Tillsonburg Outlaws welcome new racers for fun and exciting racing

The Indoor pits were packed as Tillsonburg Outlaws gathered to avoid the heavy rain that Southern Ontario was receiving May 11. Luckily there was room for the Outlaw Karts and their drivers. Other than the outside being cold and wet the racing was hot and dry as always.

There were some new members/racers to welcome, # 52 Jacob Sheridon, from Mt Brydges, # 0 Cole MacDonald, from Mississauga and # 37 Scott Kelly from Stratford. All three slid into action nicely and will soon be giving some of the leaders a run for their money.

Andrew Marshall, #48, from Dorchester, made his Beginner farewell race count as he took 1st in all three races for overall this week. Andrew is ready to fit into the more competitive Junior group after only two nights in his new kart. Running second in each race was rookie Jacob
Sheridon who used his debut to get comfortable quickly and run some great laps while under constant pressure from Scott Hall, #55, from Wilsonville who finished third on the night.

The JR. class had some new heat moving into it, over the winter and they were female. The first sprint the girls took 1-2-3 as Amber Meyer, #93, from Tillsonburg grabbed her first win followed by Alex Hill, #77, from Wilsonville and Hannah Ferrell, #8 from Windham Center. Not to be outdone, last years champ DJ McRae, #20, from London took the final race win which ensured he got a top three for night. The racing in this class is so intense that when the leaders of the 10 lap sprint caught up to a lapper at the finish line no one backed down and the resulting chaos left DJ McRae on his lid and Alex Hill out for the night after testing our new exit wall. Three JR races and with three different winners. I think every racer in this group is going to end up with a win at some point this season. The class is that close.

Conor Mahoney, #5, from Hamilton got his first overall of the season, in the SR division, as he narrowly beat out Cody Coburn, #19 from Mt Brydges in points this week. Bea Courtnage, #79 from Harley took a win and a second which was enough to tie for third with Dustin Churcher, #9 from Tillsonburg. It looks as though it is no longer possible to go from the back of the field for a win in the 10 lap sprint which means next week will likely see some new names listed in the top three. Race wins went to Bea Courtnage, Conor Mahoney, Cody Coburn

Scott Chesterman, #34, from Langton took the time trial win, in the expert division with a eight second lap. In the feature Holly Porter, #1, looked to have the 30 lap main in the bag when she pulled over with a derailed chain resulting from a loose motor. Porter tightened her own engine so no one else to blame. That left Dave Chesterman, #7 to inherit second for the race and
the night.

After two weeks of racing the battles are already starting to shape up. Stay tuned to see who comes out on top next week.
