Derek West takes 3rd at Ultra 4 East Coast Shamokin Showdown in PA
Friday Apr. 13, 2018
Friday, April 13…The team did some pre-running of the course then qualifying started at 3:00 pm. Derek & Nick had a great run and ended up starting 3rd for the main race. The AOAA park was nice and the weather was amazing for this event which brought out a lot of spectators.
Saturday, April 14…All the other classes started at 9:30 am with the 4400 class running at 3:30 pm. The course was (6) 13 mile loops of a mix of woods, rocks and a little bit of mud. Derek and Nick ran great for several laps moving in 2nd place waiting for a chance to get in the lead. The #20 car was doing amazing and had no flats entire race thanks to our Nitto Tires! On the fourth lap they ran out of engine coolant so the guys had to stop to add more coolant, bleed the system and they were off to gain their time back. The stop cost them about 20 minutes, which put them into 3rd place. They ran great the rest of the race taking a podium finish of 3rd place. “It was a fun race and we have always enjoyed racing in Pennsylvania!” states Derek.
