Podium Finish for Team Associated F6 Debut!
|
April 6, 2017 - This past Friday and Saturday I traveled to Springfield, OH to compete in the first Nobody's Fool Trophy Race. The event was a first for promoter Von Perry and Access Hobbies. It was more laid back and had a sense of "kiddie" feel. That might be due to it also being Mr Perry's birthday event. They had cake, pizza, and singing, and gave out some very funny awards during the event, like Clown of the Day, First to Break, Cry Baby, and Fastest Lap. It was all in good fun and a cool way to celebrate a birthday.
