Paul Sinclair wins 2WD at Superbowl Shakedown

The first Superbowl Shakedown race was hosted by Redneck R/C in Baldwinsville, NY. The race saw over 200 entries and in the 2WD class it was X Factory’s Paul Sinclair who grapped the TQ spot with the only 18-lap run in qualifying. Computer problems plagued the mains, and the large entry made things run late, so the mains were cancelled and trophies awarded based on qualifying. This handed TQ Paul the win in the 40-car field.
