2013 Grass Roots Racing Series Rd5 – Report
For round 5 of the 2013 Grass Roots Racing Series Rob Jackson and Crew took over the Pro-Line Racing test track for the weekend and invited racers from all over to attend. For those of you not familiar with the Grass Roots Series it’s a 6 round series based out of Southern California that travels through three of the best outdoor tracks in the area. The event is held over a two day period focusing one day on nitro 1/8th scale while the other day is devoted to 1/10th scale electric short course and 1/8th scale electric Buggy. For this time around the nitro crew would kick things off on Saturday while the electric rigs would wrap things up on Sunday. This turned out to be a great thing as the bigger heavier 4WD cars would sweep a fresh layout that had just been built by Sik Track Designs the week before and had not had a chance to be run in yet. The track that was build was of the highest quality and was fairly straight forward yet challenging at the same time. There were a couple large doubles, a fast sweeper, rhythm sections, as well as one of the best whoop sections built to date in RC. It was really neat to see a track designer do such a great job accommodating multiple classes and being able to please them all.
