ECHO Racing concludes season

ECHO Racing concluded Saturday, March 18. The races that were held that day were very intense. The Series Point was up for grabs. The better the ECHO Driver drove, the better his or her chances of placing in the overall ECHO Series standings. These winners received trophies for winning top spots in the overall ECHO Race Series. The Points in A-Class Series Champion was separated by only four points. A-Class

Second Place was separated by three points and Third Place by only two points. B-Class Series Champion was separated by one point. B-Class Second Place was separated by two points. B-Class

Third Place the ECHO Race Series had a tie. ECHO had to hold one final race to determine who was going to win Third Place in B-Class. The whole ECHO Race Series was a lot of fun this year. We had several new Drivers and a few first-time winners. First-time winners are always fun to have because of the way they react to winning a race. Some believe it was impossible to win. Some were very, and I mean very surprised with a win. In some cases, you would think they won the World Series. Here are the ECHO Race Series Standings for this year: A-Class overall Series Champion was won by Bentley. He was able to place in two races better than his rival, Kaedence who placed A-Class Second Place in overall standings. Kaedence was not disappointed by the way she had driven her car. In all honesty, she wasn’t sure she placed at all in the ECHO Race Series. I told her that coming in second place was something to proud of and there is always next year. AClass Third Place was driven by Elsie. She drove her heart out and just barely pulled out a third place win. B-Class overall ECHO Series Champion was taken by Miles, His consistency in his driving skill paidoff by one point for the little guy. BClass Second Place was won by Bristen, she came within one point of winning the overall

Championship. If she drives next year like she did this year, anything is possible. B-Class Third Place was won by Brooklyn. It took one final race to determine the BClass Series Third Place winner because of a tie. All of the ECHO Drivers received an ECHO Participation Ribbon. This is ECHO Officials way of saying, thanks to all the youth for this year.

The ECHO Race winners of the day who received Award Plaques were A-Class Bentley 1st Place, A-Class 2nd Place Bristen and 3rd Place Elsie. B-Class Miles 1st Place, BClass 2nd Place Brogyn and B-Class 3rd Place won by Reece. After the presentation of ECHO Series Trophies and Race Awards, everyone who was present was treated to a reception dinner.

The ECHO Track Officials would like to congratulate the overall ECHO Race Series Winners and the Race winners of this last Weekend Series. Remember our Motto, We Are ECHO Racing. See you next year.
