Orlowski overall Champion at Florida Carpet Champs

Michal Orlowski has been crowned the overall Modified Champion at the Florida Carpet Champs.  Held at Beachline Raceway of Cocoa over the weekend, the indoor carpet event attracted a star line up of 1:10 Offroad drivers with qualifying seeing TLR’s Dakotah Phend the man to beat as he claimed both the 2WD and 4WD TQ.  While 2WD qualifying would see a different driver top each of the three qualifiers, topping Q3 would be enough for Orlowski to secure P2 on the grid with reigning World Champion Spencer Rivkin putting his Associated 3rd having topped Q2.  In 4WD, Phend was in dominant form taking all three heats.  Behind, Rivkin secured second on the grid from the Schumachers of Broc Champlin and Orlowski.  In the 2WD A-Main, the Top 3 would finish as they started with Phend getting the job done in A2 with his second straight win.  4WD however would see things go to A3.  While Phend won A1 from Orlowski, it would be Champlin with the A2 win as Orlowski suffered a DNF and Phend finished third behind Norway’s Daniel Kobbevik.  All to play for in A3,  it was Orlowski who came through for the leg win from Rivkin, Champlin and Phend.  Taking the overall 4WD win from team-mate Champlin with Phend completing the podium, combined with his second overall in 2WD it was the European visitor who was crowned the overall Modified Champion of the 2022 Florida Carpet Champs.
