Dan Sanger Wins Pole for 2009 Kyoto 500
21st June '09
Pole Day for the 2009 Kyoto 500 was held on June 20th at the Kyoto Oval. With qualifying trying to best mimic the Indianapolis 500 format, speed and consistency was required. With over 50 drivers qualified to enter for only 30 spots in the race, the action was sure to be intense, and the spread expected to be minimum.
Early on in the session, Patric Papenfuss (karkar) of Fragmaster Racing set fastest time, which stood until about a third of the way in, when Jeff Garry (Skydiver173) set a new pole time, running four laps of 36.96 seconds each. He would stay there, despite the best efforts of fellow FM teammate Ronald Kasemier (ronaldnl), and independent Tim Vecchioni (VECCHIONI).
With fifteen minutes to go in the session, Dan Sanger (Raven88) took to the track for his second attempt of the day. After his first lap of 36.96, everyone was on pins and needles waiting to see if he could take pole. His second lap was a 36.97, which made everyone more nervous to see if he could pull speed out of the bag in the last two laps. His next lap was a 36.95, which brought him back to pole, and all he needed to get pole was a 36.96, which he did, tying him on average time with Garry, but Sanger won the tiebreaker by having the fastest lap of the two of the run.
38 drivers posted times on Saturday for the 500, with more still to come Sunday, with Bump Day. Only thirty slots are available for the race, and those thirty spots will be fought for tooth and nail. The current separation from 1st to 30th is a mere 0.0625 seconds. Pole is locked in now, but spots two through thirty are bound to change around during Bump Day on Sunday.

The 2009 NDR Easter Event
4th April '09
On 3rd April 2009, New Dimension Racing held an Easter Endurance Event. It was very similar in format to the previous Christmas and New Year events. This time, the combo was the UF1 at Fern Bay Black. 28 teams, consisting of 35 drivers in total showed up to the event, and great fun was had by all. Rudi Reinkort, of SK Racing, finished 1st, 53.09 seconds ahead of 2nd place, having lead the race from start to finish. Concept Easter Bunnies Team came 2nd, being driven for the whole 2 hours by Kevin Leu. The Concept Creme Egg team, with Justin Parker and Adam Pettigrew at the wheel finished a well deserved 3rd, 1:06.14 behind the leader.
Congratulations to all who participated.
