JBRL Electric series Rd5 – Report

The popular JBRL Electric series visited West Coast RC Raceway for Round #5. The track layout made for some exciting racing and it was another successful event with over 200 entries. Kyosho/Pro-Line driver Cody King took the win in the 1/8th Electric Buggy class and Pro-Line team mate Nick Blais drove an awesome race to finish in 2nd and make it 1-2 for Pro-Line team drivers. The podium was rounded out by Scott Wolf. The Pro-Line Team also swept the Mod 2WD Short Course podium with Nick Blais winning the main running Pro-Line’s own Pro-2 conversion truck. The runner-up spot went to Adam Gragg with Matt Gilbert completing the podium. In Modified Truck Nolan Anderson went on to win the class with his Team Associated T4.2 with Kevin Motter and Doug Nielsen in tow.

Super Stock SC saw Matt Gilbert and Adam Gragg going 1-2, Chad Nelson finished third on the podium. In Stock Buggy Mike Fisk put himself on top of the podium followed by Keven Kasten and Jon Whitaker. The competitive 2WD Mod Buggy class saw Kody Numedahl taking the win from Cody Turner and Jimmy Barnett. The heart-breaker race to watch was Super Stock buggy. Pro-Line’s Nick Wautlet was TQ and easily looked to be the fastest car, unfortunately, Nick made a mistake early in the race and the turn marshal accidentally ripped his body off as he tried to flip the car over. This put Nick last and way behind with no shot at the win. This made way for Tyler Hocks who finished first with Wayne Wyrick and Chris Moore in tow. The next stop of the JBRL will be the new indoor facility in Bakersfield – Rainman’s Hobby & Raceway.
