Crandon Sept. 2010 - Weather Cold – Racing Hot

PRO4x4, the highlight race of the day brought out the big guns of TORC racing. After the last turn of the first lap the field settled into Steve Barlow 83, Johnny Greaves 22, Scott Douglas 7, Mark Jenkins 25, Mike Jenkins 47, Rick Huseman 36, Adrian Cenni 11, Kyle LeDuc 99, Kurt LeDuc 43, Ken Kincaid 44.
Then soon after the 2nd lap on it was Monster vs Red Bull with Greaves ahead of Barlow, Douglas then Huseman. Kyle dropped out of sight. For the remainder of the race Johnny never gave up the lead and in fact widened the gap from the rest of the field.
Cenni raced his first TORC race this season and worked his way from 5th place slowly all the way to a 3rd place podium finish. The big show was between Douglas and Huseman as they bumped into each other battling for second place. Eventually Barlow rolled in the last turn of the track leaving him helpless on his roof while moments later Douglas caught on fire and pulled off the track. Rescue workers attended to him quickly and put the fire out with no harm done to the driver.

Mark Jenkins rolled his truck also in the last turn over the outside wall.
Pro4x4 was by far the most exciting pro race of the day. Let’s see what Sunday will have to offer. Huseman set the fastest lap of the day 1:19.865 however wasn’t able to beat his old track record.
