Young Vuko showed tremendous speed in the race to just beat his dad. The father & son combination hoping for podium places.
Just waiting for Muz to post his times then I'll post the results. Thanks Vuko for the excellent coverage of the practice session. :up:
Just checked Muz's profile and it appears he hasn't been on since Jan 19th. I have sent him a PM but I have a feeling he might be away. :(
OK bored of waiting so here's the race report.
Race Report:
Some bad news before this round. Jon Brown's funding had run out and is unable to continue in the series. This is a real shame and yet another example of talent wasted due to lack of money. :(
Peter Vuko's son Steven has joined the series today, it is unone whenever he will run the rest of the series but rumour has it he's even faster than his father.
So 12 cars line up today, slight improvement on the last round. Pole, Adam Sloma lines up on his second pole postion in two races with a time of 39.44 with Steven Vuko alongside. Next is Peter Vuko and Muz then BobZee, Johnny Shell, RaikkonenRules, Real Illusions, Neil Adams, Alfa Fan, Foxystoat and Craig Nayler brings up the rear.
And it's go, disaster for our championship leader, Muz he has stalled on the grid. Steven Vuko has taken the lead from Sloma with Peter Vuko just behind, RaikkonenRules has lept up to fourth with BobZee and Shell just behind. Real Illusions and Adams are next followed by Foxystoat, Alfa Fan and Nayler. Muz has manged to rejoin but three corners later he pulls off onto the side of the track. A frustrating day for the series leader.
Lap 3 and Vuko Snr. passes Sloma for 2nd. Vuko Jr. has been unable to build up a lead and his father, Sloma, RR and BobZee are stuck to him like bogeys.
Lap 4 RR passes Sloma for 3rd, the Pole slightly struggling in the early stages. A lap later Vuko Snr. passes his son for the lead not before pushing him onto the grass. Steven drops to 5th but imediately repasses BobZee.
Lap 7 The leading group have caught the tailenders. Unfortunately Peter Vuko gets blocked by the dicing Alfa Fan, Craig Nayler and Foxystoat and is passed by RR, the young Brit noe enjoying his first laps in the lead.
Lap 9 Sloma passes Vuko Snr. for second. Vuko Jr. runs in fourth. BobZee has slightly dropped off from the leading group.
Lap 14 Steven Vuko passes his father for third place. Sloma is stuck to the back of RR as they catch more backmarkers. Neil Adams is waiting for the leaders to go past but unfortunately gets stuck between RR and Sloma, Sloma is now alongside RR on the outside. RR shoves Sloma onto the grass but Sloma somehow keeps control and passes RR on the grass! :eek: What phenominal talent this guy is.
Final Lap Sloma hasn't managed to drop RR or Steven Vuko but Vuko Snr. has dropped slightly back. the leaders come across thev finish line and it's Sloma who takes the win in only his second ever race. RR finshes second with a very respectable drive just ahead of Vuko Jr. Vuko Snr. is fourth just a couple of seconds back with BobZee not too far behind. Johnny Shell is the only other car on the lead lap in 6th.

Well I'm pround to say I've managed to beat both Vuko's on home turf. Congrats to Sloma for his first win :up:
Muz now only has a 5 point lead over Peter Vuko and Sloma. I'm just 8 points off in 4th. :D
wow. what a race!!!!
glad I've finished on the lead lap every race so far. I'll keep that as my goal for this series :D
congradulations on the great run kimi fan (I can't ever remember how to spell Kimi's last name, that's why I always call you that) but anyway great run.
let's hope Muz gets his issues sorted out.
and what about those newcomers Adam and Vuko jr????? wow
oh yeah and you got me listed as england but I'm USA. your run should put england into second in the nations cup with the US holding onto third hopefully.
