Qualifying — two qualifiers

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result.

Main results — every driver, every main

Each main is listed as its own race, from first. Lower mains run first and the top two bump up a main at a time, so the C feeds the B and the B feeds the A, and a driver who moved up is listed twice — in the race he won his way out of, and in the one he went on to run. Overall is where that put him across the whole class, and it sits on the higher of his two rows. Qualified is his seed across the whole class, which is what put him in the main he started — not a slot on that main’s grid. Nothing here is worth championship points: club nights are not scored.

   Brian Zimmerman

   A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.549 · 94.37% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.502 · 86.51% cons

   The second qualifier was the run that made his night: 18 laps in 5:02.009 at 94.37% consistency, two laps better than his first and only 1.222 seconds off the top seed. He turned it into 17 laps in the A, one more than anybody else got near, at a 19.023 average that was the best in the race. Teagan Cummings held the pace advantage on paper all evening; Brian Zimmerman simply kept lapping while the man in front of him could not. Second on the grid, first at the flag, and the most complete five minutes anybody put together.

   Teagan Cummings

   A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 15.301 · 92.05% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 15.484 · 53.79% cons

   Eighteen laps in 5:00.787 in the opening qualifier was the best run of the night in this class, and it came with a 15.301 that stands as the quickest lap 17.5 Expert turned all evening. The second run was steadier still at 95.16% across 15 laps, and then the A came apart: 16 laps at 53.79% consistency, a figure that describes a race spent picking the car up rather than driving it. The 15.484 he found in there was still the quickest lap of the main, so the speed never went anywhere — the clean five minutes did. Top seed to second, which stings more than a straightforward beating.

   Paul Andrade

   A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 19.046 · 88.59% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 19.617 · 88.59% cons

   Both qualifiers moved the right way, 12 laps then 14 and 80.53% up to 88.59% consistency, and third on the grid came without any argument. The main matched that 88.59% to the decimal, which made it the steadiest sheet in the race, across 13 laps at a 24.170 average. He was never going to live with the lap times at the front, but he ran his own race cleanly from green to flag and third is what it paid.

4. 4th
   Chris Gross No laps — still takes the position

   A-main P4 · qualified P4 · 0 laps

   No qualifying runs are recorded against his name at all, which put him fourth on the grid before a wheel turned, and the A came back with no laps either. That still takes fourth in the class — a driver credited with no laps keeps his finishing position, which is the rule and not a hole in the timing. Nothing on the page explains it, so the only fair thing to say is that the buggy never got its evening. He was entered and he was on the sheet, and some Saturdays that is all the night allows.

Qualified is his seed across the whole class, which is what put him in the main he started — not a slot on that main’s grid. Nothing here is worth championship points: club nights are not scored. This class shared its track session with 13.5 Expert 4wd Buggy and Mod 2wd Buggy: the timing counts one race across both fields and scores them apart, so the positions here are the ones printed in that combined race.

1. 1st
   Mathew Schroeder

   A-main P4 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 15.332 · 91.60% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 14.902 · 91.13% cons

   A 15-lap opener at a 21.150 average is nobody's plan for a Saturday, and the second qualifier rewrote the evening entirely — 18 laps in 5:15.869 at 91.60% consistency and the top seed with it. The main was the same 18 laps and nearly fourteen seconds quicker at 5:01.974, run at 91.13% consistency off a 16.559 average, with a 14.902 in there that stands as the quickest lap this class turned all night. The P4 printed beside his name is a slot in a race carrying two other classes, not a position in 17.5 Expert — in his own class he was first and nobody came close to arguing. TQ and the win, built entirely on the two runs that came after the scrappy one.

2. 2nd
   Henry Ballew

   A-main P5 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.965 · 87.74% qual cons · 14 laps · fast 18.123 · 85.37% cons

   Sixteen laps in both qualifiers, the second of them out of heat two and the tidier of the pair at 89.86% consistency — though heats are not seeded against each other, so it was the 5:09.180 from the opening run that fixed his grid slot. The main went the wrong way on him: 14 laps in 5:00.360 at 85.37% consistency, with an 18.123 quickest lap the better part of a second and a half slower than either of his heat bests and a 21.610 average to match. The P5 beside that line belongs to a race holding two other fields; in 17.5 Expert it was second, and he saw the chequer, which is more than the evening looked like giving him.

3. 3rd
   William Schroeder No laps — still takes the position

   A-main P6 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.749 · 89.61% qual cons · 0 laps

   His opening qualifier was a thoroughly solid piece of work — 17 laps in 5:10.465 at 89.61% consistency behind a 15.749 quickest lap — and it put him second on the grid, a place ahead of Henry Ballew. Nothing followed it — the second qualifier registered no laps and neither did the main. Third in 17.5 Expert is exactly what the rule awards a driver credited with no laps, a rule and not an error, and that Q1 screen is the honest account of how quick the buggy was. Everybody collects one of these eventually; his turned up early and then stayed for the evening.

Qualifying — two qualifiers

Seeding comes from the qualifying run, not from one fast lap: most laps wins, and on equal laps the quicker time wins. Every figure in a row describes that one run. Heats are not raced against each other, so a heat win is not a class result. A consistency figure needs at least four laps to mean anything, so 1 run here has none shown.

Main results — every driver, every main

Each main is listed as its own race, from first. Lower mains run first and the top two bump up a main at a time, so the C feeds the B and the B feeds the A, and a driver who moved up is listed twice — in the race he won his way out of, and in the one he went on to run. Overall is where that put him across the whole class, and it sits on the higher of his two rows.

   Dennis Keith

   A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 14.976 · 97.36% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.129 · 90.58% cons

   The second qualifier was the one to frame — 20 laps in 5:13.805 at 97.36% consistency off a 15.690 average, with a 14.976 in there that stood as the quickest lap this class turned all night. Nothing afterwards needed to be that good: the main came out at 19 laps in 5:11.327, a 16.426 average and 90.58% consistency, and it was still a clear lap more than anybody else could find. TQ and the win, with the top seed settled long before the A ever lined up. When a driver's softest column of the evening reads 90.58%, everyone else is racing for second.

2. 2nd
   Teagan Cummings

   A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.073 · 92.45% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.054 · 88.71% cons

   Two 19-lap qualifiers 1.684 seconds apart, at 93.38% and 92.45% consistency, is a tidy pair of runs by any measure and it bought the front row without any fuss. The main was a lap shorter at 18 in 4:57.504, but the 15.054 he threw down in there was the quickest single lap anybody managed in the race, the winner included. A 16.560 average and 88.71% consistency say the pace was never the problem; the lap count simply went the other way. The closest thing Dennis Keith had to company all evening.

3. 3rd
   Chris Gross

   A-main P3 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.109 · 95.00% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.013 · 85.08% cons

   An opening qualifier of 16 laps at 87.52% consistency and an 18.794 average was quietly ordinary, and then Q2 turned into a different session entirely — 18 laps in 5:11.582 at 95.00%, two laps better and steadier by seven and a half points. The main declined to follow it: 16 laps, a 19.366 average and 85.08% consistency, back to where the night had started. Third, off a Q2 sheet that said he belonged rather closer to the two in front of him.

4. 4th
   Brian Zimmerman

   A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.048 · 87.61% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 16.971 · 81.82% cons

   Seventeen laps in both qualifiers with 0.21 of a point between the consistency figures, 87.61% and 87.40%, is a man who found his level early and parked on it. The main slid off that level entirely — 15 laps, a 20.138 average and 81.82% consistency, the softest sheet of anybody in the race who put a lap on the board. A lap behind Chris Gross at the flag, with two qualifying runs that had promised a good deal steadier an afternoon than that.

5. 5th
   Paul Andrade

   A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 19.790 · 81.05% qual cons · 13 laps · fast 18.101 · 83.34% cons

   His only completed qualifying run was 11 laps in 4:27.810 at 81.05% consistency, the second registering nothing at all, and the grid slot was assembled out of it. The main was comfortably the better half of his evening: 13 laps in 5:15.261, two more than he had managed in the heat, behind an 18.101 quickest lap that took the better part of two seconds off his Q1 best of 19.790. The 24.247 average is still a long way from the front, but everything moved the right way once the racing started.

6. 6th
   Victor Burger No laps — still takes the position

   A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 26.235 · 0 laps

   Two laps and 1:06.271 in the opening qualifier was the whole of his recorded mileage for the evening, the second run and then the main both coming back blank. Sixth is what the rule awards and sixth is what he takes — no laps, no time, and nothing on the sheet that lets anyone judge the buggy. Everybody gets one of these; his arrived all at once and took the entire night with it.

   Dennis Keith

   A-main P1 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 15.470 · 91.52% qual cons · 19 laps · fast 15.002 · 88.39% cons

   Two 18-lap qualifiers, the second in 5:03.483 at 91.52% consistency, put him on the front row without ever making him look like the quickest car in the class. The main settled that argument — 19 laps in 5:10.980, one more than he had managed in either heat, off a 16.372 average and a 15.002 quickest lap that was the best this class turned all night. That is a clear lap on the top qualifier and two on the men who finished third and fourth. The win from second on the grid, and it stopped being in doubt about the time the lap counter first ticked over.

   Charlie Hicklin

   A-main P2 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 15.275 · 94.01% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 15.170 · 89.77% cons

   Sixteen laps at 84.88% in the opener gave no hint of what followed: 19 laps in 5:08.004 at 94.01% consistency in the second qualifier, the best run anybody in the class put together all evening and the top seed by a distance. The A came back a lap short of that at 18 in 5:14.619, and while a 17.306 average and 89.77% consistency are perfectly respectable numbers, they were not the 19 laps Dennis Keith found alongside him. Top of the sheet when it was being timed and second when it was being decided — the one lap he could not repeat was the one that mattered.

3. 3rd
   Chris Gross

   A-main P3 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 15.911 · 88.76% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 15.805 · 89.64% cons

   An 11-lap second qualifier left a 16-lap Q1 to set the grid from, and last of the five on the seed is not a promising way into an A main. The race was the best of his three runs by some distance — 17 laps in 5:13.313 at 89.64% consistency, with a 15.805 quickest lap that beat both of his heat bests. Two places gained, the second of them by 1.506 seconds over Josh Strumillo on the same lap, and a buggy that plainly warmed to the evening as it went along.

4. 4th
   Josh Strumillo

   A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 15.870 · 87.76% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 15.902 · 85.98% cons

   Q2 was the making of his grid slot — 17 laps in 5:02.612 at 87.76% consistency, a lap better than the opener and third on the seed. He held that lap count in the main, 17 in 5:14.819, and still lost the place to Chris Gross by 1.506 seconds, with nearly four points of consistency between the two sheets to explain where it went. The 15.902 he threw down in there was quicker than anything he found in either heat, so the pace was sitting right there to be used.

5. 5th
   Victor Burger

   A-main P5 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 16.482 · 86.46% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.414 · 85.20% cons

   The opening qualifier registered nothing at all, so the whole grid slot came out of Q2 — 17 laps in 5:18.058 at 86.46% consistency, good for fourth on the seed. The main gave him 16 laps in 5:00.361 at 85.20%, a lap adrift of the two cars that shared third and fourth between them and last of the five. Turning a blank first run into a full race is a fair afternoon's repair work, even if the result sheet hands out nothing for it.

   Robert Summers

   A-main P1 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 16.811 · 89.99% qual cons · 18 laps · fast 16.577 · 96.14% cons

   Neither qualifier said anything special — 17 laps twice, 5:10.701 and 5:17.075, third on the seed and nobody's tip for the win. The main was a different animal: 18 laps in 5:14.990 at 96.14% consistency, the steadiest run anybody in this class put together all night, with a 17.445 average the better part of a second a lap quicker than his own best heat. The 16.577 he threw down in there was the quickest lap the class turned all evening. Beaten to the top seed and still the only driver in the class to see 18 laps in any session — that is how you take a win off a TQ.

2. 2nd
   Victor Burger

   A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 17.007 · 93.70% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.744 · 89.94% cons

   The first qualifier was the good one, 17 laps in 5:10.125 at 93.70% consistency, and it stood up when Q2 came back a lap short. He held that form into the race — 17 laps in 5:21.312 at 89.94% behind a 16.744 quickest lap that only the winner beat — and came home a lap behind Robert Summers and 3.289 seconds ahead of the man who had out-qualified the pair of them. Second in class off the front row, with not one soft column on the sheet.

3. 3rd
   Brian Zimmerman

   A-main P3 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.829 · 95.83% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 17.106 · 87.25% cons

   Nobody in either heat put together a steadier run than his second qualifier — 17 laps in 5:04.627 at 95.83% consistency, better than ten seconds quicker than his own Q1 over the same distance — and the top seed came with it. The main never got near that: 17 laps again, but 5:24.601 of them, a 19.042 average and 87.25% consistency. Pole to third, 3.289 seconds behind Victor Burger and a lap behind the driver who started third. TQ is a column worth having, and on this occasion it was the only one he won.

4. 4th
   Simon Andrade

   A-main P4 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.290 · 87.60% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.845 · 92.63% cons

   Two 15-lap qualifiers 4.366 seconds apart put him fourth on the grid, and the main kept the lap count while improving everything underneath it — 15 laps in 5:06.988 at 92.63% consistency, some five points steadier than either heat, behind a 17.845 quickest lap that was the best of his three runs. Only the winner drove a steadier race than that. Fourth in class, 3.452 seconds up the road from Chris Gross with the same 15 laps on the board.

5. 5th
   Chris Gross

   A-main P5 · qualified P5 · qual best lap 17.778 · 83.32% qual cons · 15 laps · fast 17.423 · 85.74% cons

   Three 15-lap runs, the two qualifiers near enough identical at 5:18.007 and 5:18.324 — 0.317 of a second between them — and then a main quicker than both at 5:10.440 without the lap count shifting. The 85.74% consistency in there was the softest of the five drivers who reached 15 laps, and the 20.665 average tells the same story the 17.423 quickest lap does: the speed arrived, it just never arrived twice in a row. Fifth in class after five minutes of chasing Simon Andrade and finishing 3.452 seconds short of him.

6. 6th
   Sawyer Andrade

   A-main P6 · qualified P6 · qual best lap 26.241 · 86.41% qual cons · 8 laps · fast 26.193 · 74.84% cons

   The quickest lap came down every time he went out — 30.255 in the first qualifier, 26.241 in the second, 26.193 in the main — which is exactly the direction those numbers are supposed to travel. The race itself was eight laps in 5:10.938 at a 39.123 average, with the nine laps of his second qualifier standing as the high point of his night. Last of the six and a long way back, but a driver who got quicker in every session he ran has something to take home from it.

   A-main P1 · qualified P1 · qual best lap 16.679 · 92.73% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.471 · 89.84% cons

   The top seed came off the very first run of the night — 17 laps in 5:07.533 at 92.73% consistency — and given how the A turned out, it was just as well he banked it early. The main was 17 laps in 5:06.469 and 0.530 of a second of breathing room after five minutes, with Robert Summers beating him on quickest lap (16.300 against 16.471), race average (17.863 against 18.145) and consistency (92.74% against 89.84%) and still finishing behind him. TQ and the win, taken by half a second and by the correct half at that.

   A-main P2 · qualified P2 · qual best lap 16.536 · 90.03% qual cons · 17 laps · fast 16.300 · 92.74% cons

   Every column on his sheet was better than the winner's except the one that gets printed in bold: a 16.300 quickest lap that stood as the best this class turned all night, a 17.863 race average and 92.74% consistency, all of it worth 0.530 of a second less than it needed to be. Two 17-lap qualifiers had put him alongside Josh Strumillo on the grid, and the pair of them came out of the A on the same lap count with barely half a second in it. Losing while owning the better numbers is its own particular flavour of annoying, and he had a full five minutes to think about it.

   Chris Gross

   A-main P3 · qualified P4 · qual best lap 18.683 · 89.65% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 16.696 · 92.88% cons

   A blank opening qualifier followed by a four-lap second run is no way to prepare for anything, and it left him fourth on the seed with next to no read on the buggy. The main was where his evening actually happened: 16 laps in 5:00.091 at 92.88% consistency, the steadiest sheet of the five in this class, off a 16.696 quickest lap and an 18.543 average. Third in class from a driver who had turned four laps all day before the race started, which is either fine adaptability or a very quick fix in the pits.

   Chuck Burns

   A-main P4 · qualified P3 · qual best lap 17.364 · 88.13% qual cons · 16 laps · fast 17.029 · 89.91% cons

   Two 15-lap qualifiers thirteen seconds apart, 5:01.288 and 5:14.358, had him third on the seed and squarely in the argument for the places. The main found a sixteenth lap — 16 in 5:05.140 at 89.91% consistency with a 17.029 quickest lap better than either heat — and it still came out 5.049 seconds behind Chris Gross. Fourth in class on the best run of his night, in a race where all three cars ahead of him improved on their qualifying as well.

   Victor Burger No laps — still takes the position

   A-main P6 · qualified P5 · 0 laps

   Nothing in Q1, nothing in Q2 and nothing in the main — the sheet carries his name, a fifth seed off 0/0.000, and no other figure anywhere on it. He still takes his place in the class, because that is what the rule says, and the race number reading sixth is the Novice field sharing the track rather than a buggy that beat him. He did put a full 16 laps on the board in the 13.5 4wd class the same afternoon, so the day was not a write-off; this half of it simply never got going.

   Every session was better than the one before it, which is the only trend that matters when you are learning: 10 laps in 5:28.826 first time out, 10 again in the second but nearly 25 seconds quicker at 5:04.087, and then 11 laps in 5:19.448 in the A. The best lap came down every time with it — 30.370, then 23.647, then a 21.978 in the main that was the quickest lap Novice turned all night — and the average dropped from 32.883 to 30.409 to 28.770 alongside. Novice was one car deep, so nothing is credited as a win or a TQ; turning up alone tops nothing, and it does not need to. Three sessions, three steps forward, and a driver visibly quicker by the end of the evening than he was at the start of it.
