Craig Collinson wins at Schumacher Master Series Rd6

Last weekend was the sixth round of the ever popular Schumacher Masters Series held at Worksop Raceway. With over 150 entries the competition was as tough as always. Xray’s Craig Collinson started the day with intent taking 4WD TQ in round 1 of qualifying, ahead of world class driver Neil Cragg (Team Associated). The next three qualifying rounds would see Neil top round 2 with Craig 2nd, Craig top round 3 with fellow team mate Dom Nunn 2nd and in round 4 Dom put in a storming run to take the round ahead of Craig. This meant Craig would take overall TQ with Xray driver Dom Nunn 2nd and in the 3rd spot would be Neil Cragg. In the final Craig got off to a clean start with Dom and Neil in hot pursuit. Unfortunately Dom made an early error allowing Neil to take the 2nd spot and young Schumacher driver Josh Holdsworth 3rd. Craig drove a faultless five minute final keeping his buggy on the racing line at all times, not allowing an opportunity for Josh or Neil to make a pass. In the end Craig took the win just in front of Josh and Neil.

JConcepts Winter INS9 – Report

Last weekend kicked off the Winter edition of the JConcepts Indoor National Series in St. Charles, Missouri at the facility formerly known as SmacTrac. Under the same management, but a new name, Team Velocity R/C Raceway still embodies its rich racing heritage along with the fun and friendly atmosphere from before, making the highly anticipated Winter Indoor Nationals a sold out event with 353 total entries. With minor tweaks to the event classes for 2019, the JConcepts INS formula has been improved to better accommodate new racers looking for the awesome big race experiences. The Independent class is still dedicated to the Zero Sponsor racer, but the organisers backed down the power to a fixed timing 21.5 handout motor to be used during the event. Also, the inclusion of the hot new 4×4 Mini Truggies that have recently hit the scene, a brand new class was added to highlight the event with the fastest trucks out there.
