A little cooler today for race 2 of 2 with SCCA Cal Club. Pole sitter was late to the starting grid and had to start from the back of the field.
Green flag was orderly as everyone made it through the first few turns unscathed. William Rasmussen took advantage of being on point and promptly began gapping the pack. P2, 3 and 4 were nose to tail but couldn't make any headway to reel in William.
The original post sitter, Tyler Vance, who had to start from the rear, taking advantage of his new tires, had caught up to and easily disposed of the front pack. And before you knew it, Tyler had caught up to William as well and made his way through to point relatively unchallenged.
At the same time, Evan Jacobs who also had to start from the rear of the field because he did not have a qualifying time, had caught up to and made his way to the point of the chase pack. But that was all he could do as both Tyler and William were way down the range already.
That was how the rest of the race mostly proceeded without any particular drama. The race finished more or less in that scenario with Tyler taking 1st William in 2nd and Evans in 3rd while Clement finished in the same position he started the race in 5th.
We'll be back at Buttonwillow Raceway Park again in May.
