Over the Hills and Far Away

It's hard to argue who the king of the road courses is in the International Sim Drivers Club right now. Stephen Laarkamp has lead every lap in our two road rounds. Laarkamp cruised to victory after an early race incident involving the next four cars extended his lead to over twenty seconds, and he never looked back. Joe Burchett finished second, narrowly holding off Chris Gutierrez. Alex Boffoli and Markus Gjesdal rounded out the top 5. Laarkamp jumped Gutierrez in points, and enters Gateway with a 7 point lead. Stephen Taylor holds third but falls back to 56 points behind Laarkamp.  Attrition proved to be the key to the race. Nine cars finished, with only three finishing within one lap of Stephen Laarkamp. Honda extends it's points lead in the Manufacturers standings to 34 points, while Ford Performance Racing holds a 124 point over new second place runner Black Hole Motorsports. Next week the series heads to the mile and a quarter Gateway International Raceway for 125 laps.
