CORR Las Vegas Race Update



HOT HOT HOT !! For all of you who came to the CORR race in Las Vegas you know what I am talking about. It was VERY Hot; well over 100 on Sunday. The Racer X and Volkspower Racing got to the track early...actually 1 day early...see all the pro team semis lined up in front of us? We had to wait until they were all moved in until we were able to move in.
The Racer X and Volkspower Racing Team were able to snag a pit spot that were all adjacent and allowed us to pit all of the cars under the same tent...that worked out great.
The Volkspower Racing Team of Jeff Knupp and Eric Greener drove their Volkspowered cars to three top ten finishes for the weekend. Jeff finished 7th place in Round 3 and 5th place in Round 4. While Eric finished 13th place and 7th place respectively. Great job!!Mike drove his Racer X Motorsports Pro Buggy to a Sixth place finish in the B Main on Saturday and to a 13th Place Finish in the Main Event on Sunday. With the new engine, the car had much more power than our last visit to Las Vegas. And, the engine worked great. The team worked all weekend to tweak the car's setup to match the conditions of the track which varied from VERY wet and slippery to dry and dusty. The Team was happy with the car's performance and the continued improvement on the lap times. Our goal each time is to improve our lap times and our overall performance.
Thanks again to the Volkspower Racing Team and to Kevin McMullen and Jeremy James for all of their help. We will now begin tearing down the car and engine to get ready for the next CORR race in Chula Vista in July.
