It was an excellent day of racing today. The turnout was pretty good considering it was HALLOWEEN.
There were 9 entries in both the 1/8 scale and Monster Truck classes. Cash prizes were big indeed.
In Monster Truck Ronny lead the way thru all 3 qualifiers taking the TQ and starting 1st for the main. Roger, Dean, Mark, Mike M, Mitra M,Mike K, Shane and Hugh rounded out the rest of the field. Ronny lead the way for the first 5-6 minutes till some carpet took him out. Roger took over the lead and never looked back. For the next 12 minutes it was Mike M and Shane in 2nd and 3rd. Ronny re-entered the race after losing 4 laps with the carpet situation. He fought back and ended up finishing in 2nd place as Mike M flamed out and Shane broke with a cracked CB. Hugh, Dean, Mark and Mike K did not start as they all had either mechanical or broken parts. All in all it was some good Monster Truck action.
In the 1/8 scale race it was Richard taking TQ Mike K, Philip, Paulo, Ben, Colin, Seb, Adam and Bruce rounding out the top 9. It was a good 20 minute race that saw Philip and Mike K duking it out for first place. Finally Philip prevailed with some nice driving and managed to pull away from Mike K as they both got tangled up in some traffic. Philip then managed to put a lap on Mike K and kept the lead right to the end. Mike K fnishing a strong second.
Hope to see everyone out again in full force for another great day of racing if the weather hold up.
Following are the standings for the Series Title after todays results.
