Race Results

Day 2 started off with rain which gave us a chance to hang out in the SIRS clubhouse and leaf through old scrapbooks including pictures and postcards signed by "Chuck"....Charles Lindbergh!  Too much to discuss here, but you must read about the history there on the SIRS website.  Once the rain let up and we got back to racing, we knew we were in for a battle when both Jim and Ernie Nikodem showed up for the contest.  The battling was all about who would get the fast time award for the weekend, and it passed from T.J., to Jim, to Darwin, back to T.J., and then on to Pete Johnson who ripped out a beautiful heat while running scared from Jim who was right behind.  As the rain started to fall with just 2 heats to complete the day, Bernie bettered Pete's time by a quarter second to take fast time for the weekend.  Sunday's Results:  1st--Jim Nikodem, 2nd--Bernie Vanderleest, 3rd--T.J. Klise. 
 
The one big take-away from the weekend----if you ever get the chance to watch Darwin and T.J. race in the same heat, WATCH!
