Round 1 Summary:

With a lot of hype from the finale of the 2009 season, a lot newcomers came to Buttonwillow for a good start in the hunt for championship points. One of the newcomers includes Alex Cao who each received a very respectable 1st place in his series debut in Street class. This definitely puts the defending champion, Roger Lee, at odds with his 4th place finish. In the meanwhile, the current champion for the Modified class, Leonard Patterson, is no where to be found as newcomer Christopher Huang took 1st place also in his debut.

In contrast, Unlimited class had the usual suspects appear to face off for the debut round, but with the champion, Andrew Kidd was also nowhere to be found. That left Gordon Jennings and Sonny Watanasirisuk to do battle, with Gordon easily taking an important first win for his bid to be the fastest Miata driver in MC.

 

Sonny,
What's this "second place" crap? you're starting to slack off...when are you going to stop racing your street car, and start racing your track car?

:P

 

When I actually have a track car to drive. :P

Don't worry, I'm working on it. BTW, I'm still on my first and only engine for MC, unlike my rivals. Hell, I almost won MC last year because of my consistancy (tied for 1st overall in Unlimited with Savington, but he won the tiebreaker because he had more wins in the season).

 

lol, i'm working on my street car too, maybe i can get it running like your msm, might have to bring it back out to LA

as you can see, i'm working on making the improvements you mentioned
