Team CRC
takes the 2008 Snowbirds
Jilles Groskamp
T.Q's and Wins 1:12th scale 19 turn with CRC Generation-X and Pro-Cut tires!
The 2008 Snowbird Nationals was a
fantastic event put on by Mike Boylan and the Thunder racing crew. The track
featured CRC's Fasttrak Racing Carpet and new this year CRC's Clik Trak Barrier
System. As usual, the event featured top notch competition in both oval and road
racing.
In road course wars, CRC cars and
tires made every 1:12th A-main.
In 19 turn 1:12th scale, the class
was defined by Jilles Groskamp. Jilles won every round of qualifying and the
A-main with his
CRC Carpet Knife Generation X (3200)
. Although he started in the T.Q. position, his A-main was quite eventful
as he hit a car that had got spun around backwards. This vaulted his Gen-X ride
about 4 feet in the air doing a triple back flip in the full pike position.
Jilles was knocked back to second and but quickly made his way back to the
front completing his sweep of the 19 turn class. Jilles used CRC Pro Cut
Tires and CRC's awesome Rake (#6025)
brushes in his handout motor to power his way to the victory.
