Congrats to Lezlie for winning Race #2 by sweeping all four classes. Ken somehow managed to finish second in TransAM even though his Pioneer Camaro blew a wheel….lucky he only lost two laps.

Congratulations to our own Richard H for his third place podium finish in his first Proxy race! Richard’s #17 “dirty” Cooper proved to be the giant killer, much as it had in the 1967 South African Grand Prix. It won every heat in his group and was remarkably consistent across all drivers, both in terms of fastest lap times and lap count. … More F1 1967 Scratch Build Proxy Rounds 1 & 2 Quebec
