Race Report by Keven Herbert 

This year’s race was held at Apex RC in Murfreesboro TN. The race was 5 days long this year with practice on Wednesday and Thursday and qualifying Friday-Saturday with triple As on Sunday.

From the first pack both my touring car and 1/12 felt great and only had to fine tune from there.

In the 1/12 class I was able to top seed after practice and then went on to TQ all four rounds of qualifying over Sam Isaac and Kemp Anderson in 3rd.

In the modified class, I was able to qualify second on the grid from Sam in first and Drew Ellis in third

The main went just like qualifying in 1/12 and with 2 perfect runs in the first 2 Mains, I was able to keep Sam a few corners behind and take both tone to tone wins to take a back to back roar modified 1/12 scale title for XRAY after a perfect week end with top seed 4 TQ runs and winning the first 2 mains.

1/12 Modified Results
1. Keven Herbert – XRAY X12
2. Sam Issac
3. Kemp Anderson 

In the touring car class I was able to maintain second in the first main. In the second main, Sam had an early mistake and I was able to take the lead on lap 2 with kemp Anderson making a few charges during the race but I was able to take the win in A2. A3 saw a perfect run from both me and Sam and that is how it would finish to give me a second position overall.
