17/06/2008 - Scott Kimbrow wins Capital Classic 2008.
The Capital Classic at 301 raceway has become one of the premier Fuel On-Road races in America. This year's race did not disappoint in any way. There was a record turnout of 232 entries, and all of the top drivers in the country were on hand to tune up for the ROAR Nationals which will be at 301 raceway later this year.
The weather was very hot and humid, and the track was very hard on fuel mileage. Many drivers either had to pit, or ran out of fuel trying to make it. My NOVAROSSI 359plus2 ran perfect, and made mileage in every qualifier. This put me 2nd on the starting grid for the final, just behind Chris Tosolini and just in front of Mike Swauger........

1:8 IC Report by Salvadori.
Qualifing:
The rain ended with some drivers strategy for the final
rounds and finished with the chance of other drivers to
recover important positions.
Pirani:
had a clean qualify on the first day but didn't managed
to improve on 3rd and 4th rounds on the superfast track
and that means he had no chance to fight for a top4 placing.
Balestri: was very fast from the start of
qualifying, although he struggled with engine consistency
when trying the constant pressure device to make 5 minutes
and ended up wasting the two first rounds....... |
