With 4 races in the books and one to go, no champions can be crowned at this point in time. All 5 classes are still up for grabs. For those of you with two or more races in the books, the race at CEFX can make it or break it for your final points ranking.

Important dates to remember are:
February 25th, race #5 at CEFX Raceway in Westland, MI
March 11th, fun run (trophy and prize presentations) at the track with the largest attendance. So far, Larry's has the lead with 56 entries. The first two at Halo were both larger, but since Halo is now closed, we default to Larry's. If CEFX draws more than 56, then we'll be heading back there on 3/11.

My following posts will spell out some of the battles to watch for in each class. The columns are in this order:
Rank / Name / Halo / Halo 2 / Larry's / Ft. W. / 2 drop total / 1 drop total
Ranked by 2 drop total. Rich has these for the website onroadracing.com/crl

Touring Stock
It's a three horse race for first between Keith Bilanti, Eli and Chuck lonergan. Everyone else is racing for second. There are a number of racers who can move up and steal 2nd from Chuck and Eli, especially if Eli's touring stock luck continues.

Five car battle for #1, separated by only 3 points. Sorry to Josh, Bobby and Dan Miles - you can only move up to 5th, even with a TQ and the win at CEFX. Oh, and Greg Anthony is currenty sitting 5th. I guess you could say that I just put a target on the toolbox?

This has been all Eli, but Andy Power can win by getting the TQ and win at CEFX. If Eli TQ's, its over. Seven of us are racing for 2nd place with a points spread of only 5 points. I just happen to be at the back of that line, trying to get to second. Look out for the green snowplow.

It's the Jeff Switzer and David Lee show. The only way David can win is to get the TQ and the A-main win. That will put him in a points tie with Jeff. It will force us to go to their back up (best 3 of 5), their 4th best score. David has the better backup and would win the championship by 1 point over Jeff.

Anyone know where Gene is from? I lost contact with someone with the same name a while back.

Gene has been around the hobby for quite some time. Last I knew he was from the Kalamazoo area. He worked for Fantom in the past, winding motors. He was pitted with Chuck Lonergan, but I didn't get a chance to talk with him about the old days or what he's doing now.

I am available to run anyones spare car to "team" drive to help them in points or hinder others. Highest bider wins.

I may have to take you up on that... i dont think i can make it to the next round... youll have to show Chuck how fragile his RDX can be... and ELI... well.. youll have to brake check him when he comes around to lap you ;)

How about you TQ and win and make it easier so I can finish 2nd.

Thats a tall order... :freak:

How can Andy get the win? We tie, I think, then it goes to the next round, right? A TQ and win will give him 101 points, that means his total is 300.?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????

Website has been updated with the standings.

Bummed I couldn't make this race!
-Rich

Eli, you get 2 pts for TQ.... He'd total out at 301

Eli, you get 2 pts for TQ.... He'd total out at 301

Yep. Like Greg said. We count the best 3 of 5. If Eli doesn't better one of his current top 3, and Andy gets the TQ and the win, Eli will drop to #2. And we will then all call him that - #2.

There is another way for Eli to win if Andy does get the TQ. Eli needs to place 1st or 2nd, which would give him 100 for first or 99 for second and beat his current first race 98 points.

Just TQ and win................. yeah.....no pressure :rolleyes:

Yes and thank god I have a permanent pit spot! It helps out when racing and practicing gets too tight to find a spot.

I had the Chris Farley "In A van, down by the river" as a location for a long time and most didn't get it.

I had to put that up in a location. It seems fitting doesn't it. I think Joe Reilly has us all beat though.

I thought Marcus Malone won the competition at 1.2 miles away?

No. I heard that Joe Reilly purchased a pit spot at CEFX and then literally moved into it. I hear he's been hiding at closing time and sleeping in Josh's office after he locks up. Just something that I heard. All that 2 a.m. practice for Joe should put him in the "A" at the next CRL.

i have been looking it over.. and i just dont see how I could place lower than 3rd.. and thats if Eli and chuck both finish 1-2 ahead of me.. 3rd... i didnt break the pencil out or anything.. but yah..

am i missing somthing?

Keith,

Now why are you worrying about 3rd....you are gonna show up, TQ, win...it is all very simple....just ask Andy.

And you are right if Rob TQed and won he would have 1 less point then you still.

Brian

and thats a BIG if Chuck and ELI both finish 1-2...

Im guessing the turnout will be quite big for the 25th... Rick M and Mazzo will both be competetive... as well as many others running stock im sure...

So.. i will see if i can make it.. but it isnt looking good.

Keef

Keith B. - You can only fall to 3rd if Chuck and Eli show up. If Chuck doesn't show, he'll drop to the bottom because he only has one race in. If Eli doesn't do well, you get first and the others in 4th, 5th and 6th can move up to pass Eli.

Zack H. - I fixed the points error for your touring stock class. You move from 25th to 17th.

Thanks alot keith. you guys put on a great show. i enjoy it alot.

It seems that out new Region 5 director is even meantioning non-Roar sanctioned series now-a-days....

Wow! That's pretty cool. I'll have to drop Rob an email and say thanks.

Hamilton sure has been quiet lately, I bet he's tired from having to take the bus into downtown and then walk 20 blocks to get to work with all of downtown shut down.

I'm just resting up for all of the Superbowl parties. Look for me Friday night on Jimmy Kimmel on WXYZ at 11:30 pm. Plus, we'll be rocking the Sports Illustrated swimsuit party on Saturday. Then, cap that off with a pre-Superbowl party and tickets to the game on Sunday. OH, and for James' sake, hangin with Alissa Milano on Friday night at the TLC, Miami Inc party. I'll say hi for you Jim.

So you had to get "justified" to break it up?

This is your new Region 5 director. Since I mentioned the CRL, perhaps I'll also mention the Region 5 carpet race at Intense Raceway Park in IL. March 25-26. More info soon
