21 Feb 2016 Kent, WA – This “Daytona Day” brings the LO-206 racers to the track for another in the race series. Aside of wanting to watch the Daytona 500 in Florida the weatherman had predicted a storm cell right around the time the “finals”.
With these factors coming into play the schedule was tweaked a little to at least beat the weather. This was mainly due to the fact that the racers had to finish the three heat event on the tires they started with.
Clear, chilly and dry equals “slicks” not “rain” tires and they were the proper choice for today. Lapping the track in a little over 70 seconds says the grip was good and these times showed it. Its how in racing one can go the fastest lap and in the final race not make the podium, that’s racing.
The podium placers standing in a downpour are Zak Bothel in first, Craig Collins in second and Derek Wang taking third.
