the outside row got the jump. While Smith did get back to the lead, Connell kept the pressure on, coming just .07s seconds short of the win at the line. Heat two saw Smith cross the line with a little more advantage, but this was only after Connell ‘bicycled’ coming out of Long Beach, forcing him to lose touch with a few laps to go. In the Main it was again Smith and Connell leading the way, then Connell keeping the pressure on well past the halfway mark. Shortly after clocking the fastest lap of the race, a small bobble in the Silk corner allowed a tiny advantage for Smith, one he was able to hold on to until the end. Connell settled for second but showed that the gap to the point leader was now all but gone. Elsewhere in the class, the fight for third in the championship grew even closer with Lukas Dziemidok scoring his second podium in a row in the class, while Jose da Silva bounced back to claim fourth, with Sean Bradley coming across 5th. After the results, there are just 4 points separating three drivers in the battle for third, with just three events remaining… 206 MASTERS TOP 5 POINTS (AFTER DROP): 1) Mike Smith 1998 (1615) 2) Mark Connell 1830 (1506) 3) Lukas Dziemidok 1721 (1391) 4) Steve Jasinski 1697 (1391) 5) Sean Bradley 1686 (1387) CSK Racing would like to again thank all of their customers for coming out to round #5 for the 2018 Tri-C Karters season, and we’re looking forward to round #6 on the Classico configuration on September 1st.
