Round one of the FRL Winter Rivals series has concluded. Ghabe Stauffer posts the top time of the leaderboard with a blistering 42.641 seconds, manhandling all 17.3 ft. of his 69' Dodge Charger, like a boss. Andrew Steppat makes a late showing, but secured P2 with an equally impressive 42.808 in a 69' Chevy Camaro. Niko Smith rounds out the podium, taking his 73' Holden across the line in 43.021 seconds.
The bulk of the field toiled in the 43's along with him. Positions 4-8 were only separated by 0.378 seconds! The two week challenge period was finished with a meet-up at the selected track, Maple Valley Short, for some 6-12 lap shootouts. Ghabe continued his domination of the field by winning all three heats. Seth Jensen was able to capitalize on some small mistakes by Ethan Maestri, taking his 73' Pontiac across the line in P2 in the main heat of 12 laps. The final heat of the night featured a barn-burner of a duel between Seth and Travis Billingsley, both crossing the line with less than .020 between them, Seth getting the better of Travis at the line.
The Challenge series moves on this week to Virginia International Raceway - South. This event will conclude on December 29th, another concluding meet-up is being planned to close-out this event as well. Points have been awarded and shown on the table below.
