Turtle Trot Two for Fitzlaff 2015

Turtle Creek Raceway Park has a new home for the Turtle Trot, but it was the same result as it was all the other races this year...anothger two wins for Mike Fitzlaff as he again swept the F1 and LMP races. He set new track records and dominated both events that again it wasn't even close. He did make some season history by picking up his first penalty in F1. Even dominate racers have a chink in their armor sometimes.

Nick Bartolone made his first appearance of 2015. He won a F1 heat race to advance to the final where he finished fourth. Previously he sold his inventory of cars because his career is part-time and it would be easier to rent rides than maintain a stable of cars. Everet Kamikawa finshed second in F1 and John Wiedemann finsihed second in LMP to deny the championships to Fitzlaff for at least one more race. Mike Lack had the worst finish of his F1 career with a ninth. Bill Black took his first career heat win with a victory in the LMP division. Mike Kristof was competitive in his third start of the season. Keith Lindbeck had the lead in two races before falling back. Pete Dorn continued getting better as the rookies continued their impressive forms.

The next ISF event is the St. Francis/Maxim Grand Prix at Southshore Speedway.
Until then...it's not bad being in the pits!
