🏁 Pond View Extravaganza Spring 2026 🏁
The Pond View Extravaganza lived up to its name in every way — big racing, big personalities, and at least one big mechanical discovery that had everyone talking. Fourteen racers rolled out to take on three classes, and from the very first lap to the very last, the track was alive with competition.
🏁 Slip On
If you needed a warm-up, Slip On was anything but. Gary came out and set the tone early, grabbing the win with Hiram right behind him keeping things honest. Kyle, Randy, and Sheldon filled out the rest of the top five, and the fact that the same core group would be trading positions all day told you everything you needed to know — these guys were dead even on speed and just racing their hearts out every single time the green flew.
Gary — 82 Laps 54 Sections
Hiram — 82 Laps 28 Sections
Kyle — 79 Laps 20 Sections
Randy — 78 Laps 45 Sections
Sheldon — 76 Laps 26 Sections
🏁 Fray
Fray flipped the script at the top. Hiram came back with a statement run, navigating traffic and laying down the kind of laps that make it look easier than it is. Gary pushed hard enough to snag second, with Randy, Kyle, and Robin rounding out a top five that had absolutely nothing to give away. Clean, fast, and full of hustle from wire to wire.
Hiram — 92 Laps 20 Sections
Gary — 89 Laps 13 Sections
Randy — 88 Laps 52 Sections
Kyle — 86 Laps 13 Sections
Robin — 84 Laps 57 Sections
🏁 12v IROC Dash Inline
Equal cars, pure talent — and on this day, it was Kyle's turn to shine. He drove a clean, controlled race from start to finish to take the IROC win, with Gary right there in second and Randy hanging tough in third. Shane and Bruce rounded out the top five.
Kyle — 141 Laps 52 Sections
Gary — 141 Laps 39 Sections
Randy — 140 Laps 59 Sections
Shane — 130 Laps 22 Sections
Bruce — 127 Laps 25 Sections
Before any of that though, Randy's perfectionist eye was already at work during practice. One look at yellow and he knew something wasn't right — sure enough, no brakes. The kind of detail most people might wave off and deal with later, but not Randy. He caught it early, called it out, and made sure it got handled before it became somebody's problem on track. That's just how he operates.
Meanwhile, Lyle was out in IROC putting on a show of his own. Once he got the feel for it, he ran the wheels completely off those cars. The kind of run that makes you think he might've had a win in him with a few more laps.
🏁 What a Day
Fourteen racers. Three classes. One practice-session brake inspection and one late-charging Lyle who nearly stole the whole show. The Pond View Extravaganza delivered exactly what this community does best — honest, hard racing with a whole lot of heart behind it.
Thank you to every racer who came out, everyone who helped put it together, and Pond View for hosting a day nobody's going to forget anytime soon.
See you at the next one! 🏁
