Rounds 9 & 10 of the Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear – Southwest were held at Texas World Speedway (College Station, Tx) on May 29-30 on the fun and challenging 2.9 course. The event was the Lone Star Grand Prix Regional/National sanctioned by SCCA. There were 10 FM's on Saturday and 11 FM's on Sunday.

For Saturday's race, Darryl Wills qualified on the pole with Davis Parr in 2nd and Dave Zavelson in 3rd. Wills won the race with Parr in 2nd, Stuart Rettie 3rd, and Philip Miller finishing 4th.

Saturday evening, all the FM drivers were treated to a wonderful meal prepared by Linda Jackson, who is driver George Jackson's mother. Thanks goes to Linda for the great grub!

For Sunday's race, the Top 3 Qualifiers were Darryl Wills, Davis Parr, and Russ Hillenburg. Russ's kind wife just had a baby boy but allowed him to come play with us on Sunday. Congrats goes to Russ for his new little racer. The Top 3 Qualifiers finished in the same order. All of the passing was going on behind them. R. David Jones (Qualifying 6th) got off to a bad start and faded back to 9th. He methodically worked his way back up the field and finished in 5th place behind Walter Gragert who placed 4th.

The Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear – Southwest will hold its next event at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on July 23-24-25 which is a COMMA Regional/Regional. Race/Qualifying Results and Point Standings for TWS can be found on our Results & Points page.
