The Installation and Awards banquet has come and gone.  This wraps up the 2008-09 racing season.  This season, Mother Nature allowed 6 out the 8 Open League races.  The NorCal Championships turned out to be one race with snow and rain canceling the infamous MacTavish race. Far West Championships were held in nice weather.  Congratulations to all the racers!  There was a lot of friendly competition among the adults. The Junior’s were great!

 

The Adult team came in 4^th in Open League, but the Junior’s came in second.  Wow!!

Winners of awards were:

 

Former Open League racers Ziggy Brien and Lisa Pabst were awarded “Race-Team Survivor Awards for their contributions to the Sno*Flake’s race team.  At least they were not voted off!

 

We had four racers bumped to higher classes – Bethany Schlosser (to Class 9); Nariah Hall (to Class 9), Preston Cooper (to Class 5, from 7…oooh!) and Ron Jorgenson (to class 7).  Congratulations!

 

A special award went to Wayne Schlosser as the Most Impressive Racer.  Wayne is our Back-up Race Director, our team coach and an Open League pace setter.

 

The season champions are the racers who compile the most points for the season.  Included are points from the Open League races, NorCals and Far West.  The racer class where the points were earned does not matter.  This award is unique to the club. 

 

Season Champion – Female Racer:  Nariah Hall, a Junior was the winner with 106 points and was mailed a very handsome plaque with the Sno*Flakes logo.  Runner-up was Bethany Schlosser with 94 points.  Congratulations, Nariah and Bethany!

 

Season Champion – Male Racer:  Ron Jorgenson was the winner with 150 points. Runner-up was Steve White with 140 points.  Golly, Steve, you should have gone to the Far West Races.  Congratulations, Ron, another great season!
