June 18, 2022 saw the 4 Stooges Team Depends at Hockenheimring Baden to do battle with 34 other teams in the second split. Wendell drove the last 2 stints and had the fastest lap on the team at 1:39.238. Over all it was a good consistent race with the team finishing in 20th position. No major repairs even though Wendell and Doug each got hit in the rear fenders. A good start to our new season of Endurance racing.
iRacing's Week 13 saw the return of the 60 plus Racing Adventures GT3 Endurance Race brought to you by the 4 Stooges Race Team. Our second season race had an increased field headed by returning champion R&R Racing - Russ Addie and Randy Shewmake. These two did it again this season with an impressive win over the new Hello Kitty team of David Sturzaker and Robert Love. The final podium spot goes to R&D Motorsports - David Riley3 and Kenneth Dummer.
Early in the race these 3 teams strung together some amazing laps that kept them close at hand until the first round of pit stops. That shook up the standings as R&R pulled out to a huge lead. As the last round of pitstops took place the teams fell into their finishing order for the last 30 minutes of the race.
Back in the field, the Old Git Team of Roberto De Filippis and Ricardo Alitta gained a position on Team Depends - Jerry Kerr and Eugene Clark when Team Depends made their last pitstop.
Team Mohr/Butler - Gene Mohr and Frank Butler finished in 6th place followed by Team Orange - JC Hay and Jeff Zappa.
We want to thank everyone who participated and hope you all had a good time. Here's to a larger field of cars for our next endurance race.
The 60+ Racing Adventures League Week 13 GT3 Endurance Race brought to the League by the Four Stooges Race Team. Everyone needs to get ready for this one - we are going to Road America for a 3 hour race with 2 man teams. A few weeks ago Eugene and Robert had a great run at the VRS race at Road America. So expectations are high for some close racing among all the league teams. The race will go from Sunset to Dark so be prepared. Invite everyone you talk to this coming week and encourage them to get their team together. More info will be available on the Forum and in Discord.
The 4 Stooges Race Team brought 2 cars to the VRS GT3 Endurance race at Road America. Team Depends with Frank Butler and Jerry Kerr and Team Black with Eugene Clark and Robert Love. Both teams chose not to Qualify but to start from the back of the field of 55 teams in this 4th split. Team Black had a great run and finished 11th while Team Depends had some issues late in the race and finished in 23rd. They were DQ'd for to many incidents after running as high as 16th. Our next race is at Australia's Winton Raceway. Can't wait for this one!!!
On April 16, 2022 - the VRS Endurance race at Barber Motorsports Park began with the Four Stooges race team fielding one car. Team Black this week had Wally, Karl, and Jerry as drivers. Jerry started us off with about 40 minutes of decent laps until a flub in turn 2 started the incidents and long pit stop of 8 minutes for repairs. Wally took over and completed his stint with zero incidents and handed the car over to Karl to take the team home to the finish. An incident in the chicane with a very slow car set Karl on his way to a 5 incident stint. This concentration on the incidents is intentional since a 12 incident race is actually one of our better team races - after all we did not have a drive through or get DQ'd. A smooth race to our 22nd place finish in a field of 50 cars.
Next race will be at Road America.
3 hours in the dark was no problem for the 4 Stooges Team Red of Karl and Doug. With only 4 incidents they tamed the course and finished in 19th place. Wally and new team member Eugene Clark brought Team Black in at 29th place. Our other new member Frank Butler teamed with JC and Jerry over on Team Depends and they finished in 32nd. Whether caused by someone else or self inflicted, there was lots of down time for repairs. Thus limiting the number of laps completed and in Jerry and Frank's case no lap times recorded. A tip of the 'ol hat to Karl for completing 13 laps with no incidents (that is until lap 14) Way to go Paaaal!
Our next challenge is Barber Motorsports Park - Good Luck Stooges!!!!
