Team Losi Racing's Mike Garrison wins Missouri State Championship Rd.2

*Event: Missouri State RC Pro Series Rd.2*
*Date: July 6-7*
*Track: Novelty R/C Raceway, Novelty, MO*

Round #2 of the Missouri State RC Pro Series Championship made it's way to Novelty, MO this past weekend. Conditions were extremely hot with temperatures reaching as high as 105 degrees outside. The Novelty R/C crew did a fantastic job keeping the track in good shape and keeping the racers watered down throughout the weekend. Team Losi Racing /Horizon Hobby team driver, Mike Garrison, attended the race with his 8IGHT 2.0. Although taking TQ in qualifying Round 2, a DNF in Round 1 and a 3rd in Round 3 would put Garrison starting 4th on the grid.

After a long battle in the main, it would be Mike Garrison to take the win.

The Novelty R/C crew and State Pro Series director, Rex Franke, did a fantastic job putting on the event. Round 3 heads to St. Louis, Missouri at Dirtburner's on August 3-4.

A special thanks from Mike goes out to Team Losi Racing/Horizon Hobby, his sponsors and his pit guy/dad Greg "Homer" Garrison

Team Losi Racing and Losi’s Frank Root was on hand at the 3rd round of the 2012 JBRL (Jimmy Babcock Racing League) Saturday at Rainman’s Hobby Shop & Raceway in Bakersfield, CA.  The track had fantastic traction and a very fast layout.  The entry count was very strong at 235, especially strong for the Bakersfield Round of the series which is traditionally the smallest.

2wd Modified Buggy – There were 2x 12 car heats of modified buggy and the qualifying action was intense.  After narrowly missing the TQ in round 1, Frank would charge back hard in the round 2 with a fast, clean run to take a strong TQ by 5 seconds.  When the tone went off, Root jumped out to a quick start to gap the field.  About 2 minutes in, Frank had a slight interaction with traffic,  and surrendered the lead.  Frank quickly got back on the wheel, and retook the lead with a clean pass over the backside double the very next lap.  After regaining the lead with his Team Losi Racing 22, Frank pull out to a comfortable lead and make it by for his the extra lap to cruise home for the win.  Frank’s TLR 22 was hooked up all day, and proved it by taking the dominant TQ and Win!

Pro2 (Modified SC) – Frank’s Losi XXX-SCT equipped with the  Team Losi Racing Tuning Kit was untouchable all day.  Frank would take the TQ in both rounds of qualifying, earning the overall TQ by 13 seconds!  Frank started on form at the sound of the tone and quickly pulled out from the field,  leaving everyone else to battle for 2nd place.  The day belonged to Frank and his XXX-SCT with a statement TQ and Win!
