Juan C Rodriguez wins in Puerto Rico

The second round of the Puerto Rican electric touring series took place at the PitLane RC track. The traction was high all day and the layout very fast with many hairpin turns which meant speed and acceleration would play an integral part in the car’s setup. Juan C Rodriguez was able to TQ the first of two qualifiers in the Boosted 10.5T class ahead of Xray team mate Jose Colon. In the first A main Juan had to retire early due to a broken sensor cable but the following finals saw him pull away from Jose handing Juan the win with Jose Colon in second and Jose Cruz in third place.

DJ Apolaro wins Sedan at 2013 Winternats

Beside the 1/8th scale classes the recent Winternats in Florida also saw the running of the 1/10th 200mm sedan class. The qualifying saw Ralph Burch take TQ from DJ Apolaro and Mike Swauger. At the beginning of the A main Ralph was able to pull away with DJ Apolaro in tow. The latter was running on relatively hard tires, meaning a slower pace for the Capricorn driver but DJ’s plan was to push in the final minutes of the race. Some minutes into the final Ralph made a small mistake and this allowed DJ to pass. He could then hold the lead while Ralph started to really push his car. It looked like it was going to come down to either Ralph or DJ and with Ralph eventually making another mistake DJ was able to drive an error free race for the entire 45 minutes with Xray’s Ralph Burch would end up having a problem towards the end of the race and this allowed DJ to back off and just cruise to the end and take the win in the Sedan class.

Hart & Trinder win Essex Winter Series Rd5

The penultimate round of the Essex Winter Series took place this weekend.

The Superstock class once again saw a number of top UK National drivers competing, along with three drivers making the journey from Ireland to race. The high level of competition meant five close rounds of qualifying, highlighting the fact that the EWS is now considered the UK’s premier indoor on-road championship.
