Season VI is under way and the competition has
come out swinging. The
DOW gang (Pennsylvania) have rejoined the fray and are crowding into
the top ten along with the DC crew (Virginia). We really need to be on
our A-game more than ever.
We fared much better in the new F1 Class filling out much of the
top ten. Congrats to Hood on his 2nd Place finish with only his first
run in his new car.

In Formula 1 the DC club (Virginia) are dominant in with the most drivers in the top ten, but Mini-AZ is right behind and DOW (Pennsylvania) nipping at our heels. However in overall points Mini-AZ has the most drivers in the top ten by a thin margin.
Racer Class is proving tougher for us to crack this season. There's a mix of clubs dominating the top ten. Ann Arbor Dojo (Michigan), DC (Virginia), and DOW (Pennsylvania) are slugging it out in the top ten, with Mini-AZ only eeking out a few spots. Though Brad is still capturing 1st Place.
Five clubs occupy the top ten in overall points, with DC (Virginia) narrowly taking the most.
Racing across the board was close, will every one of the Mini-AZ drivers scoring on the same lap as one or more others. Joe missed out on one spot by only 0.01sec, and one more spot by only 0.04sec!
Spikey Paul joined us this round and he's speeding up fast. Look for him at the top of the charts in the coming months! We had a big turnout for Races #5 and #6 with fantastically matched Heats. So I look forward to seeing how all those hard fought positions match up world wide. We'll find out in October, and I hope to see you all on the 11th for Race #8 and #9.

We had 12 people score points in the Racer Class, which is a record turnout for Mini-AZ. The competition is really tough all around, and we were spread out across the entire field this time in both classes. Formula 1 saw some fantastic close racing within our club itself though. Check out those margins on the scoreboard below. Our local F1 series is going to be great this year with so many closely matched cars and drivers.
Race #7 and #8 have been moved to October 18th to better fit everyone's schedules. See the home page for details. See you all there.

We're in the home stretch with these penultimate races, and we had some great results. Congratulations to Joe, Hood, and Paul on capturing 1st Place in Racer and Formula 1! We had solid placement in the Top Ten and swept the podium in both F1's. Well done. Brad had an off day with persistent car trouble, but still pulled out a victory and maintains the point lead heading toward a fourth straight championship title.
We've already run the final races for November, so all we can do now is wait for the final results to be tabulated and released in December. Good luck everyone. The competition was extra tough this season, but I think we're going to place well.
