what ever happened to Doug....?


Dave #1 Doug Fan

I don't know... He showed up a couple of times, I think he's even raced once or twice on the 1/24 track in its new location, but he hasn't been around much. I think his life got in the way of his slot car racing. Such a tragedy when that happens.

I should go through your list and pick a new Driver to stalk.. i mean cheer for....

Gt 40 Series 11-21-08:

1: Derwood 80 laps
2: J.P. 76 laps
3: Ashley 75 laps
4: Tom S. 72 laps
5: Jaime 60 laps



Points Standings:
1: Derwood 339 points
2: Tom S. 282 points
3: Ashley 261 Points
4: J.P 235 Points
5: Racer X 176 Points
6: Jaime S 157 Points
7: Erik S 69 Points
8: Mark 55 Points

Once again Derwood drove a flawless race to take a well deserve first place.
J.P. finally got his car handling to turn in a solid second place, just beating Ashley for the position after a hard fought race. Tom S. was having problems focusing after having a medical preceedure earlier in the day.
Jaime was having handling problems caused by a lose Traction Magnet.

The points gap between Derwood and Tom widened after this race due to Derwood Dring an almost perfect race. He hasn't made any mistakes the whole Series, where everyone else has had at least one bad race.

CHEERS!
Tom
