T32 RACE REPORT – CUPCAKE RACEWAY
“Lights, Laps, and Just Enough Chaos”
Lads,
Another fine evening of racing unfolded at the legendary Cupcake Raceway, with six enthusiastic participants in attendance. Rebus remains abroad in Spain, reportedly focused on sun, scenery, and a strict training regimen involving paella and sangria. He insists he’ll return race-ready… we remain cautiously optimistic.
As tradition dictates, the evening began by breaking bread — and what a spread it was. Cupcake served up a scrumpdelicious marinated chicken with roasted potatoes and Greek salad, proving once again that his hosting skills may actually surpass his driving… on certain nights.
Well fed and mildly overconfident, the group headed to the grid.
Class 1 – Classic Stock Cars (Jack Rabbit Motors)
The evening opened with the always entertaining Classic Stock Cars, where horsepower meets questionable decision-making.
When the dust settled:
Kramer – 71 laps
Ethan – 71 laps (just over 9 seconds shy)
Cupcake – 70 laps
Followed by:
Class 2 – Datsun 240Z (7.75 Bracket – Points)
The always dramatic Datsun 240Z class was up next, and as expected, it delivered tight racing, bold moves, and the occasional “what just happened?” moment.
Cupcake took control early and drove a clean race to the win:
Cupcake – 68 laps (+ Fast Lap: 7.961 in Green)
Horshack – 66 laps
Chip – 65 laps - using Cupcake's car as a loaner due to mechanical issues with his own in his first heat.
Then:
Championship Update – Datsun
No change at the top:
Class 3 – Group C (Night Race with Lights)
Then came the fan-favorite night race.
Lights off.
Track lights on.
Headlights blazing.
Depth perception… optional.
The Group C cars lit up the circuit beautifully, producing countless close duels and near-misses — some intentional, some… less so.
At the finish:
Ethan – 76 laps
Horshack – 75 laps
Cupcake – 75 laps (separated by ~3 seconds)
Followed by:
Class 4 – Front Motor Indy (7.65 Bracket – Points)
The night wrapped up with the Front Motor Indy class, and this one delivered the closest racing of the evening.
Remarkably:
No breakouts
Three drivers within ONE second
Multiple heart rates elevated
Horshack emerged victorious in a tightly contested finish:
Horshack – 70 laps
Ethan – 69 laps
Sandy – 69 laps
Cupcake – 69 laps (all within <1 second)
Then:
Championship Update – Indy
Final Thoughts
Another fantastic night of:
Thanks to everyone who came out to race, laugh, and occasionally stay on track.
Next Stop: Riverhampton in two weeks
Same drivers… slightly better driving (we hope).
