Korgae Scales wins 1/12th Mod at WCICS Rd3

With the first 2 rounds completed in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, it was time for the first race in British Columbia. Round 3 of the non-profit Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series was held on Remembrance Day weekend amid the beautiful mountains of Penticton, B.C. The Penticton Radio Control Club hosted a great event, with 7 classes and championship points all on the line. In the Team Novak sponsored 1/12th Modified class it was the 2012 WCICS champion, Speed Merchant sponsored, Korgae Scales that took TQ & win with his prototype Rev 8, also boasting the fastest lap of the entire weekend, in any class. Followed by one of the closest battles of the entire weekend for 2nd between WCICS President Josh Carter from Alberta driving his Xray, and British Columbia pan car legend, ROAR National winner, Craig Roberts with his CRC. In a classic foam tire battle, 3rd place qualifier Craig’s car was faster earlier in the race and on a tight, technical track he cleanly passed Josh to take second. Then midway through the race Craig’s car started to fall off, and Josh’s settled in and the chase was on. With just 2 laps to go Josh returned the favor with a clean pass to cross the line just a few tenths ahead taking second place.
