12 October 2009 MILE HIGH MADNESS by Cecil Morris On August 15 and 16, RMR hosted the 17th annual First Ever Anywhere PCA Club Race at its new home at High Plains Raceway. The Club Race, combined with a super DE, was a great success, thanks to the efforts of local Club Racers, sponsors, and volunteers. The new track drew racers from far and wide, including a number of GT3’s from Utah and as a new addition several spec Boxsters from Texas, but local drivers dominated the standings. In Race Group One, Dan Allen of Prilika Racing took pole position after qualifying with a record time of 1:50.696 and then took first place in both Sprint Race One and Two. In Sprint Race One, Les Long took second, and Dave Banazek took third. Rounding out the top ten in Group One in Sprint Race One (from fourth to tenth) were James Young, Donald Mayer, Robert Prilika, Bruce Busby, Michael Hemmingway, Robert Ames, and Jerry Schouten. As honorable mention, Alex Sabados of Frenetic Racing took eleventh. In Sprint Race Two for Race Group One, Dave Banazek took second, James Young took third, and Bill Petty took fourth. In Race Group Two, James Buckley, Bryan Henderson, and Michael Quigley took first, second, and third, respectively, in both Sprint Race One and Two. The remaining standings in Sprint Race One for Race Group Two (from fourth to tenth) were Christopher Camut, Robert Jones, Rocky Johnson, Brian St. Denis, David Speights, Alan Struthers, and Bruce Waddle. Further, in Sprint Race Two for Race Group Two, Bob Polich took fourth, and Philip Lahaye took ninth. The Enduro Race was a grand spectacle, with more than 50 drivers from both Race Groups pouring around Turn 1 and into Turn 2 in a roaring rolling start. Dan Allen of Prilika Racing and Les Long of Air Power Racing in Salt Like City battled for first throughout the race. Les had the best lap time at 1:52.601, but Dan took first, completing a trifecta for the weekend. Rounding out the top ten in the Enduro were: Donald Mayer, James Young, Roberto Albarran, Robert Prilika, Bruce Busby, Robert Ames, Mark Brouse, and Michael Hemmingway. For complete results, go to www.mylaps.com. Several members of RMR and AMR joined the ranks of Club Racers as rookies, including Phil Rader, Travis Tiller, Bruce Waddle, and (go girl!) Jamey Wening. The PCA Rookie Award went to Bruce Waddle. Congratulations to all! The Super DE was limited to more experienced drivers, and that lead to some good seat time despite some occasional action on the track. There were a few spins (none mine, thank you) and a red flag to test everyone’s understanding of flag protocol, but no incidents, and a good time was had by all.
