8/30/2020 – Another Twin 25s Night! 15-Karts & Won by Nicolas Olivares and Chris Stevens [+YouTube]!

20200830_225955-WINNORZ
Sunday, August 30th, 2020 – Nicolas Olivares took the lead on the 1st lap of the 1st 14-kart 25-lapper and led the entire race relatively unchallenged for his 2nd career regular feature win at Galletta’s (he also won the makeup point heat race). Chris Stevens then boarded the rocketship #4 and blew away the field in the 2nd 25-lapper (making it 2 for 2 since the engine was rebuilt after a blown rod it suffered during the 2019 Klassic).

Monday, August 31st, 2020 – I’d like to apologize for not having any video or victory pictures up after our race, but we started late, it got out late and I (web admin/racer/video producer/point adder Chris Stevens) have work the next day (and usually why this time of year, I prefer racing Fridays or Saturdays so I can stay up a little later working on them). I’ll be finding time during the week to upload them ASAP!
Sunday, September 6th, 2020 – UPDATE: It took until just before race time, but the videos and race victory photo are done!

NOTE: * = Due to my (statician/webmaster/racer/video producer) return to work in late-August, I an unable to give full makeup race points and give heat points instead. It usually isn’t as much points, but I just don’t have the time to research and add up points like I do when I have most of the summer off from work and don’t mind spending the extra time doing so. In fact, we usually stop doing them entirely this time of year, BUT since there were so many newbies and returning rookies, a heat race was held, so I’ll go ahead and score it as quickly as I can. – Chris
