JBRL Round 2 - by Cody King
JBRL Nitro round 2 is complete, and it was a HOT hard fought win in the Buggyclass, and a little easier cruise in the Truggy class for Cody. These were goodwins for Cody as he maintains the points lead in both classes and retains the#1 number plates. Temps exceeding 100fmade the effort just a little more difficult unless you pitted in a motor homewith AC. Lots of water and wet towels were the order of the day.
Qualifyingin buggy was a challenge, as Cody had a tire coming off during warm-up. Afterswitching the tire, Cody got on the clock in time but gave up a few seconds ashe crossed the loop backward and had to turn around to get going forward on thetrack. This few seconds would prove to be critical as he battled with MikeTruhe for the lead. Adam Drake was in the next heat, and his time was only 2seconds faster than Mike and Cody, so the mishap at the beginning of theround turned out to be important. Cody would start 3rd on the gridfor buggy, and had the pole position in truggy.
Thebuggy final was really exciting with an epic battle for the first 8 minutes.Cody got past Truhe quickly and then set his sights on Drake. Drake, Truhe, andCody would battle hard, with the 3 running nose to tail and only inches apartat times and swapping positions. Drake looked to pull ahead slightly, but Codywould take the lead in the pits, which put some pressure on Adam. After Drakehad a mishap with traffic, this gave Cody a little breathing room. Over thelast 15 minutes Cody would stretch out his lead and cruise to the win, withDrake holding on for 2nd, Truhe 3rd, and Cody’s Kyosho team mate Sean Gaffneyin 4th. The Truggy class was a bit more simple, with Cody stretching out a hugelead and lapping the field to take the win, Drake in 2nd, and Matt Schrefflerin 3rd.
Codyused Proline Holeshot 2.0 tires on his buggy, and Holeshot on the truggy, bothin M3 compound. Both Cody’s Reds R5T TE2 engines
