Asmer does Pro Stock/Formula double at ETS

Serpent driver Jan Asmer became the first double category race winner today when he took the overall win in both the Xray Pro Stock and Formula classes at the season opener of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in the Czech Republic.  Having already made ETS history yesterday when he TQ’d both classes, the final day of the Hrotovice event did not get off to a good start for the German but in the final round of A-Main he turned things around to win both of his A3 encounters to secure the top step on the podium.  A great start to the defense of his Formula title, the win in Pro Stock’s marks his first touring car win with him describing that race as the hardest 5-minutes he has experienced in racing.

Volker is Top Qualifier for ETS season opener

Volker is Top Qualifier for ETS season opener

Ronald Volker is Top Qualifier for the opening round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series, the German putting the top spot on the grid beyond the reach of his rivals with another TQ run in the third of the four qualifiers.  The perfect start to the defense of his 3rd consecutive ETS title, the Yokomo driver again had to work hard to put his BD7 top of the time sheets with both Alexander Hagberg and Freddy Sudhoff in the mix.  Unfortunately for Hagberg a slower car ruined his chance of forcing the overall TQ to go down to the final round of qualifying in Hrotovice. Rolling his Xray Hagberg would end up sixth with a much improved Marc Rheinard completing the Top 3 for the round.

Hébert wins at 2013 Helloween Classic

Hébert wins at 2013 Helloween Classic

The Halloween Classic has become one of the premier events of the carpet racing season. As the first event of the 2013/14 Midwest Grand Slam Series, interest in the event was at an all-time high. Hosted by the Gate and NORCAR, the event created such a buzz that it sold out two months in advance. Over 200 entries featuring 110 racers from 10 states and Canada were on hand to battle it out at the newly upgraded Gate facility. Friday was set aside for practice followed by three rounds of qualifying on Saturday. A fourth round of qualifying on Sunday morning was followed by the main events. Rocket round qualifying and single A-Main format, typical for on-road carpet racing, was once again utilised. Team Associated Reedy driver Keven Hébert was once again concentrating on the Modified TC and 1/12 Modified classes. Coming off his 1/12 Modified win at the IIC, Hébert was seeking to continue his winning streak in what is considered the F1 of electric on-road racing with his Reedy-powered 12R5.2. In complete contrast, teammate Myron Kinnard was competing in the power-limited, yet highly competitive, VTA (Vintage Trans-Am) class.
