Race: Thanksgiving Throwdown Series, Round 1
Track: WCRC Raceway
Dates: November 5th, 2011
Losi’s Frank Root was on hand for the opening round of the Thanksgiving Throwdown Series Saturday at West Coast R/C Raceway (WCRC). The track had fantastic traction, and a really fun and technical layout. The entry count was very strong at just over 150 and a great day of racing was had by all.
Pro2 (Modified SC) – Frank’s Losi XXX-SCT equipped with the JConcepts SC Tires was untouchable all day. Frank would take the TQ in both rounds of qualifying, choosing Gold Bar Codes for maximum traction on the damp clay surface. Frank started on form at the sound of the tone and quickly pulled out from the field, leaving the battle for 2nd place.
After the race Frank had this to say, “When the combination of traction, speed, and wear are as good as the JConcepts Gold Bar Codes, why would I ever run a different tire indoors… The answer is that I wouldn’t!”
Frank won using the following equipment:
JCO304405 Bar Codes, Short Course Gold Compound
