Caruso’s Caper – PPIR
Saturday Apr 17th 2010 started of with some light rain, well more of a mist but enough to make the track wet. The track was slippery in practice but that helped to know where to be more cautious on track. There was a close call as a Miata spun in front of Matthew Wolfe but no contact was made.
The qualifying was a qualifying race and grid position was first come firs serve. Matthew made it to the grid second in class. When the green flag dropped Matthew got a good jump and moved into the early lead. He was able to hold this position and pull a comfortable gap to 2nd, giving him the win and poll position for the points race.
In the race Matthew again pulled out to an early lead and remained consistent to take the win.
Sunday Apr 18th 2010 was a much dryer day. The track was still damp in the morning but the grip quickly came. The qualifying grid this time was based on the finish from Saturdays race. Matthew was able to pull a good lead at the start and was able to stay there for the win, putting him on pole for the race.
When the green flag dropped for the race Clay Turner and Pat Holmes stepped up their game and fell in line right behind Matthew. They were nipping at his heels and keeping him honest for the first half of the race. When the pack got caught up in some lap traffic Clay and Pat started dicing for position which allowed Matthew to pull a more comfortable lead. Matthew was able to win his 4th race of the weekend.
