Virginia International Raceway hosted the second round of the FRL's Winter Rivals Challenge series. Andrew Steppat set the bar early in his ZR-1 and never took his foot off the pedal, setting a 1:11.387 early on and then dropped that to a 1:11.274 by the time the board closed. Ghabe Stauffer made great strides after hitting and sitting on a 1:11.690 for most of the 2 week challenge. He made a late charge for Andrew, dropping his best time to 1:11.418. Niko Smith languished in the 1:12's for most of the 2 week session, but a late charge in his Ford Falcon netted him a 1:11.542 officially, though he did post a 1:11.29x after the leaderboard officially closed. He'll be one to challenge the top two going forward.
With just a few days to go, Ethan Maestri and Travis Billingsley started a back-and-forth swap of P3 that saw them both drop their times into the 1:11.5xx's. Seth Jensen showed late in the session, posting the sole 1:12 on the board. Joey Lamothe scores a 1:13.188 in a land barge 69' Dodge Daytona. Gabe Fast posts a final official time of 1:19.226, improving from an initial time of 1:21.188!
The festivities ended with two heats run by four participants. Technical difficulties scrubbed results from the first session, but a lively race developed in the second heat with Niko Smith taking the win over a close second by Travis Billingsley. The next track is Grand Oak Club and the board goes live on Monday, December 30th & runs until January 12th.
