Celebrating
10 Years of the SWT Series
[Encino CA] The Tour
returns to the high banks of the ENCINO VELODROME on Saturday August 14th. This is the 7th event of
the 2010 Points Series, with a great points battle shaping up in virtually
all the classes. This months event will be
the first visit to the velo since May’s Allstar-Shootout, and speeds are
expected to once again be even faster. Come on out and check out
r/c oval cars on the 250 Meter High Banked track, it may hook you! ### [Taft CA] Race 2 if the
Summer Sizzle b2b Carpet races took place last weekend, with yet another great
day of racing on the rug in Taft CA.
Thanks to Craig & Gary Hamilton, we were able to avoid an issue with
location when the normal Lincoln Jr. High gym was found to be undergoing some
renovations this weekend. With
the help of the Hamilton’s and others involved, the event was moved right
across the street to the TAFT COLLEGE. Congrats to the HobbyTalk
TQ Pin winners and Main Event winners A Mains FULL Heat and Main results
can be found in the RESULTS Section - [Taft CA] The first of the
two SUMMER SIZZLE events in Taft is in the History Books and speeds continue
to rise. Bryan Blaser
raised the mark in the 17.5/1 cell class with his win in the “A” Main to 74 laps.
Blaser turned in a 73
lapper in the “IFMAR” style qualifying in his TQ round which may also be a
track record. 1 Bryan Blaser 6 | 72/5:02.21 | 72/5:00.42 | >73/5:03.68 27.0 In the Sportsman 21.5/2

ENCINO
VELODROME – Race 4 [Encino CA] The high banks of the Encino
Velodrome would once again be the setting for the 4th points race
of the 2010 season, and just like April’s race, Scot Petitclerc was on a
record setting pace in the 13.5 / 1 cell class. The 13.5 motor was selected to be used as the
“SLOW” motor on the velodromes, where 17.5 was chosen on the short carpet
tracks. It took only a few laps
to find that 13.5 / 1 cell is anything but slow with the new
higher/adjustable timing speed controls, and Scot figured it out quickly and
has pretty much run away with the show.
Results based on rounds 1 - 3
-----13.5 Stock Car – Top 5
----- '>' indicates the best
round. Average mph is computed
for the best round. With this class becoming
the SHOOTOUT Class for Sunday’s 4th Annual ALLSTAR-SHOOTOUT,
several 1st time (to this class) racers used the points day to do
some learning and testing. Scot
would continue where he left off in qualifying by taking the A main win
showing he was going to be a force to be in contention to win his first
Shootout. Best Heat Lap/Time for
17.5-13.5 Stock Car: Scot Petitclerc with 29/5:01.22 -- 13.5 Stock Car - A
Main – Top 5 -- Pos Car Laps time name 1
29/5:08.07 Scot Petitclerc
The “Expert” class opted
early this year to run a combined 10.5/ 1 cell on short tracks, while staying
with 21.5 / 2 cell on the big track.
Joe Blackburn would take the “HobbyTalk TQ” just beating out Erik
Steenhoven for the bonus point. 1 Joe Blackburn 32/5:04.12 Blackburn would also go on
the win the main event over Gary Hamilton. The Sportsman 21.5 class
had a great battle for TQ with 4 racers hitting the 30 lap marker. At the April race it was Tony Staples
running the classes only 30 lap run, but drivers learned a little since then
and came out charging hard. Tony
Staples would once again earn the bonus point, edging out John Miles for the
top spot. In the main it was Brad
Muther who took off with the holeshot and ran the quickest laps up front, but
a early race crash dropped him back to second with San Jose’s Rich Slejmar
grabbing the lead, going on to
win the main event. Joe
Buffalino would take the 3rd spot.
In the NASTRUCK class,
Keith Brown would be the class of the field running what should have been a 28
lap run, but failing to cross the finish line with a fried motor on the final
lap. ( 27/4:55.69 ) – TJ Kendall, who has been struggling to get his truck up
to speed the past several races, finally found something and qualified 2nd. Brown would redeem himself
and get that 28 lap run when the main rolled around, with TOM Kendall taking
2nd. -- Nastruck 21.5 - A Main – Top 5 Pos Car Laps time name 1
28/5:07.10 Keith Brown
