Final Race '06

Oct 14th Open Comp Results...Final 2006 Event

Despite the cool and windy conditions there were about 80 cars on hand for the day and 9 who decided to try their hand at some ProTree racing.
As the cool weather and sticky race track came together there were alot of personal bests posted throughout the day and the Track Prep-man Kenny 'I Killed Another-One' Heoppner did claim another one as one racer had a transmission bite the dust.
The previous weeks traction capabilities claimed no less than four axles during the event.
Qualifying began with six cars entered and had Corey Herman grabbing the number one slot with a .004 reaction time and that would hold through all three rounds for the top spot. Jay Roeder, Tim Kroneman, and Tom VanTassel jumped in during the second and, or third qualifying sessions to claim the number three, five, and six spots respectively to mix it up with the rest of the field: Ed Stettin (7), David Hensche (9), Eric Sloan (8), Jim Winters Sr (4), and Gene Hinders (2).

This round of the Midwest Open Comp Series had some of the best series of reaction times ever posted, during qualifying and the race there were a number of great reaction times posted. Even the foul starts were in the -.000's
The opening round began with the 'tree killer' Jim Winters squeezing the tree just abit too much with a -.005 foul start and John Miller nailing it with a .018 and running a 10.751 off of his 10.64 index.
Then it was 'the phenom' Eric Sloan's .035 initiated run of 16.941 off of his 16.87 index that was enough to cover Jay 'Stock/SuperStock' Roeder's 11.342 run off of his 11.25 index after having given Eric a little extra head start.
The last pair had Gene Hinders taking the win with a 10.723 off of his 10.65 index when Dave Gibson had an oh-so-close foul at the start with a -.007 reaction time.
The Semi-Finals had Gene vs Eric and John with the bye-run.Eric just missed it with a -.005 reaction time and his 17.017 would have fell short anyway as Gene ran a 10.726 off of his 10.65 index.
John made a full pass of it on his single and posted a 10.763 off of his 10.64 index with a .074 reaction-time.
The finals would be virtually a heads-up race with Gene's index at 10.64 and John's at a 10.65 index. The reaction time was the clincher in the final round as both drivers ran 10.70's....Gene a 10.708 and John a 10.704...the winning difference was Gene's .024 reaction compared to John's .050 reaction time.
The next event is October 14th at Cedar Falls Raceway...See Ya There!!!!
