The RC Pro US Series 16 took place 9/23 in Harlingen Texas and this race was turning out to be quite crucial for David Joor. David wanted to continue his points lead to defend his RCP Electric National Title. Two years ago when David got into electric 8th scale he won the RCP Finals and in 2010 took home the RCP Electric National Title. The points setup has changed this year which meanstso David was leading the points with Mitchel Gardner in 2nd (whom was fierce competition @ last years Finals) and Jake Dillinger. So I grabbed my Associated 8.2’s and took the venture down south. David took TQ in electric by winning each round but Dillinger didn’t make this easy.
David took the 1st electric main but Dillinger made a charge back in the second main to take the win so it was all up to the 3rd main. In the third main David lost control of the car in the most difficult section of the track that and went over the pipe and had a head on collision with 4th place! Getting back on the other side he continued to follow Dillinger for 2 laps literally a foot or two behind in each corner trying to make him crack and right when David began to think he wasn’t going to he traction rolled in the sweeper and cartwheeled off the track. So David went on to win the 3rd main and this has given me maximum points of 218 going into the finals because he TQ’d, lead most laps, and won two RCP events. Dillinger and Gardner are now tied for second with 210.
