This past weekend held rounds 3 & 4 of the US FST Series at Nelson Ledges. There were actually 17 FST's at the track, but only 15 drivers to pilot them. Still at 15 cars, this event is the largest FST grid to date. Nelson Ledges was just as it was from the previous year, fast and bumpy.
High spots of the weekend:
Greg Rice pulls off a blistering 1:11.7 in qualifying and sets the race record at 1:12.8 for Saturday.
On Sunday Robert Clark held it for a couple of laps at 1:12.7, but Doug Seim picked it up a few laps later and now holds the race record at 1:12.687.
The weekend saw its 3rd and 4th series race winners with Doug Seim getting the win on Saturday while Kiwi Robert Clark gets his first series win on Sunday.
Jim Nash's Mission (now in full orange color) made the longest trip from Bloomington, MN and had a great weekend with minimal "teething" issues.
Full results to be posted later (got to go to work), but in general, the weekend was fun and the competition was tough.
We did get plenty of photos and video (posted soon)
