John McGinty wins the Supercross Midnight Summer Slam

The RC Pit hosted the Supercross Midnight Summer Slam on last Saturday. With over 80 entries the competition was deep in most classes. Qualifying was scheduled to start at 7pm but mother nature would unleash the rain. The racing would continue though with 3 rounds of qualifying ending at 2 am!  Racing completed at 5am on Sunday morning! Crazy dedication from the racers and track crew!

John would Tq the Pro 2 Sc class after 3 rounds. A single 10 minute A main would have John out to a 45 second lead over 2nd when tragedy would strike losing a wheel nut with only a 2 laps to go. John would trike his truck around but would lose the lead in the very last lap having to settle for 2nd place.

In 1/8 E Buggy John would again Tq the class and this time make short work of the 10 minute A-main leading form tone to tone.

John's son John the 3rd would start from the back of the 10 car field in Pro 2wd Buggy and work his way up to a solid 4th place finish. Not bad for just picking up RC racing recently.

The owner of the RC Pit would award John a "Slam Man" award for his tough luck in the Pro 2 SC class main giving him a very nice pit board.
