Adam Drake Sweeps JBRL Nitro Series finals

The final round of the 2011 JBRL Nitro Series was held last weekend at Hot Rod Hobbies. The event was scheduled to be run dry and blue groove, but Mother Nature had a different plan. A rain storm hit late Friday night, but the Hot Rod Hobbies crew did an amazing job to pump off the water and start racing at 10am. The JBRL series consists of eight races with five counting towards your point total over the course of eight months. In the Expert 1/8th Truck class Adam Drake had the championship wrapped up, but still competed in the final race to get more track time. Drake TQ’ed both rounds of qualifying and won the final by a large margin. Second went to Jesse Robinson and third place was Matt Schreffler. Adam Drake is the 2011 JBRL Nitro Series Champion, Cody King second, and Jesse Robinson finished third.
