Speedzone USA Race Report:

The third round of the Midwest Grand Slam took place last weekend in Indianapolis, IN. Speedzone driver Dave Johnson was in attendance hoping to clinch the overall 12th scale 17.5 Title and pad his points lead in Touring 17.5. In Saturday qualifying Johnson set the TQ pace for 1/12 17.5 in round one. His Speedzone packs would power him to reset TQ in rounds 2, 3 and 4. Starting from the point, Johnson would lead wire to wire taking the A-Main victory in 1/12 17.5. This also clinched the 12th Scale 17.5 Midwest Grand Slam Title for Dave and Speedzone.

In touring 17.5, Johnson drove his Speedzone powered sedan to the TQ spot in round one. He would reset TQ in rounds 2 and 3 by 5 seconds over the field. Dave was confident going into the main and would run fast laps taking down the A-Main victory with a 10 second margin. After the main, Dave commented about his power saying "Speedzone Batteries were simply phenomenal! Untouchable power for the whole six minutes."

A great performance again from Johnson and his Speedzone powered machines! Next stop is Detroit, MI for the final round of the Grand Slam.
