Third Solo Points Event in the Books!

Solo 09.22.2008

WOR's third solo points event was held yesterday, the 21st. 59 driver's came out to Kilkare to compete; 28 members and 31 non members. It was exciting to see so many new faces, as well as see most of our regulars.

As usual, the event started on time, at 10:15 and ran flawlessly. Everyone received four runs in the morning and four runs after a lunch break for a total of eight runs.


Interestingly, the largest class of the day came from E Stock, with eight drivers. Ken Moist led the class all day and finished around two seconds ahead of second place. It seems he's getting that Miata really dialed in.

The bulk of the action, though, was found in D Stock, where the lead switched back and forth all day. Frank Levinson and George Thielen finished a mere two-tenths of a second from one another, while timing and scoring guru Scott Irwin finished third in his BMW.

Most of the Gordon family attended and all raced Bob's 92 Mazda Miata. While Bob has more experience in this car, it was his sons, Andrew and Matt who came out ahead in C Street Prepared. Currently, Bob is getting the last laugh though, as he is currently winning the points race for the year.

Street Modified also was well attended, as the Civic Hatchback crew was out in force. Adam Kolatorowicz came down from OVR and Greg Hall, David McGuigan and Christian Moist also brought their hatchbacks out. Tom Thieman and Doug Brown (who is getting faster by the day) entered Street Modified 2. Tom Thieman had not only the fastest SM time, but the fastest overall time of the day, besting Christian Moist by over two tenths of a second.

Several faces attended this event that we havent seen much of this year. Hector Fontanet entered his new (to us) Ford Focus for a win in D Street Prepared, while the Olivers (Rudy and Matt) brought the Z06 Vette out to take the top two spots in A Street Prepared.

There is one more WOR solo event this year, which is a joint event with Cincy region, hosted by the Cincy region at River Downs on October 5th. This will be the fourth points event and will count towards WOR year end point totals. Participation at three of our four solo points events are mandatory to qualify for year end awards. Additionally, drivers must be a WOR SCCA member. Hope to see you in October!
