Event #2<\/h2>\n

Hawkeye Tech<\/h2>\n

Hawkeye Tech is always a fun event, the surface is great and it’s always nice to have real bathrooms. The Gates opened at 7am for the early arrivers and the timing truck with all the cones rolled in a little later. Course design was done by Joe, he started with the idea to have a little bit different crossover and it ended up working out great. It really rewarded you when you got it right, but if you got it wrong you knew. After tech inspection, course walks, drivers meeting was buttoned up we had first cars out on course. First heat had nearly all of the non street classes and the Pro Pax Class. The battle for first in Pro was heated, but Spencer ultimately pulled out the 1st place finish after the 3 runs. While most Heat 1 cars with doors were trying to get down into 33s, one person managed to do a 32! Andrew cracked off a 32.5 in their EVX Tesla!!<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Heat 2 was most street classes, Novice and Nats Pax class. Novice had 15 drivers!! The top 5 drivers in Novice were up for a battle, the top 5 with in 2 seconds of each other! The Nats Pax class was a great mix of cars. Camaro, DSP RX8, FMod, GR86, and Alfa Romeo. The RX8 and GR86 couldn’t hold off the FStreet Camaro driven by Ryan. Ryan clipped off a 34.3 to seal their spot as #1 for the day.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Heats 3 and 4 went smooth with people dropping time with the warming concrete. A large majority found their times dropping in the afternoon. The course was very friendly to the corner workers with very few cone penalties. There was one person who had over 10% of total cone penalties on one run! They own a Miata with the nickname Cone Killer so it’s to be expected. <\/p>\n

Our next event is on May 18th at Hawkeye Downs! Come out and join us.<\/p>\n
