Mark Samuelson and X Factory win at Thunder Alley

 

This past weekend, April 13-14, Thunder Alley Raceway, Wilson, N.C., held a trophy/cash race weekend, and X-Team driver Mark Samuelson did very well indeed in mod buggy and 2WD short course. Mark TQed buggy with a time more than a lap faster than second on the grid, his prototype X – 6 Cubed turning in a 44-sec lap on the huge outdoor gas track. Thunder Alley is an made of North Carolina red clay, very loose on top for the 1/10 electric guys, and the mid-motor X Factory cars are perfectly at home there.

Samuelson ran away with the win in mod buggy, nobody even close. “All I can say is WOW on consistency with the Cubed. The car handled the bumps, big jumps, and loose conditions with ease compared to the other cars, and the Cubed is even better than the Squared.”

In short course, Mark’s beautiful (He paints his own and others’ bodies.) all carbon fiber SCX – 60CF qualified third. Mark worked his way up to second, but a next-to-last lap altercation pushed him down to fourth; he was able to re-gain third on the last lap to make the podium.

So, a great weekend for Mark Samuelson and X Factory in North Carolina!
