Round 15 - 16
The final two rounds of the Traxxas TORC Pro 2 Series took place outside the Las Vegas strip under the lights to decide a season long three way battle between Rob MacCachren, Ricky Johnson, and Todd LeDuc for the Pro 2 Championship.
Horrible
track conditions on friday night produced such a thick dust cloud over the
track, that nobody could make out which truck was which! The Torc track crew had
to stop the races several times to water down the track and give a chance for
the dust to settle.
And in desert like conditions, Rob blitzed the field beating Ricky and Todd and inching ever closer to the title.
The battle of the championship was still so close that if Ricky won the last race and lead all the laps, Rob had to finish 3rd or better to clinch the championship. IF Todd won and lead the most laps, Rob needed to finish 4th or better.
At the first turn, the top 4 trucks piled up, and Ricky ducked under the whole mess and took off in the lead. Rob got caught up in the 1st turn pile up and was way back in the field at the end of the first lap.
One by one, Rob picked off the trucks in front of him, and when the competition yellow came out, Ricky was still in front, and Rob was right on his tail. Running 3rd and 4th where Todd LeDuc and Bryce Menzies both of them using our B2T Underdrive as well!
When the green waved, Ricky took off with Rob in close pursuit. Rob played it cool and followed Ricky to the checkered flag and his 2nd Pro-2 Championship in a row and our 3rd in a row!!!
Rob had racked 5 wins and 4 Oakley Bomb awards for fastest laps. He also was in the top 4 the whole 16 race season except for one 12th place finish mid season.
Todd LeDuc finished 3rd in the championship!
We congratulate Rob MacCachren and his crew on their stellar achievement!!
