MCT-SRL Rockford Race Recap, Oct. 20, 2009
It was a busy week for members of the Michigan Circle Track Sim-Racing League in preparation for our first Tuesday night race, at our new host site. After getting things set up, there were fifteen drivers that showed up for the 100 lap race at the Rockford Speedway, in Illinois. A number of the drivers were short track sim-racing veterans, who were participating in their first MCT-SRL event. With the combination of new drivers and a tight, quarter mile paved oval, it was sure to make for an interesting night. The practice sessions were chaotic to say the very least.

Auto City 2009 Champions
The Herald Pure Stocks took center stage on Friday, as Chad Lamson set a new track record in his Cadillac Seville with a 16.44.  Heat races went to Tony Williams and Andrew Burton.  Don Dennie took the early lead in the feature, but gave it up 5 laps later to Scott Beach.  The 25-lap race went caution free, as Lamson took over the top spot on lap 14 and led the rest of the way to sew up his second Auto City track championship.  Beach finished second followed by Charlie Thom, Craig Bastien and Gerry Persails, Jr. The fun stuff started with Lamson taking the lead in the Figure-8 on lap 9 from Williams to claim the victory.  Williams held on to second
