Maifield Changing Tires - Last Minute Decision that Proved Right!

Well the best news to report for me is Maifield has TQ’ed.   Round 3 of truggy turned into a night round and we mounted a fresh set of Blue Cross Hairs.  The track was cold and Maifield was looking to lock it up.  Jon trashed in the pits and mounted the blues and put them on the truck.

They brought the truck up to tech and Mans started warming it up in the pre-race area.  I noticed he was changing tires and was putting back on the yellows.   I asked what’s up and he says the track still has lots of traction and yellows will be the ticket.

I went to the top of the steps and watched the race with Lance Norick.  This has to be one of the best races / qualifying that i’ve ever seen.  I’m not so sure anyone really had any major crashes.  Maifield just pushed it so hard it was amazing and continued to pour it on.  12 lap pace once again.  Adam Drake who was also running JConcepts Crosshairs was in 2nd.  Pretty dialed!

Maifield made a small mistake but didn’t cost him much time. Still remained in the lead with about 2 minutes to go.  Drake and Tebo battled for 2nd and wheeler was pulling in for a look.

Finishing the race was Maifield with the 12 lapper and the only driver to turn 12 laps all weekend and he has done it twice!

Maifield is the ROAR nationals TQ with JConcepts and Associated.
