Retro CART League
Johnny Hamby placed his #15 car on the pole, held of a first lap charge of Rick Ravon, who got off track coming out of turn 2. Hamby dealt with the pressure of a charging David Cooke in 2nd position, but once the first half of the race had passed, he started pulling away. He parked it victory lane when it was all done and was joined by David Cooke and Rick Ravon on the podium.
With the green flag falling and an incident happening midfield before the cars came to the line, iRacing was clearly confused and handed out weird penalties left and right. Once the race got underway, there were good battles. A yellow finally bunched things up again. Cooke, Rodrigues, Ravon and Breuning battled a four-way for the top honors, but a turn two incident ended that battle with Ravon, Breuning and Rodrigues sustaining damage.
Ultimately it was David Cooke that took the checkered ahead of Robert Love and Steele Lankford, with Hamby, Ravon and Breuning failing to make it to the end…
Rick Ravon led from the pole to take yet another victory at Road America, followed by Johnny Hamby and Bill Smithem, who both have been running very strong lately. Breuning messed up in turn 1 on cold tires. Newcomer Chris Ragan started fast but blew his engine, Hamelink and Fozillo rounded out the top 5 finishers.
Rick Ravon led all the way in detroit, starting from the pole. Johnny Hamby kept the pace but lost some ground after struggling with backmarkers, whil Breuning was victim of a first lap touch with Rodrigues. Both ended their day later on in the race allowing Bill Smithem to snatch up another podium finish.
Rick Ravon started from the pole and never left the leading position, although 2nd place Breuning did get another chance after a late race caution. He couldn’t get it done. Johnny Hamby was 3rd, Bill Smithem 4th and Darryl Wineinger 5th.
