The Race Report
The soon to be annual Nigel Shiftright Memorial Road Race is in the books. We had 13 intrepid drivers, including some guy named "Mustang" and missing some guy named Shaw who had a back problem. We will publish the total results at a later date, but be informed the fastest lap times went to Steve Espelund, Don Petrick, Bob Bredwell, and Martha Johnson in order with Steve being fastest. The only casualty was John Ulrich who received a couple of badly bruised ribs after spinning and getting collected.
There was a trend with the smaller drivers being faster while the larger persons in the group appeared to have drawn the slower cars. Then again, one driver, who is quoted anonymously, replied "I thought my kart was the slowest one out there. But in this race it is outrunning every other car on the track. Couldn't have been the driver, could it?" We are certain that this event was one of the most fun we have had in a while. It has become an annual event.
