GRI Jr's January C4 Experience

It was January 6th, C4 race committee had planed for two races. One would be the "Bow-tie" battle and the other was an invite only race. The invite only race, is for all people that do customs. This will be explained in more detail later in the post.

For the Bow-tie battle, we had a total of 70 entrees, the most we've had in a while. Also, because we had 70 entrees, we had to do a "Race-in" to 64 cars to complete the bracket. What I mean is that we took the last person to sign up to race, which was me, and we took their cars and "raced" them in.

 We used a random number generator to pull out 6 random cars, each car would then go up against my cars to decide which was entered in the bracket. Out of all of my cars that competed in the race-in, only two stayed. Fortunately, the bracket allowed me to enter 4 of my other cars.

I won a couple in the eliminator portion of the race, but when we reached quarter finals no one could beat the blue Chevelle, Alex had brought one and someone else had brought one. My Chevy Stockar couldn't keep up. Therefore I was eliminated before the semi-finals.

In the end, another Chevy Stockar had won, another Stockar took second, and Alex's blue Chevelle took third. Next would be the custom invite-only race.

Anyone who participated in the custom race brought their cars and was able to test them, not many people had prepared for the race, I didn't prepare either... In the end we ended up rescheduling the race until next month because we didnt have enough people to run the race...

I had a great time today and i cant wait to work on my custom for the race next month, and i will be getting cars ready for the stock race as well...
