Root Wins at Charity Event for Susan G. Komen Foundation

Team Losi Racing and Losi's Frank Root attended the Inaugural Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this past Saturday at SDRC Raceway. The track had great grip, and a fun, technical layout. The entry count was very strong at 123 and a great day of racing was had by all. In addition to the racing, there was a fantastic raffle, activities for kids, and a bake sale for additional donations. 100% of the race entries went directly to the Susan G. Komen foundation, an amazing total of $7,200!!



2wd Modified Buggy – Frank had a great day with his TLR 22. He was able to win each round of qualifying to taking the overall TQ, lowering the quick lap on the layout by several tenths. With a clean start in the main event, Frank would put in a very fast and clean run and would eventually lap the field to claim a dominating win.
Pro-2 (Modified SC) - Frank's Losi XXX-SCT equipped with the TLR Tuned Kit and JConcepts Gold Bar Codes was on point again in qualifying. Frank would run the fastest time in each of the three rounds of qualifying, taking the TQ! The single 5-minute main started with a brief challenge from 2nd place, but Frank would soon pull away leaving the rest of the field to battle for 2nd place. Just like buggy, Frank would eventually lap the field and cruise home to a dominating win!
