Fontana Pro Solo - Friday - Sunday

[Reijo]

Fontana is at the Autoclub (former) super speedway in the SW corner of the property in the green lot.  This is a large lot where the LA region has most of their regular solo events (looks like El Toro is done now ... development has encroached on the old AFB unfortunately).

First group (all the ladies' classes!   Just remembered they decided to put all the ladies in a single run goup(s) ... well, together....great idea.  Those ladies in the Pros really have a great competition ... really tight racing ... ).   Orieta is running in L2 ... so right now.

In the next group we have BS with Wayne and Ryan ... think Jay runs in the 3rd (of 4) groups in the 6th heat in SS.

Times are being posted on sololive right now .... 1st group of ladies and junior karts are running.

[Reijo]

Orieta coned both her runs on one side ... but she has another 4 runs to get it together this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Ryan is running now ... very fast time on one side and RL (red light) on the other .... looking good!  Wayne will be up soon.

update:  Ryan's 2nd run after the RL is really slow .... about 8 seconds too slow ... must've spun the car.   Well, 2 more sets to come!

I notice Navid Khangi is in a Ford Focus RS and is essentially matching Ryan's times ... but he RL both runs on the same side as Ryan RL'd and spun ... They are 1/10th apart .. so looking to be a good battle there ... interesting ... Cayman S vs. Focus RS.   

[Reijo]

Wayne is running now in Ryan's Cayman S .... Jay be coming up in a while after that ... say maybe an hour or less....

Ryan's slow time is wrong -- he's getting a rerun.

[Reijo]

That's odd ... Ryan's 37 sec. slow time has disappeared from the scoring .... wonder if it was a red-flagged run or incorrect timing and he is going to get a re-run later?   hmmm.....

And Wayne just jumped up to 5th (trophies to 4th) on his 3rd run of the morning!   One more run to go ... good job.  However Navid and Ryan are the fastest guys ... 0.0.21 sec. apart in the 29's (only ones in the 29's in the class) but both do not have a good run on the one side ... which seems to be a troublesome side for some reason.

[Reijo]

Ryan's slow time is wrong -- he's getting a rerun.

Ah ... thanks!    Are you texting with someone from the site?

Wayne finished his morning runs and is 0.006 sec. out of the last trophy place (4th). 

When Ryan gets his re-run and if he gets a good run, I think he should be able to get into the lead ... at the looks of it.

[Reijo]

There we go!

Ryan pulls off a good run and he has a 1.0+ second lead over Kyle Williams (FRC 'vette).  However I'm sure Navid will clean up his act and jump right alongside Ryan in the next set of runs!

[Reijo]

Mark Scroggs is leading DS in a 4cyl. Camaro!   Interesting.

[Reijo]

Ugh, Jay RL'd both right side runs but ran the fastest time in the left course!  Charles Kim is fast ... in the same type/year of car and was just a little bit slower than Jay on that side ... There are two more sessions to clean up his act so I'd say looking good.  Of course, the others will continue to get faster also.

[Reijo]

Heitkotter (STU) on his first run has the fastest left side run .... on his Nexens ....
