We will be taking an offweek for Rising Star, however we will not do away with its Sonoma race. The Rising Star race will move to the Sunday, June 7th, the original date for the SCARTS Reunion. I've now moved the Reunion to Wednesday, June 10th, the usual Full Throttle Cup day.
So, this Wednesday remains Sonoma for Full Throttle Cup. Lanz won this race last year during the Chase, helping him distance a hard charging Burnout climbing the Chase leaderboard. This race now is before the Chase in its familiar position midseason.
We just came off a thrilling 0.000 second finish at Bristol, which I felt broke the closest possible recordable finish in Turbo Sliders.
(My theory on what happened is that: Szymek had led the prior lap (249) and JonnO 'just' got there at the finish but the game figured JonnO did not capture the lead, thus showing Szymek retaining the lead and winning the race. The finish was SO CLOSE that the game called it 0.000 seconds, but it may have been rounded down as the game can't record a ten thousandths place time, thus calling JonnO even with Szymek. Watching the replay and zooming in, JonnO in fact beats Szymek by a mere pixel or two, claiming last week's win and setting a new closest finish record that most likely CANNOT be beat!!!!!)
Our road course race at Watkins Glen earlier this year resulted in the closest ever 'road track finish'. Can we beat that again? Can JonnO claim another win to oust Reirom from the Chase wildcard?? Find out Wednesday!
RACE #12 @ SONOMA PREVIEW
=====================
When: Wednesday, June 26th @ 20 GMT
