Race Report- Season 4 Round 10 at Detroit

After a long hiatus of race reports , im gonna be getting back in the habit for the end of the Indycar season. Much of this season the top of the ranks has been occupied by Suzy Cuddihy, from rounds 1 to 8 her consistency kept her in the lead while many others struggled to adapt to the indycars , which have proven to be fun to drive but prone to disasters.

Round 9 at Watkins Glen was a flawless win by Sulla Looming to overtake Suzy in the points race, after coming up short a few rounds lately Suzy finds her in a hole in 2nd place with hopes of getting back on top by the final round .

Round 10 - Detroit Belle Island
28 laps, Total race time: 35 mins 13 seconds, Fastest Lap: Sulla looming- 1:11.397
Pole Position: Sulla Looming , Laps led: Crippy Oh -21, Jafo Tendaze- 7
Positions Gained- Crippy Oh- 3, Nella Bocarra- 3

8 drivers showed for one of the more technical road tracks of the season , walled and winding ...

Belle Island can be a difficult track to survive at times. Although Sulla landed on pole , Jafo got the crucial jump into the lead at the start , at a track like this with little room for passing.. this move alone could potentialy win the race.

Sulla in 2nd and myself in 3rd , untill i took a risky pass on Sulla , just barely getting in front , with Sulla showing some mercy and not spinning me im sure. We chased Jafo who was looking good up front so far , untill the end of lap 8 when he came around too hard and spun into the wall. I moved into the lead with Sulla beginning to put heavy pressure on me probing for a pass.

Sulla struck a wall and lost her wing ending a bid for the win , continuing for a little bit , i feel Sulla displayed sportsmanship by pitting and repairing what was bad damage, even though off pace, Sulla coulda continued unrealisticly and prolly ended up 2nd .

With mishaps for Jafo and Sulla , Yuriko held on steady and captured 2nd , with Suzy landing in 3rd and gaining important championship points on Sulla. Sulla got 4th and Nella ran great to get 5th , gaining 3 places on her 8th position start . After round 10, Sulla maintains 1st place by 4 points, with Suzy and myself tied for 2nd.

With 4 more races to go its looking like another tight ending. Next race is on the small 3/4 mile oval at Richmond. Will be posting short Round 10 highlight reel here in next few days.
