drivers entered the Lexan bodied G-Jet race on the Lady Gray track and only one driver would blast out 225 laps to take home the checkered flag in the Pro Division race. John Reimels’ 225 laps were 8 better than second place finisher John Stezelecki who just managed to beat out Eric Eckhardt by one lap for second place in the Pro division – Stez scoring 217 laps to Eric’s 216 laps. Nantasket Beach Race Club member Paul Ryer took the 4th place finish with 231 laps. Reimels, Stez and Ryer all are NBRC members and they clearly took advantage of their local knowledge of the track by taking three out of the four top spots.

Congratulations to John Reimels for a fantastic victory.
In the Amateur Division Chris Takas sailed into Nantasket Beach to take a very impressive victory. We don’t see Chris often but when he does attend, he’s a real competitor and difficult to beat. Chris banged out the victory with 200 laps compared to second place finisher Peter Lentros who managed 195 laps. Oh Jimmy Colligan took the third position with 191.12 laps to take a squeaker over fourth finisher Benny Leyro 191.06 by just six sections. Benny took the four hour drive from Yonkers NY to make this event. Congratulations to Chris and to all participants for a great race.
