Tom Firsching wins at Northeast World GT-R Champs

The 3rd Annual Northeast World GT-R Championships were held at CRC Raceway in Rome, New York last weekend. With over 30 entries in World GT-R only, the race was well attended with drivers from Ohio, Canada, Western New York as well as a great group from central NY in attendance. In addition to World GT-R, drivers would do battle in 1/12th scale, Legends and Euro Trucks. The race featured CRC’s race point format that allows any racer to be on top by winning their heat with drivers of near equal ability. Race control re-sort every round by the fastest three consecutive laps so that every heat is stacked with drivers of near equal ability. To win the event overall, the drivers in their respective heat have to be beaten. The scoring system rewards consistency and “driving to your ability”. Going into the final round, the format produced a number of racers that could win the overall. In the end it was Tom Firsching (CRC) with the overall victory from Julianna Roman (CRC) and Kevin Large (Speedmerchant). Dan Holcomb (CRC) and Christopher Howard (CRC) would round out the top 5.
