With just one race to go in the 2009 OTHG Scalextric Trans-Am Championship, Daniel Snipes completes his three race minimum with a second place finish and vaults into third place overall. Michael Smalley continues to lead followed by Terry De Los Santos in second. I am bumped to my usual fourth place behind the dynamic trio. Chris Chan and Eddie Shorer are now tied for fifth. Stan Smith drops from fourth all the way to ninth. Thomas Lauffenberger and Christophe Deluy fill seventh and eighth. Stephen Farr-Jones drops from seventh to tenth. Fifth to ninth are covered by just 4/10ths of a point.
The final race Trans-Am race of 2009 will be held at Nigelstone on Nov. 7. Be there to see how this one ends.

The recent team race at Chris Chan's did not have a large affect on the 2009 OTHG Trans-Am Championship for most drivers, but there were some apparent beneficiaries. The trio of Michael Smalley, Terry De Los Santos and Craig Williamson are well in front in the first three spots. Stan Smith's berth on a winning team did a lot to keep him in fourth. Eddie Shorer also benefited, jumping to fifth, and positioning him to challenge Stan for fourth. Chris Chan slide from fifth to sixth, despite a second place finish. Fourth through tenth is still wide open, and the final two races should be important to many of the contenders. Daniel Snipes, in ninth, is not out of this either; with two third-place finishes he still needs one race to enter adjusted scoring.

The first OTHG Scalextric Trans-Am Series race saw Chris Radisich flying in to secure second place in the championship behind Michael Smalley. The cars were a perfect fit for my US-themed Silverlake Speedway road circuit and they looked great setting into the fast-entry corners. Terry De Los Santos was third and Chris Chan used Michael's custom-built AAR Cuda to good effect to take fourth. I made a bad car choice in falling for the Parnelli Jones Mustang over my trusty black Camaro on White and came fifth. Eddie Shorer followed in his bitchin' black Camaro to sixth. With weight added, these cars are a load of fun to drive, and watch.
