Slot Car Racing February 24th

Slot car track
Come on out to Chicagoland Raceway for a day of Slot Car Racing and hanging out with MINI friends on Sunday February 24th!!

WRAPUP:  We had a dozen racers and several spectators out for a really fun event..  Two groups of six competed in an 8 race series running a race in each of the different lanes to even out any differences in cars or lane position.  The top two in each head went on to a shorter final series.  First and second heat winners were Ken and Brent.
The overall combined winners went to next-gen CMMC members.. Payton with the win and Cole with a close second place.

Kart Racing – January 27th

 

WRAPUP:  We had a smaller than usual crowd of 13 due to the cold weather, but the racing was intense.  A tight battle in one heat between Sylvia, Allie, and Peter had everyone on their feet till the final lap.  Martin took fast time and first place overall, followed by Steve and Kirk.
