January 23rd Race Recap:

SUlTANA takes the win

With Oak Hills not present on the race night, it had given schools more breathing room while racing. The track was smooth with good drivers. There were no major crashes and easy passes. The big winner for the night was Harrison Tanner (Team Drop Top) from CRHS with a first time in the A-Main.

Although Team Drop Top from Canyon took the A-Main win and 2 heat wins, Sultana had taken the trophy home for the week because they had several podium finishers throughout the night. Mr. Winters secured the final win for Sultana in the teachers A-Main.

The large 6 pack of jumps on the new track layout proved to be quite the obstacle for a majority of the drivers. Teams such as Drop Top, Break Masters, and Garrett from Sultana had nearly mastered the 6 pack helping them pull away.

January 16th Race Recap:

Mojave takes their first team win

Racing continued at Coyote Hobbies Raceway Monday night with Mojave High School taking the win with finishers in first and second place. John Carter took first place in both of his qualifiers and the main.

Drivers from Mojave had put on good racing all night which in the end had payed off for them with an overall victory. John Carter was consistent all night long. He was putting in good lap times which had given him a starting spot in the A-Main. John was also constantly doubling through the large 6 pack.

A few of the schools are now realizing the importance of the seminar last Monday, which had brought up the recurring issue with traction rolls and ride height.

January 9th Track Recap:

Seminar & INstruction

Last night instead of racing at Coyote Hobbies Raceway there was a seminar, that had brought up the common issue with camber, ride height, and the roll center. Dave the owner of Coyote Hobbies started out the seminar with the explanation of traction rolls which is a roll when your car enters a turn and it produces too much traction and the rear tires grips to much and flips the truck.

Camber is used to help control the car on the track. Negative 2 camber is recommended on the whole car. A low ride height will allow for more control in tight turns while on the throttle. This seminar should help everybody that races that has problems with traction rolling.

The racers from OHHS raced well and took it slow. Most teams had a lead finger, resulting in not finishing races and multiple crashes. Cars were all over the track causing several teams to get bad laps and adding up to 10 seconds to their times.
