Weekend Race Recap
Saturday 7:30PM -
Saturday Night Racing Winner: Grave Digger
Saturday Freestyle Winner: Grave Digger
Team Grave Digger started off '06 with a winning record. Pablo Huffaker dominated the racing this evening. Rick Swanson and Obsession were on top of their game as well. Rick raced his way into the final, beating some of the top drivers and trucks on the way to the final. In the main, Obsession seemed to have Digger covered, but charged into the final corner too hard and slid out. Digger capitalized on the slight mistake and ended up on the podium.
In freestyle, the drivers started slow and then went haywire. In the beginning the trucks were able to make the full 90 second run and the scores were relatively low. In the 2nd half the drivers never seemed to get more than 15 to 20 seconds before violently rolling. Scores are as follows.
Tropical Thunder: 19
Obsession: 25
Cowboy: 19
BackDraft: 20
Hot Wheels: 27
The Patriot: 23
BlackSmith: 27
King Krunch: 12
Blue Thunder: 18
Escalade: 9
Maximum Destruction: 20
GraveDigger: 27
The crowd cheered off the top three that tied with Grave Digger getting the win and a sweep on the weekend.
