A very busy couple of days announcing and racing at M&M Mile RC Oval Track for the Arizona Dirt Oval Championships, but had an amazing time! Took the win in Outlaw Sprint against a stacked field🏆

We got halfway through seeding on Friday when rain would postpone the program until Saturday. The track would still be in perfect shape on Saturday for 3 qualifiers and main events. The track didn’t quite rubber in like I’d hoped for JConcepts Inc Smoothie 3 tires in blue compound to shine, but silver Smoothie 2’s would, as always, bring the magic. I would take 5 overall points in quals to seed third in the show. After a couple hiccups in the first 15 or so laps, I settled in just behind Bryson Curry for the next 20. A small bobble from Bryson put me into the lead and I was able to hold on until the end. Congrats to Bryson and Dick Reece on their podium finish, and Trever Epperson with a 360 Sprint win with his Custom Works Outlaw 5!

It was my first time in Michael Malmgren and Peach Malmgren facility, and I was blown away. The track is incredible, and they really know how to put a program together. There was food and drinks available, and a super relaxed vibe made the event a great time to all that attended. Huge thank you to them for giving me a chance to run their biggest race of the year, I can’t wait to be back.

To all the racers that attended, thank you for cooperation during the program. We ran 50 heats and 32 mains in record time! Danny Reinhold and Trever Epperson worked their butts off the entire weekend with track maintenance and anything else Mike, myself or the program needed.

It was neat to reconnect with old friends and see familiar faces over the weekend. R/C oval racing in Arizona is alive and well with a great group of people, and I am proud to be a small part of it.

Can’t thank Ethan Kovalsky enough for making sure my car was on point and ready for every race this weekend. Wouldn’t be able to race without his help!

Huge thank you to everybody that supports my race program. See you all this Friday at Hobby Action RC Raceway🏁
