Classic Le Mans V – MID-BC

The Kelowna Classic Le Mans Enduro was resurrected for the end of our 2024 -25 season and what a race it was! Three major breakdowns resulted in a lot of lost laps for three racers. Ken lost about 50 laps after the guide holder on his Fly GT40 chassis broke during a 4 minute heat in the 63 – 69 era race. Ken luckily was able to somewhat glue the guide holder together and re-enter the race. Matt lost a wheel in the 63 – 69 era race during a 12 minute heat and the repair took a bit of time costing Matt about 45 laps. The last major breakdown was John catching a piece of lead in his Fly Porsche 908 locking the front wheels causing the car to run sluggish until the problem was finally discovered causing John to lose about 7 laps in a 1963-69 era 4 minute heat . … More Classic Le Mans V – MID-BC

Race #17 Rogers Raceway

A very close competitive day of Racing!! This is the first time I remember a tie for first place. Congrats to Lez and Henry for your great display of slot car racing! Lez and Henry each had two wins and Lez was the only racer of the day to finish on the podium in all four classes while Henry had fastest laps in all four classes. Rob’s extra points in the last two classes enabled him to pass Leo to finish third. Leo had a very strong start for the day with two second place finishes and in the end finished fourth. Henning, Dariusz and John finished within a point of each other but Henning’s strong performance in Nascar helped him finish fifth while Dariusz and John ended up in a tie for sixth. Matt finished eighth and Don K in ninth. … More Race #17 Rogers Raceway
