Race report from JR Mitch:
Saturday morning it was up early with a nice and thoughtful, but way too early group text from super BP at 3:52am. The Unabomber joined the trip north to Ocala for the first round of the supercup. Tracked opened at 7 and I was able to get three 5 minute practice runs in before qualifiers started.
Qualifying started close to on time and racing would take some time with a total entry count at 188. First round in both classes would still be a learning experience with small, but costly mistake. Second round was a little bit better hanging with billy goat for 3/4′s of the qualifier, till I again made a costly mistake. There was a small time delay due to figuring out the new qualifying method.
Mains would be later that day starting about 8pm. 2wd mod would be my first main starting 2nd on the grid behind goat and was on pace to have a good race till I hit a blown out part of the track which doesn’t help when running slicks and it caused me to crash. This put me close to the back of the pack and I recovered to finish 6th overall. 4wd would be my best class of the weekend, not qualifying the best with a 3rd starting spot, but I was determined to show what I had after the unfortunate happening in 2wd. I was able to quickly get by 2nd on the grid, kyosho’s Ryan Eckert and it now it was off to 4wd’s TQer AE’s Daimon Borkowicz. Daimon got loose on an exit off the back 180, and I took the outside and I never looked back.
All in all a good overall day and a great turnout for race number one.
