[FONT=Times New Roman]Formula Car Challenge Presented by Goodyear – Southwest – Hallett[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Rounds 11 & 12 of the Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear – Southwest were held at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on July 23-24-25. We welcomed a special guest; Moses Smith (FM Manufacturer), who is trying to visit the different FM Series around the country. Thanks to Moses for his dedicated support![/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]We also welcomed two new drivers into the 2010 Series. Thanks to Darrell Mease and Phil Brown for joining and racing with us.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]We got lots of track time as we usually do at the COMMA sanctioned events at Hallett. Friday was “open track” all day with 4 sessions on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]One would think with only 6 FM’s in attendance, there wouldn’t be much excitement, but that was far from the truth on Saturday with 4 drivers fastest race laps within a ½ second. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Davis Parr qualified on the pole Saturday but had to really work hard for the win with David Vanhooser and George Jackson on his tailpipe. You could have thrown a blanket over the Top 3 for most of the race with countless unsuccessful pass attempts. Initially, Darrell Mease was also in the mix until a spin on Lap 3. Parr won with Vanhooser in a very close 2nd and Jackson 3rd.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Parr got the pole again on Sunday with Jackson qualifying 2nd and Vanhooser in 3rd. Parr pulled out into a comfortable lead with Jackson, Vanhooser, and Mease battling. Jackson spun out on Lap 2 leaving Mease to put the pressure on Vanhooser, both racing on their home track. On Lap 8, Mease spun out and Vanhooser finished 2nd with Mease in 3rd.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Congrats to George Jackson for getting his 1st Fastest Race Lap on Saturday.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Thanks to Connie and Scott Stephens at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit for their usual terrific hospitality.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Our next and final Series event will be at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Tx on Oct 15-16-17. We will have our Series Awards presentation Saturday evening. Saturday's race will be for points and Sunday's race will be for fun![/FONT]
