Volker sets practice pace ahead of 20th Reedy Race

Ronald Volker set the pace in practice today ahead of the 20th running of the Reedy Race of Champions.  The defending champion set the fastest 3-consecutive laps of the Tamiya Raceway track ahead of 2015 Champion Marc Rheinard with Reedy Race first timer Bruno Coelho completing the Top 3.  While the heads up racing format means today’s time count for little, probably the biggest news from the four practice run was the low traction.  This has left drivers slightly unsure of what to expect going into the first of the 12 rounds of racing tomorrow morning.  With a newly laid top surface to contend with, clouds prevented the California sun from bringing up track temperatures with the cool conditions leaving drivers unsure of what to expect tomorrow.
