Coming up at 2PM on August 14th at Eddie's, the Mare Island 600. 600 laps on the King with 4.5 inch Flexi cars and vintage NASCAR bodies. Dust off your pig and get ready for some serious track time! Call Eddie's for details: 707.552.9085.
Maybe better than FCR racing! Expect lot's of carnage and grins.

2011 Mare Island 600 Results

Postby durl » Mon Aug 15, 2011 6:29 pm

2011 MARE ISLAND 600
Eddie's Slot Car World


CHRIS CHAKIRES WINS
Sam Rock, Tom Josephs round out the podium.


A nice field of 11 racers turned out for this race, running 4.5" Flexis with 16D motors and vintage stocker bodies. After a readjustment due to computer glitching, there began a race full of thrills, spills and chills, with lots of flying cars and surprisingly tight racing.

It is never easy to beat Chris Chakires on his home track, and this race was no exception, but Sam Rock (driving a loaner from the Randy Tragni Racing garages) and Tom Josephs were not that far behind to take second and third, respectively. They were the only three racers to actually complete 600 laps, but the next four positions were pretty tight.

Here's how they finished:

CHRIS CHAKIRES - 654 laps
SAM ROCK - 607
TOM JOSEPHS - 602
CAPTAIN ERNIE - 592
WOLF IMMEL - 589
RANDY TRAGNI - 574
DURL - 573
UNCLE GARY - 553
GARY KLOBAS - 539
ERIC - 509
FLOYD - 468


Here's a pic of the starting grid. Randy will have more to follow.

Nice looking cars. Is that a yellow GTO on red lane?

Congrats to Chris, Sam and Tom for their podium positions, and to Durl for making it to the starting grid.

Regards,
Steve Kempson, naturally ...

Yes, it is, Mr. Roonie. That is Uncle Gary's ride. And continuing left to right is Eric's nice car that looked brand new at the end of the race, somehow. Then there's Chris Chakires' slammed and aerodynamic Mercury, Gary Klobas' Challenger, the Tragni Motorsport's loaner driven by Sam Rock, Captain Ernie's beautiful Plymouth, Wolf's Torino, and Floyd's wacky Chevy, maybe?

Randy has pics of the full field and more.
