Heat Four

West Course

Dave Ogburn made up some serious ground during Friday’s three runs on the West Course. Ogburn left the competition site, on Thursday night, as the third place driver in C Street. While other drivers in the class seemed to have issues on the West Course, Ogburn quickly determined what he needed to do on the quicker course and took it from there consistently running faster laps. In the end, he took the championship by 0.453-second over Chris Fenter.

East Course

In G Street, Mark Scroggs summed up the West and East Courses this way: the west was about survival, while the east was about letting the car go. After holding the overnight lead, Scroggs put his right foot down to score his second GS title in as many years. Scroggs was comparatively dominate, with a 1.622-second win.

Kart Modified also saw a familiar driver at the top of the standings. Paul Russell said his team has serious issues finding the correct setup for his kart on the East Course. The bumps and seams in the pavement were difficult to negotiate and Russell admitted he felt much more comfortable about his chances of repeating after Thursday. Friday went much better on the West Course as Russell set a scorching opening lap in the low 48-second range, then spent the rest of the day in the 47s and went on to win by 1.744 seconds over Daniel Wendel.
