Qualifying:

Qualifying finally got underway around 10:30 St Buggy was the 2nd race on the track.  Was a little nervous to begin the day, it was to be my first race with my new Kyosho Rb5 Sp.  Track was a little slick and the Buggy still needed some work ended up 4th in my heat.  Next up was my St truck.  The track had time to dry and started to groove and the Truck was hooked up from the sound of the tone.  Finished 2nd 2 secs of Tq pace.  So after round 1 had some work to do sitting 7th in Buggy and 4 th in Truck.  With the help of Pro-Line Team mate Jason Venezia we made some adjustments and switched to a softer compound rear tire. I was  Ready for Rd 2.  First up was the Rb5 Buggy, Track was getting really good and the Buggy was even better.  Finished 3rd in my heat. Buggy felt much better but was still missing something.  It was time for truck again was on a TQ run  until the last lap I cut a pipe rolled it over and ended up 2nd.

Mains:

So after qualifying was said and done I had put my self 4th on the Grid in St Buggy and 2nd in St truck.  Made another Tire change again and small adjustments and I was ready to go.  All I could do is sit and wait for Race 15 and 17. The time finally came.

Stock Buggy:

Tracy Carver got things started with a TQ run of 11/5:28 in qualifying.   In the A, Tracy Carver had some mechanical issues which left the door open for Pro-Line’s young Tilar Pollack, Tilar qualified 4th but soon made his way to the front with another young driver Austin Venezia close behind.  Final results came down to Tilar finishing in the top spot, Austin in second and Shea Peterson rounding out the podium.  This was my first win of the series and it was an Awesome feeling. Kyosho Buggy was really good in the Main.

Next up was my St Truck sitting 2nd on the grid I felt pretty good truck was just getting better and better.

Stock Truck:

Tone sounded and into the first turn the truck felt awesome.  Lap 2 I took the lead and never looked back.  Probably my best race to date. I was able to take my second win of the day in Stock Truck.    Bruce and I had a great run in the A but I was able to hold off Bruce and win the A by a close 1.7 seconds.  Tracy Carver was able to hold onto his third qualifying position, finishing third for the day.  Best Feeling I have ever had first time winning 2 races in one event.  I was carried off the stand by Jconcepts driver Tracy Carver.

Pro-Line Teammates Leon McIntosh and Jason Venezia had great days as well.  Leon Tq’d and won Mod Truck and Jason Venezia finished 4th in the Mod Truck.

Modified Truck: Top Qualifier Leon McIntosh was untouchable in Mod Truck.  Leon had an impressive 11/5:07 qualifying run and took advantage of his pole position to win the A leading wire to wire.  The big battle was for the second spot.  JConcepts teammates JR Mitch and Daimon Borkowicz fought back and forth almost the entire race.  Daimon took the second spot towards the end of the race with JR close behind.  It wasn’t until the last turn that Daimon rolled his truck allowing JR to get by and take second with Daimon settling for third. Jason Venezia rounding out the top 4

Leon McIntosh 11 / 5:00.2
