Panther Tires wins at the 2013 Matt Gerald Benefit race!

Black-Diamond-Plate-Panther-logo

This past weekend Revolution Raceway in Appleton, WI hosted a benefit race for one of our local racers, Matt Gerald. Matt was severely injured (broke his back) while racing his off-road buggy at the Red Bud MX track. Being a long time racer at the track, Revolution hosted a benefit to help him with his recovery.

There were three full heats of 4×4 SCT which included Matt Gerald himself! The top three guys were the same all day long. Panther Tires Jason Pietsch ended up qualifying 2nd going into the A-main.

A-Main:

Pietsch  started 2nd to Warren Young one of the area’s most consistent racers. Pietsch was able to take the lead on the first lap when Warren made a mistake and flipped over. Due to the pack of trucks behind them, Pietsch used the opportunity to put some space between Young and himself. Pietsch had established a pretty decent lead by the time, catching up to back markers and started just pacing them to try and not get taken out. Pietsch had nearly lapped Young at this point and chose to play it safe and dial it back a bit. During the final minutes of the race, the race director had announced that Matt Gerald was closing the gap quickly, so I decided to start pushing forward. Finishing with a 21/5:10, which was the only 21 lap 4×4 SCT run of the day.

2wd SC was filled with more Panther Tires. Dewayne Sturgeon would fight back from some early racing contact back up to his qualifying position of 2nd, where’d he finish. Sturgeon chose Switch Sc 2.0s in clay stuffed with F800 SC closed cell foams mounted to DE Racing Borrego wheels.

1/10th Worlds Warm-Up to be held at SDRC Raceway June 6-9

silverdollarrclogo_badge

1/10-scale off-road racers will have their first crack at the new soil used for A Main Hobbies’ Silver Dollar RC Raceway at the upcoming World’s Warm-Up Race June 6th-9th. World-renowned track builder Joey Christensen will be constructing the layout for the race, which is sure to be challenging with several exciting features. Top pros and aspiring privateers will want to make sure they book their travel arrangements for this race, as it will be one of the few 1/10-scale races held at Silver Dollar RC Raceway before the coveted World Championships.

Wheel time will be crucial for racers who plan to compete in the IFMAR World Championships in September; the SDRCR drivers’ stand is massive and the dirt used is completely different than the high-bite clay previously seen at SDRCR. Without any prior 1/10-scale races at SDRCR, the set-up knowledge gained during the Warm-Up Race will be invaluable come late September, when the world’s fastest converge for the most prestigious prize in our sport.
