Daylight Savings Time, “Spring Forward”, has finally passed so that longer days and warmer weather can begin to make its way to us. Spring is on the horizon and the racing season is swiftly approaching. However, Run It Fast members have apparently not let the snow, ice or cold weather hold them back. The Extreme Racer competition is already in full swing, only two months into the year, with many new participants joining in the fun. The rest of the year should hold some pretty impressive numbers and accomplishments.
Leading the way for the men is RIF #190 John Kent Leighton with 383.05 points. RIF #279 George Southgate takes second place with 325.4 points. RIF’s founder and RIF #1, Joshua Holmes, comes in third place with 235.4 points.
Taking first place for the women is RIF #159 Diane Bolton with 202.6 points. RIF #280 Suzanne Michelson is in second place with 117.9 points and RIF #210 Amanda Staggs takes third place with 101.3 points.
