ECHORR Challenge 2018 Results

The ECHORR Challenge 2018, held in Kutztown, PA, attracted 11 teams and 63 raceers from around the country.  Once again, the IROC format proved to be the ticket and was a lot of fun for all involved, with many close races and many surprise heat winners.  Four teams battled it out for the championship throughout the day, defending champs Zoomin, DCM, 515, and Victory Tires.  After the dust settled DCM, returning to the Challenge after a four year absence, took down the defending champs Zoomin in a well fought battle.  Congrats to DCM for going 10 - 0.

 Team DCM

1st place ECHORR Challenge 2018

Friday practice was light and the IROC cars were set up to match the tables.  Thanks to Dan Wirfel, Randy J. Haydt, and Ron Schrader for allowing us to use their tracks at the Challenge.  Special thanks to the set up and break down crew!

Saturday, after a brief driver's meeting and a tribute to the late Pat Dube, the team racing commenced.  There were some computer glitches but, overall the event fared well.  Again, Team DCM went undefeated and the rest of the result follow in this report.  As usual, the food catered by Spuds was awesome and plentiful.  Thanks to Jody Williams and Kim Vanbuskirk for handling that part of the event.  Saturday afternoon/evening was the start of the individual events, Nostalgia and Indy Class champions for 2018 were crowned.  Congrats to Jerry Boswell (Mr.I am not a threat) for winning the Indy Class and Randy J Haydt for winning the Nostalgia Class.  Sunday was ECHORR SS day.  2 minute qualifiers to seed the top 16 in the sweet 16 bracket format and the remainder of the racers went on to race the consi IROC on the Red Maxx track with Jerry Boswell's lowered Suburbans.  Congrats to Joel Lux on winning the SS Championship and Greg Wisniewski for winning the Consi IROC.

Sunday evening was highlighted by the after party at Randy's which turned out to be IROC t-jet heaven as there were tons of IROC sets to play with and plenty of adult beverages.

Race results follow.  I just want to thank all that makes this event a success every year.  ECHORR is dead!  I don't think so, lol!  Keep up with our website and see future plans for next year's Challenge and the club races in general including new tracks and revised race formats including "Bag Of Parts" races and Enduro races.  Happy holidays to all and follow us at www.echorr.com
