Numedahl wins Pizza Feast race

This past weekend was the 15th Annual Pizza Feast race held at MHOR R/C Raceway in Denver, Colorado. This race is a special event that is specific to short course. In order to qualify for the win, you must run stock and modified short course and the scores from each class are combined. Everything went well from the start as Kody TQ’d both classes which gave him a jump on the field to start the main events. Stock was up first and a small bobble on lap one dropped Kody back to 5th but with some patients he got back to the lead before it was over. Modified went a little smoother having learned a bit from the stock main. Kody led all of the laps and took the win in modified and the overall win at the race.

RC-Carpet Fun and Fun Cup Austria got together to hold the first ever Short Course Race in Austria last weekend. The venue was the new indoor off road track at RC-Carpet Fun situated in an old warehouse near Vienna. Racing was held to the usual single racing day Fun Cup rules, only one heat to sort drivers into the finals and after a short break to get some good food and nice drinks at the buffet, three finals for all. The tight track saw lap times between 26 and 29 seconds apart from one driver, Hupo Honigl who was joining the race and dominated all three finals driving a Traxxas Slash 2WD/Protoform SC Truck. His best lap time was 22.99 and therefore considerably quicker than second placed Peter Wirthners best lap of 25,88 driving an Associated SC10. Third place overall went to Georg Sandhofer with his Losi Strike. After the race Hupo revealed his ‘secret’ that he was using Protoform tires similar to Schumacher Minipins, the best tire to use for carpet racing at the RC-Carpet fun track. The next indoor off road race will be held at the same venue on the 30th January, 2011, more details can be found here.
