Another Double for Fitz! Wolf Wins Too!

Another Double for Fitz! Wolf Wins Too!

Mike Fitzlaff was the dominant force in the races with wins in the F1 and LMP divisions in the It's Nacho Cheese, It's My Cheese West Bend Grand Prix presented by RacingWisconsin.com.
Where have we heard that before? I know. Last race! Fitzlaff took pole positions for both events.
Fitzlaff used the pole positions to put the the other drivers to shame as he ran away with the win in the F1 event over Everet Kamikawa, Mike Lack, John Wiedeman, Todd Wolf, and Keith Lindbeck.

Fitzlaff then converted his second consecutive pole position to win the second LMP event by another big margin over Mike Lack, John Wiedeman, Everet Kamikawa, Todd Wolf, and Keith Lindbeck. Fitzlaff now has a growing margin in the championship point standings for both divisions. 

The surprises of the night came in the GTP division.
Keith Lindbeck and Todd Wolf gave the crowd, paddock, and this writer something to talk about.
Both drivers were making just their second career start in the division. Leading off as the first driver to qualify, Lindbeck surprised everyone with a super fast lap. He downplayed his chances of retaining pole position because of the veteran drivers qualifying after him, however one by one all those drivers failed to top the time and Lindbeck had his first career pole in any division!
"Holy ....I'm not last!" was the second year drivers quote.
Lindbeck had to sit as he waited for the results of the semi-final to see whom he would race in the final to see if he could get his first career ISF win. The shot layoff may have hurt his feel for driving the ultra fast and grippy cars as he briefly led to the cheers of the crowd only to start having handling problems after the first quarter of the race. Rooting members of the paddock couldn't help as he dropped from first but did recover and gained some confidence and managed to score his first podium finish in his ISF career with a third place finish with Kamikawa fourth and Lack fifth.

While Lindbeck's race went down and up, Todd Wolf started with handling problems but found his stride after the first quarter and dispatched Kamikawa, Lindbeck, and second place finisher Wiedemann to score his first ISF win. 
"I love these cars!" screamed an excited Wolf.  
That's good. The ISF loves success for newer drivers.
Lindbeck and Wolf gave the league and fans that fun at this event.

Until next time...It's not bad being in the pits!
