This past weekend saw many of the top gas racers from around the US descend on the Ft. Myers track for the 5th round of the Florida state Series. This race is seen as a warm up for the Winter Nats with track time used to prepare for this annual international event. Qualifying saw Kyosho racer Robert Maestrey take the TQ spot ahead of Serpent racer Gianni Giorgio in 2nd, while the Xray of Mark Harrison was 3rd just ahead of DJ Apolaro in 4th. At the start of the main final DJ was able to slot into 2nd and then 2 laps later he could take the lead, which is where he stayed for the rest of the race to take the win.
