Driemeier takes X-Factory to victory!

 

“My new X Factory SCX – 60CF carbon fiber short course was great all weekend.  I didn’t have to make a single change to the truck from the first practice pack to A – 3, just a couple of tire changes.”  That’s how Justin Driemeier described last weekend at the J Concepts race at SmacTrak in St. Louis, MO.
 
Driemeier TQed the first of four qualifying rounds on the small but technical indoor track, but bad racing luck in the next two rounds left him in a must-win situation in Sunday morning’s round 4.  Justin went out and did what had to be done, winning the last round by about 4 seconds to wrap up pole position for the 2WD Short Course A mains.
 
A-1 saw Driemeier’s SCX – 60CF take a wire-to-wire win, but in A-2 there were some “rubbin is racin” incidents that put Justin third, so it was all to play for in A – 3.  Again, Driemeier and the SCX – 60CF were up to the task, as Justin jumped out to an early lead and put it on cruise control to take the last main by almost five seconds.
 
Coupled with Mike Aliberti’s win two weeks ago at R/C Excitement, this makes two regional race wins in a row for the new X Factory truck.
 
Paul Sinclair, in his first major race driving his own SCX – 60CF, qualified 7th with the Probst Motorsports replica body SCX – 60CF.  Paul took 6th in all three mains to wind up 7th for the race.
 
Final preparations are underway to release the SCX – 60CF to hobby stores everywhere within just a few weeks.
