We had another great turnout at the only indoor RC dirt oval track in Oregon.
We had a new driver come up from Central Point to race with us. Jeff Samuelson raced the Losi Spec Sprint Class he improved steadily throughout the day and was able to finish fourth in the second event. Great job Jeff.
Super Stock Slash did their 100 lap Main events. There was some breakage and some miscalculations on battery capacity. In the end Daniel Sebenick took the win with P2/P1 finishes. Eric Kolari got second by going P1/P3 and Justin Barron stayed consistent to pick up third by taking to P4 finishes.
Street Stock was won by Dave Wooden on the tiebreaker with Top Qualifier Russ Wools. In A1 Wools rolled his car on lap two and had to work through the field to make the pass on Dave Wooden on the last lap. In A2 Wooden and Wools battled the entire race. Wooden’s time of 5:10.928 was four seconds faster than Wools’ time in A1 giving him the win. Will Moorhead rounded out the podium with two P3 finishes.

There was a great battle between Blankenship and Wools for second midrace before Wools broke free and tried to run down Cooley. On lap 38 Wools in the back straight wall and flipped end over end for nearly 4 seconds, handing over an surmountable lead to Cooley and second place to Blankenship.
