Pontiac51's Slot Race

18-03-01

Welcome to 2001! Finally back on a BIG track with a long fast straight for those topspeeders. The new pack of cars droven in by variuos drivers from the field were considerd to have more "punch" then the older ones. "Kleiner" and "Sam" dominated qualify (they had the most "seat" time on this track), the others followed in depending on their effort made in training.

This final saw all 3 contenders shivering, full of adrenaline and desperatly waiting for green. "Viking" and "Pontiac51" started with a DNF, next run "Pontiac51" ran out of track in the hairpin, giving up his lead. Then "Sam" spoiled it, giving "Viking" the lead. But "Viking" scored zero pts right the next run. This continued till the last race were "Viking" and "Sam" both held 26 pts and "Pontiac51" was sort of short with 22 pts. "Sam" then caused a restart loosing it on the backstraight in the last lap. In the last heat "Pontiac51" was rather chanceless against "Viking", who made another mark on his winners board.

Congrats to all drivers, thank you, ladies and gentleman, for an exiting race. The Pontiac51 Raceway will be back after easter. Till then, go fast, turn left...
