Double win for the Team Losi Racing 8IGHT 3.0 at GRRS round 5
Round 5 of the Grass Roots Racing Series headed to the
amazing Pro-Line Racing test track. The turnout was great with 14
heats. The track at Pro-Line had a fresh layout built by Levi Jackson of
Sik Track Designs the week before and no one got on the track for practice
until Saturday morning. In the expert 1/8th buggy class, Adam
Drake took the overall TQ honors by 5 seconds with his Nova Rossi powered Team
Losi Racing 8ight 3.0 equipped with Pro-Line X3 Blockade tires.
Cody King qualified second and Matt Schreffler lined up third for the 20 minute
final. In the final, Drake and King had a close battle until just before
the midway point where King ran out of fuel. Drake then stretched his
lead to over a lap to take the victory! In the final Drake used
Pro-Line’s X3 Bowtie 2.0. In the 40+ class, TLR’s Don Vinkemulder took
the win with his Orion powered 8ight 3.0 and Pro-Line M2 Blockade tires.
