Drake doubles up at Thunder Alley Gas Champs


The 2013 Gas Championships were held this past weekend at Thunder Alley Raceway in Beaumont CA. The weather was perfect and Levi Jackson built another great layout.  Jimmy Babcock was the race director and kept the sold out program running smooth. 

The Gas Champs is a unique race that runs a heads up racing format for both qualifying and the finals.  Each driver had 1 round of practice on Saturday morning, followed by three rounds of qualifying and double A Mains on Sunday.  Team Losi Racing and Pro-Line were two of the major event sponsors.  Team Losi Racing provided a TLR 8ight 3.0 buggy as a raffle prize.  Pro-Line provided each participant a set of Pro-Line M3 Holeshot tires for buggy and M3 Blockade tires for truggy.
