Florida State Series Highlights Round 3
Wed Sep 19, 2007 9:48PM
Round 3 of the RC Pro Florida Nitro Off-road Series was held at Mills Pond
in FT Lauderdale this month. This is the 1st year of the Nitro Only series
in FL, and round 3 was the largest turnout thus far with 95 entries. The
track was an all new layout, 20 feet longer with all new clay for the big
race. All of the pros from Florida were there to compete for the cash payout
that the RC Pro Series brings to the races.
The Machine's R/C Hobbies 1/8 Expert Buggy:
In 1/8 Buggy, it was again Sean Kersten taking TQ honors after the 3 rounds
of qualifying were over, followed by myself in 2nd, and Jeff Keeton in 3rd.
Kersten won round 1 and round 2, so he was on hand to cash in and secure his
lead in the series. The main event was 30 minutes long under the lights on
Saturday night. Kersten took the early lead as Keeton and myself got
together at the start. 12 year old local, J.P. Tirronen, moved into 2nd and
set his sights on the lead. At about the half way mark, Tirronen took over
the lead from Kersten and never looked back. I managed to work my way up
from last to take over 2nd, but was unable to catch the youngster in the
lead. Mister Saturday Night, J.P. Tirronen, went on to take the win,
followed by myself in 2nd, while Michael Delay took over 3rd from Kersten, 1
lap back.
Carolina's R/C 1/8 Arena Truck
In 1/8 Arena Truck, it was all Sean Kersten again. Kersten won round #2 and
took the overall TQ for round #3. 2nd was Tony Pattishall and 3rd was Jeff
Keeton. In the 20 minute A-main, the 3 pulled away from the pack and had a
great battle for the whole race. Kersten eventually pulled away for a half a
lap lead over Pattishall and Keeton. Near the end, Keeton passed Pattishall
for 2nd place and that was how they finished, all on the same lap. Keeton
won round #1, while Pattishall TQ'd round #2, so the 3 are sure to battle
for the championship at the Finals next month at B&B Raceway.
Pro-line Sportsman 1/8 Buggy
In the sportsman class, Armondo Ledesma JR took the TQ, followed by Eduardo
Ferrufino and Harry Barzilay. The 20 minute A-main was a close one with many
lead changes and drop outs during the whole race. Ferrufino went on to take
the win, followed by Dustin Eich and Barzilay in 3rd. The points chase is
still up in the air, as round #1 TQ & winner Bob "Spanky" Bjorkman and round
#2 winner Rene Infante are just 2 points apart in the standings. The Finals
will decide the 2007 Champion for 1/8 Sportsman Buggy.
Traxxas Monster Truck
In MT, it was all Scott Beiswinger. Fresh home from his A-main appearance at
the 2007 ROAR Truck Nationals, Beiswinger took TQ and went on to put 2 laps
on the field during the 20 minute A-main. 2nd place was Duante Villanveva
and 3rd was Derek Zamot. All 11 trucks in the A-main were Traxxas Revos.
Team Associated 1/10 Gas Truck
In 1/10 scale, it was Juan Mendez taking the overall TQ. J. P. Tirronen took
2nd and Randy Deppen 3rd. In the 20 minute A-main event, the kid J.P. was on
fire again and soon took over the lead and went on to win by more then 2
laps over 2nd place Nick Cotugno. Joey Leveque finished 3rd on the same lap
as Cotugno. Look for J.P. to be in a National A-main near you soon.
The race was a great success thanks to the track crew and all of the series
sponsors who made this race possible - Machine's R/C Hobbies, CEN Racing,
Maxy's Fuel, Pro-line, Traxxas, J-Concepts, Team Associated,
http://www.getacai.net/, Carolina's R/C, and JK Enterprises. Hope to see everyone at
the $1,000 Cash Payout Finals November 2-4th.

Illinois State Finals Update
Tue Aug 28, 2007 7:12PM
Larry wanted me to post the following information.
"Illinois State Finals will go on as scheduled, Sept. 8th. After a phone consultation, the River City Raceway operators have assured everyone that the facility will be completely ready to race on Saturday. Issues of parking were addressed (grassy area being soft) and I was told there plenty of parking on the north side of the race track in a gravel area. River City Raceway will have the track changes in place by mid-week.
The Illinois State Final are open to anyone wishing to participate. The only restriction is disbursement of state t-shirts, you must have scored points in a previous round to receive a shirt. These shirts are on a first come first serve basis.
State championships will be awarded immediately after the completion of the races Saturday night.
Lorrie and I would like to thank everyone for your support of the Illinois State Pro Series in 2007. We look forward to seeing all of you in Peoria.
If you have any questions please email me at 95dirtcircus@gmail.com and I will get back to you as quick as possible.
Larry Thomason
Illinois State Co-director"
