Adam Drake double win at Grass Roots Rd6

Round 6 of the Grass Root series was held last weekend at the Proline facility in Beaumont, CA. The event had a great attendance and may top drivers present including Adam Drake, Cody King, Dustin Evans, Colby Poh, Drew Moller and Matt Schreffler. The gates opened bright and early at 6:00am with an hour and a half of controlled practice for the competitors. In buggy, Cody King TQ’d round one followed by Adam Drake but in round two Drake improved his time and took the overall TQ. In the 20 minute final Drake was able to control the race from start to finish, but there was a good battle for second and third between Evans and King. King had a problem leaving the pits and this opened the door for Colby Poh. In the end it was a TLR sweep of the podium with Drake taking the win, followed by Evans and Poh.
