Over the weekend PTM attended the final points race of the Darkside series at Powerline RC.
After rain fell on the track, both Jack and Alex stated heat 1 with their Customworks Outlaw 5s, expecting the track to be on the looser side. Heat 1 was anything but loose, both drivers fought overly tight cars with Alex managing P1 and Jack P4.
For round 2 they switched to the Customworks Bullet, better suited to the higher grip expected in heat 2. Both cars picked up nearly half a second but halfway through the race light rain began falling on the track making it extremely slick. Alex stuck it out and pulled off P1 and Jack wisely decided it was better to save his car and pulled off as the rain picked up.
For the mains the track was back, Jack rolled off 6th in the B main since he pulled off in heat 2, they decided to test a few things on his car, it fired off strong but faded as the track came in. Jack just missed the transfer to the A.
Alex rolled off pole of the A main, he was uncontested and pulled off the win 2 laps up on second and breaking the old track record lap by .2 seconds, running a 3.8 over the old 4.0 lap record. He also finished the 4 race series 4th after only running 2 races, just 6 points behind first.
All cars were equipped with PTM tuned Motiv motors and batteries running Better Image Labs Gold tire prep.
