Day 2 Summary:
Day 1 ended with some close racing. I'll highlight a summary of the top three overall, and a couple of the closest below.
Richard had a 0.127s lead in overall PAX, but The Tom's (G and K) were in the hunt. They finished Day 1 0.075s apart in BS, taking the 2nd and 3rd spots overall. Shannon and Brock had the tightest battle, with Shannon ending Day 1 on top by only 0.001s!! The SSC race had Jared in front by 0.448s.
Day 2 started out, dare i say it, chilly! The wind was mild, but it turned into a scorcher! Richard's course started on the other end of the runway with a slalom into a tricky turnaround on the apron. A right hand sweeper led you back onto the runway, where you had to shoot the gap into the "wallums". A second slalom led you into the figure 8 turnaround. Navigate all the way back, and into the finish. The afternoon swapped the turnaround directions, which provided an interesting variation. Risk was rewarded on this course, and we had some fantastic driving from everyone!
The battles got even hotter as the day progressed. Drivers looked fast, and we had a great view of some 4 wheel slides in the sweeper. Quick summary on the couple close ones mentioned above.
- Tom K found time to take the lead in BS from Tom G, but only by 0.125s combined overall for the weekend!
- Shannon and Brock ended the weekend reversed as well, with Brock ahead by 0.884s combined.
- Derek and Jared competed fiercely all day, and swapped places in the end, with Derek in front by only 0.316s combined.
- Cam had an amazing Day 2, clawing back an incredible amount of time to hop into the trophies in Street.
- Alan had an amazing run in his Caterham Super in the morning, taking FTD for Day 2 AM with a 52.800s!
- Dallin found a massive amount of time in the afternoon, coming in only 0.227s behind Richard for the Day 2 PM session.
The hunt for the overall champion was close in all three sessions. The spread from first to third after Day 1 was only 0.202s with Richard in the lead, followed by Tom G and Tom K. Richard was on a mission on Day 2, working that M3 hard all day to extend his lead to 2.064s.
At the end of two amazing days, The 2019 Canadian Autoslalom Champion was Richard, in his wife's M3
