RC Racing down at Warehouse 3

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Got in another great night of racing over at Warehouse 3 in Phoenix.  It was a packed house, and the night looked to be full of great racing.  My friends from over at Wolfpak Garage made the trek, and Dean decided to race his truck tonight in pro-lite with me.  After getting setup in the pits, I was ready for some action, and the truck was feeling great in practice.

Setup in the pits.
Pro-Lite - Round 1 Qualifier (5 min.):
The truck really felt good, at with  this new layout I managed to pull off my fastest time so far, but I still crashed more then I liked too.

Pro-Lite - Round 2 Qualifier (5 min.):

Pro-Lite - B-Main (5 min.):
With my performance in the heats, I was starting 5th out of 7 drivers in the B-Main.  The top 2 drivers would advance onto the A-Main, and my friend Dean from Wolfpak Garage was starting 2nd in this main.  With a good start I was able to hold out and start off with being in third and was able to hold onto this until about the mid-way point of the race.  I felt I was driving a good race, but about half-way through a few miss-timed crashes put me back a bit, but I managed to race my way back to a 5th place finish.  Once again I missed my 20 lap goal for the night by a narrow margin.  But my friend Dean was able to finish 2ns able got bumped into the A-Main.


B-Main:
Cory:    22 Laps - 5:12
Dean:    22 Laps - 5:15
Cody:    20 Laps - 5:06
Brian:   20 Laps - 5:15
Frank:   19 Laps - 5:09
Anthony: 18 Laps - 5:08
Jeremy:  17 Laps - 5:07
