Clark wins at Eastern States Indoor On-Road Champs

The 2016 Eastern States Indoor On-Road Championship was recently held at RC Car World in Willingboro, New Jersey, attracting over 90 entries. Races were held for a variety of classes including Vintage, 17.5 Touring, USGT, F1 Rubber, F1 Foam, Mini, and 1/12, with 17.5 Touring being the most popular. The story of the weekend was the dominant performance of Patrick Clark (Team Associated) in this respective class. With a first round TQ run of 35 6:00 five racers were within a few seconds of the TQ lap pace. In round two several drivers began to close the gap and apply pressure on Pat. Come round 3 and Pat erased all doubt of who would end the day holding TQ, with his most dominate run of the event of a 37 6:09. Patrick was the only driver of the event to break into the 37 lap mark. With his strangle hold on TQ attention shifted to the remaining nine spots in the A-main. When the dust had settled only eight seconds separated the remaining top 8 drivers. The grid was for an exciting A-main and as expected, Pat’s dominance continued as he took a tone to tone victory from Quin Moon (VBC) in second and Courtney Townend (Xray) in third.
