Chris at Woodburn Divisional – July 2018

Chris was down at the Woodburn, Oregon Lucas Division-6 Race on the weekend of July 13-15th in the HEAT!! Temps were well into the 90’s and the track temp had to be VERY hot! Paul & Peyten were there to give Chris a hand and cheer him on. 

Saturday test run on the hot track!

 

Chris won the first round on Sunday with an excellent reaction time pedaling on the top end to take the stripe. He only needed to run a 10.862 on a 10.66 @ 106.88 MPH to get the win light. 

The 2nd round didn’t go as well, as Chris stated: “Car spun, I was late. Had nothing for my opponent.” He ran a 10.772 on a 10.69 @ 122.88 MPH. When it spun the tires off the starting line it shifted early into 2nd and the weekend was over.
