The final race of the first quarter of the 2011 Slot.it Challenge was exciting as they come. Race day was one of the warmest we’ve seen in months, which may have contributed to track conditions that caused a mixed bag of performance for our competitors, and many deslots in places where we don’t normally experience them. In spite of the odd offs, the race for the championship remained close to very last laps. At the end of the day we found first and second place separated by a mere 5 feet!

Congratulations to our first three podium finishers in the Austin Slot Car Club: Marty M. 3rd, Ary B. 1st, and Shawn G. 2nd. Way to go guys!!

This round marks the end of the first quarter of the 2011 Championship, which means that we swap motors again, and racers who ran in all six events get to choose one race to exclude from the final points and laps scoring. It also means that we will be starting the next quarter of the 2011 Championship soon and invite anyone who wants to join us to sign up!
