Kent Owens Mid-Ohio Update.  #1 As Always

Photo from NASA Great Lakes. It was a wild and wacky weekend for the CMC gang at Mid-Ohio this last weekend. Traditionally, the late season Mid-O race draws a big turnout as it is a tune up for upcoming national races in September. This year was no exception, with both race groups being sold out, and drivers actually showing up to get on a waiting list Friday evening. This lead to some very intense racing, and, unfortunately, a bit more contact than we normally see on a NASA race weekend. Fortunately for me, I was able to get a (quite...

Mr. Owens Show Up To Race... And This Is What Happened....

Yes thereis…. getting into a car to duke it out with a dozen “CMC Crazies” is way better than justbeing there, and this last weekend at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet IL just proved thepoint. It helps when you get a sweep, and seeing the new ‘kids’ bring down their laptimes and race the heck out of us old dogs was just icing on the cake. The high point ofthe weekend was the race 1 battle with CMC legend Bob Denton in the...

Who Can Stop Kent Owens in NASA CMC!?

    27 June 2016 After a short break, the NASA Great Lakes region kicked off the ‘summer season’ June 25-26 at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven Michigan.

2nd Win For Kent Owens at NASA Great Lakes Region CMC Class!

April 11, 2016 Photo credit Redline Photo @ redlinephoto.comThe second race weekend for the NASA Great Lakes region was a crossover event with NASA Central at Gateway Motorsports Park just across the river from St. Louis. The CMC field managed to find paddock space together in spite of the crowded conditions and some of us getting to the track a bit later on Friday. Through a combination of events (I’d like to think superior equipment and highly tuned skills……☺), the #30 managed to sweep all three races. The real story is that while the equipment may have been superior (thanks NEO Motorsports...

Back2Back Win at NASA Great Lakes Races Season Opener!

For immediate release—22 March, 2016by: Kent Owens It was a great opening weekend for the 2016 NASA Great Lakes season at NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green Kentucky.  Many of the race groups had full fields, including the CMC gang, and everyone was anxious to get the first laps of the season under their belts.  The #30 CMC Trans Am managed to squeak out two wins, and I mean squeak, as in CMC the top three were bumper to door for the entire weekend with the winning margin less than 1 second in both races.  Bob Denton in the #67...
