Russell Walker Sweeps Rounds 5&6 of Southwest Formula Mazda Series


Rounds 5 & 6 of the SWFM Series were held at TWS on May 28-29 at the Lone Star Region SCCA Aggienapolis 500 Regional/National On Saturday, Russell Walker qualified on the pole with Michael Tari and JW Roberts in 2nd and 3rd. Walker and Tari comfortably held their positions to the end. The real battle was for 3rd. JW Roberts, who started in 3rd held that position for most of the race. However, unbeknownst to him, a dogfight was going on behind him. Dave Zavelson, Frank Tomlinson, and Steve Hickham Sr were swapping positions repeatedly. The momentum of their battle caught them up with Roberts by Lap 13 in the 17 Lap Race. With a little drafting coming into the picture, Hickham and Tomlinson both got by Roberts. Hickham, who started in last place due to a tire change, was now up to 3rd. (SCCA requires FM's to qualify and race on the same set of tires) Unfortunately, Hickham missed a shift on the last lap and Tomlinson triumphed into 3rd position. Hickham finished 4th and Roberts 5th. On Sunday, Russell Walker qualified on the pole with Michael Tari and Dave Zavelson in 2nd and 3rd. Tomlinson got around Zavelson at the start, but Zavelson recaptured his position a couple of laps later and set his sights on Tari. He passed Tari on Lap 10 of the 25 lap race. Tari regained his position on Lap 19. Walker won the race with Tari in 2nd and Zavelson in 3rd. JW Roberts is still in the lead for Rookie of the Year with Dave Zavelson only 3 points away. The new leader for Masters Champion is Robert Baker. Rounds 7 & 8 of the SWFM Series will be at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on July 23-24.
