Korgae Scales takes WCICS WGT championship

At the final round of the Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series (WCICS), which hosted over 1500 registrations across 8 events this season, newly crowned WGT champion Korgae Scales wasn’t racing. Instead he was at home welcoming his new son into the world. But he had so dominated the class that he had the Championship locked up before the 8th and final round. CRC sponsored Korgae won the WGT season Championship for the 3rd year in a row, becoming the first and only 3-peat champion in the modern WCICS era, moving ahead of the only other repeat champions Steve Soon and Josh Carter. Second in the WGT championship was Team Associated’s Peter Toszer, followed by privateer, WCICS President, Josh Carter. Planning is already underway for next season, which will begin in late September in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
