Round 11 at Richmond

Round 11 - Richmond International
110 laps , Total Race time: 41:37 mins, Fastest Lap: Jafo Tendaze: 14.9 seconds
Pole Position: Sulla Looming , Most Positions gained : Suzy Cuddihy- 6
Laps Led: Sulla- 60, Jafo- 26, Nella - 11, Suzy - 11

800 Hp Indy cars on a 3/4 mile oval , stir in some smoke , spins , flying parts and tires and white knuckle racing , would be a fair description of Indycar round 11. Sulla Looming takes her 1st oval and 5th overall win, in a race that left most of the field in wreckage .

Kat Reitveld started it all off with a early retirement in deadly turn 2, while out front in lead pack. Jafo Tendaze made up for a blown qualify ( 9th of 9) making his way from rear to front of field , and soon leading the race.

Yuriko smash , Rattra crash, Razi kaboom and then finaly Jafo went down on lap 59.
The field was down to just 4 cars for nearly half the race, with only Sulla and Suzy on the lead lap . Suzy gave it her best but Sulla hung on strong . The race was unforgiving for the crashers , but wasnt extreme as far as cautions , allowing the field some open racing for long stretches.

With this win Sulla is able to extend her championship lead to 6 over Suzy and 8 over myself . With just 3 races remaining at Mid-Ohio, Homestead and Laguna Seca, Sulla seems favorite to win , but in racing anything can happen.
