Wells Fargo 27 Race Recap

The MS Surface GASCAR Series for Fall 2013 started last night with 12 drivers being able to tear themselves away from rehashing "Breaking Bad" and sorting out their internet connections. There were some notable absences but I can't be bothered to deal with those people right now. They all got their 8 points for their first missed race though, the end.

Back to the action on the track at the 2.24 mile Nurburgring GP Short circuit. Qualifying shook out with Top Fuel Man capturing the pole position. As usual, DJ was right on his tail. Newcomer BeckX from redditracing was in third.

After the lights went out and the field rumbled down to turn one there was talk of five wide action heading into the hairpin right hander. This writer didn't see that action as he was going wide and trying not to kill Instink's 79 Camaro. There was a few tussles in the opening lap before the field settled down.

Frankly, other than DJ and Top battling for the lead it was a rather boring caution free race. (It's probably a good thing as Teeter passed out on lap 3 having reached into his 12 pack of Natty Light early.) Everyone drove quite hard but it proved difficult to make up ground on other drivers. BeckX and Instink managed to lead a lap each during the position shuffle due to pit stops.

DJ drove his 1995 Mustang at ten tenths for the the whole race and forced Top Fuel to use up the tires on his BMW M1 on his way to the way. Finishing order with credit for laps led is below.

The next race, at Maple Valley Reverse, is TBD depending Ford or Top hosting while MINI is on vacation.
