Myron Kinnard TQs & wins at Bash at the Beach

The 2018 Bash at the Beach DAV charity event was hosted by 386 RC Raceway inside the Sunshine mall in Daytona. By far the largest class of the weekend was USVTA with some of the top Florida and Carolina VTA drivers being on hand including a ROAR VTA Champ as well. Myron Kinnard would overall TQ the class by winning the last chance qualifier with a 99 percent consistency and a 28-lapper to line up in 1st for the 8-minute A-main. Sitting in the TQ spot all Myron had to do was make it into turn 1 and 2. With eight long minutes anything can happen, but with a positive mind and steady hand Kinnard was able to go tone to tone, and take home the TQ and Championship.
