. Stauburst

Thanks to TopFuelMan for bringing this to my attention. I need to be alone now.

FU NSA GP @ Suzuka

Last night the second and final double points race for GASCAR's Spring 2013 A Class Series was held at Suzuka. VinDoctor21 aka Boris Said once again took the poll in his bullet of a BMW M5. DJ wasn't far back in P2 and the other 8 drivers were trying to figure out how to get on the podium. Instink lagging out during qualifying put a very fast Mercedes 190E on the back of the grid.

The usual shuffle occurred on lap 1 while Vin tried to run away and hide. Mini moved to P2 Stauburst's "brave" move under braking going into the hairpin chicane off the back straightaway caused him to move off line. Mini went into the braking zone in P2 and came out of the chicane in P8.

The race settled down for the next several laps despite some very close racing from second through eighth. True to form for GASCAR a caution was eventually called. About half the field pitted declaring for a two stop strategy at that point. 

There were a couple of more cautions in the next six laps before Mini and TopFuelMan sensed an opportunity under green for pitting and running until the end around little traffic. It was all setting up well until Instink mysteriously slowed and turned left in front of Mini in the esses bringing out another caution. So much for strategy.

The next six laps brought about some furious racing and lack of respect between teammates(Ford!). VinDoctor pulled away for the win with DJ and TopFuelMan rounding out the podium. 

Going into the race at Road America on Friday, 6/14, at 11pmET TopFuel will look to mathematically clinch his fourth GASCAR title while Ford and Mini will try to narrow the gap.

Finishing Order:

1. VinDoctor21*
2. DJ
3. TopFuelMan
4. TriggaMike
5. Instink*
6. Fordv2
7. MiniAndretti
8. Stauburst
9. FenrirProof
10. BadRiver*
