2010 04 24 Week 1 Route 106 Weekly Series Heat Race

For opening day at Route 106 racepark the track lined up the heat races by how you signed in at the gate. This put us in a 5th place starting position. On lap one the Barry Brothers touched going into turn 1 sending Justin around and through the infield and bringing out the first caution. Since they hadn't completed a lap they just lined them back up in qualifying order. Jack started 5th again on the inside behind Ryan and Cody. They got a great run and the three of them went to the front of the field. Coming out of turn three Justin and TJ got together, nearly sending TJ down the exit ramp and again bringing out the caution before a lap was completed. This time they lined up single file. With Jack in 5th he had his work cut out for him. Caution laps were going way too fast. As the track workers tried to slow down the field they started checking up when they saw the flagman on the track on the backstretch. This caused them to bunch up and Jack went for a spin. After the race director had a quick talk with the leader, they got them slowed down to caution speed and finally threw the green. Coming out of turn 4 on lap 2 with Jack about 2 kart lengths back, Justin looped it. The flagman saw it differently assuming that since Jack was behind Justin he must have helped him around and put Jack to the rear of the field. We're now at lap two of the heat race in single file, starting last. At about lap 6 Justin and Jack passed JP through 3 and 4. Jack then went to work on Justin trying for the 4th place spot. Jack ducked under Justin out of 4 coming to the checkers but didn't quite make it. JWR took home 5th for the heat race.
