Rounds 3 & 4 April
17-18
OMC Norman Ok
Track improvements at OMC
were put to the test this weekend as 105 entries
came together for 2 days of racing. Mostly cloudy weather in the
70's had air density readings in 93% range both days. OMC recently
had some track grinding done to bring bring it back to it's normal
glass-smooth surface leaving Friday's practice times about 2 seconds off
the pace. As the green track became seasoned through the weekend,
lap times came down with the track returning to fast by Sunday.
Race Director Jon Anderson
ran a flawless race with Swiss-timing punctuality. Plenty of morning
practice with racing concluded by 4:30 each day.
Sunday brought in a sustained 25MPH wind with gusts to
40MPH. In the early AM the winds were from the east blowing down the
main straight with most of the more savvy racers dropping a notch on
gearing. By afternoon the wind shifted from out of the south putting
the test to EZY-Up canopies.
Bill Kistler of Racepix was there taking excellent
photos.

Kartweb will have a short video on-line later in the

TJ Michael and Creighton Dekalb put on a great show on both days with
several passes made. With best lap times only a tenth of a second
apart, the battle was intense - certainly slower then the 125 Pros, but
exciting none-the-less.

Jr 1 |
| Devin Mauk (photo)
consistently turned laps a second faster then the rest of the pack
pulling out a 17 second lead to win Saturday's Round 3 race.
With a commitment elsewhere on Sunday, Devin wasn't able to compete
on Sunday. Crispin Beaver stepped up the
speed on Sunday and racing with a strong headwind still managed to
gain some speed from the day before. It was estimated the wind
was adding about 3-4 tenths to the lap times from Saturday in the
early races. Connor Iseli put on a great show with Crispin
having several passes exchanged in the early laps. |
