ECT Sim Racing League

OGR Outlaw put on another display of his road course prowess by overpowering the field at the beautiful but tough Alabama track. Lick your wounds and get prepared for next week when the lights come on at Richmond.

The Indycar Series haulers rolled into the Wisconsinn State Fairgrounds for this weeks show. The flat Milwaukee Mile would prove a new challenge to the series drivers. OGR Bama brought his Crimson Tide ride into Badger country and proved to be the class of the field nailing down the pole. From the drop of the green, Bama steadily pulled out a comfortable lead until green flag stops began. The “chicane style” pit entrance would prove treacherous as points leader OGR Ellie would bring out the nights only caution attempting to access his pits. The caution would catch several drivers a lap down. On the restart, OGR Bama would again take the lead but a reported set of “bad tires” prevented him from getting away. SEC rival from Florida, Bruce Phalin would run him down and take the lead for the next 32 laps. Following final green flag pit stops with his “tire problem” remedied, OGR Bama put on a driving exhibition as he would chase down Phalin and resume the lead to the checkers for a total of 102 laps lead. ECT Q would bring the Puma Chevy home in second with OGR Ellie recovering from his early troubles and finishing third. Next week the high banks of Nashville will offer up new challenges for those brave souls who make the field.

The Indycar Circus rolled into the Bluegrass State for this weeks show. West Virginia’s own Chuck McClure took advantage of the short tow to get in a little extra practice which he used to win the pole. Race speeds were close as there were a total of 22 lead changes among eight drivers. McClure though, would edge out Vermont’s Jim Windrow for most laps led with 27. The carnage from two cautions would split the field by those with and without damage. The four leaders would pack up and run together until different strategies for green flag pitstops would separate them temporarily but when they were over all four were back together again with 20 laps to go. Florida’s Bruce Phalin would start picking off spots. With less than ten to go he would slip past McClure after a slight bobble and run to the checkers for his first win of the season. McClure would finish second with Windrow rounding out the podium in third. Series points leader OGR Ellie came home in fourth to hold on to the points lead. Next week Milwaukee will play host to the series. Come join the fun !
