Gravitywerx Cinderella Story

Gravitywerx Saturday, 9/22/2012

After losing to Smitty in the 10-car Spring mail-in race, WorpeX came on strong in the last 2 rounds to win the Summer 2012 30-car shootout. This was a 10 round series between the Summer 2011 top ten, fall top ten (using different cars) and top five from the Spring mail-in. The rest of the slots were filled with some recent purchases, one which I thought would run away with it (it wound up 5th). WorpeX qualified last (timed run) and started 10th in round 1 C race. He finished 3rd and moved to A where he finished 5th dropping him to B. He got a 3rd which moved him to A where he stayed getting a 6th, 1st, 3 fourths, a first and a 3rd for 78 out of a possible 110 points. It was the first time a plastic-based car ever won a championship on this difficult track. The next plastic car would be the weighted Chrysler of TLD (11th), then Gspeed1 (23rd), Gspeed2 (27th) Goolz Jr (29th) and a Matchbox car in last. Smitty finished 12th. This was the last race of this format for awhile because these are the fastest cars that have ever been down this track and WorpeX is the fastest!

Ohhh yeah. In one of my videos I did a Touge racing test and in those tests I noticed how incredibly fast the Bedlam was around turns. It was a no brainer for me to send it to the Gravitywerx! Never thought it would actually win though. Awesome stuff!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pykJpaemQ3I Video of Round 4A. WorpeX (maroon car) had just returned to the A race and gets roughed up by heavier cars. Finished 6th. Have to think every race was similar. But won following round and eventual Championship!
