After a few hours of wrangling with updates, mismatches, etc... all drivers got ready to tackle the new version of Daytona. John Stanley took an impressive pole for this 65 lap feature. We had a decent setup giving you the possibilities of running high or low lines. Tire wear was not an issue. The officials called a mystery caution for debris on lap 30 and the whole field got together again. With 35 laps to go everybody decided to turn up the wick and most of the fastest laps were run in the second half of the race. Steve Young ran up front for quite some time but with two to go we had a caution resetting all clocks to zero. The two final GWC laps were something out of Days of Thunder. On the back stretch it could have been anybody's race. Floyd Broadley was able to clear Pete for the win by a mere thousands of a second. A great race by all participants. After the race, there were rumors that Floyd had been picked up by the Police for running in his birthday suit around the house screaming: I won! I won! To be followed as all of the racers present declined to pay his bail. 

 Early Bird Series 4 Standings

Andy Graydon took his 3rd consecutive victory at Berlin, a track that seems to suit his style perfectly. 2 Cautions enabled his closest challenger to get two 'Lucky Dogs', but the margin of victory was just under 2 laps come race end.

The Shark Energy Drink car driven by Paul Sanders took the lead on lap 61 and never looked back. Two late cautions gave Yates,Partridge, and Cobb an opportunity, but those three would finish second, third, and fourth. The battle for fifth went to Steve Young by a nose after being side-by-side for the last two laps. Kenney, Broadley,Patrick Rawicz, and Starks rounded out the top ten in our third race using fixed setups with in-race adjustments. Dover was a great opportunity to tweak the setup to suit the driver. Next week we move to Salem where the spring rubbers will be flying.

 Winter Cup Standings

The first race of our short 8 race winter season was won by Rob Partridge on a GWC beating out Pole Sitter Brandon Mayes whom had fresh tires to Rob's old tires. It was a small field and only a few cautions but everyone was fast and tight and it was anyone's race till the checkers fell. Next week we will continue on to Darlington.
