Here is a report from the first annual Novarossi Challenge......
This past weekend was the first of many annual Novarossi Challenge races. It was put on by the new On-Road Importer for the USA in conjunction with the nice track located in Chaplin, CT. The host track calls themselves the conrolfreakz, what a cool name. We went to promote products and give support to the locals racers. It was kind of a last minute thing and the weather did not look to good.
We arrived on Friday about 3pm and were able to get some track time. From the moment I got on the track I could tell this was going to be a fun track. It was super high bite and I needed to test in these conditions, so I was happy for the traction. Using the vast line of Xceed oils I was able to find the needed combination of shock and diff oils to make the car very balanced and have just the right amount of stability for the high bite track. Saturday we got rained out, but Sunday was great and we got around 65 racers.
In the end I was able to TQ and Win the Sedan 200mm class, all while using the Octopus multi charging cord, Xceed oils and other fine Xceed products. I set a new track record and also had the fastest laps.
Till next time,
