Illinois State Championships
This past weekend we raced the Illinois State Electric Championships at Leisure Hours Raceway. Cush raced his Tresrey Spec DEX210, DEX410, and DEST210 in the modified classes, and after some practice on Friday to get dialed in he was ready for raceday.
The biggest class of the weekend was 2wd mod buggy with 75 entries. Cush was able to grab the 6th spot on the grid in the ultra competitive field, his Tresrey DEX210 was the highest seeded Durango vehicle in the field. The main started out rough as contact with multiple buggies sent him to the back of the field, but he was able to gain a few spots throughout the race and secure a 9th place finish- a solid day considering the heavy competition in a 12 car main.
As usual, Cush was feeling good with his Tresrey DEX410, and again in a really tough field he was able to put in some good runs and earned the 3rd spot on the grid. Luck was on his side this time as he avoided the first lap mêlée in the main and cruised around for most of the race in the 2nd spot. A few slight bobbles put him back to 3rd, but it was a well earned podium for him among some of the best drivers in the midwest.
The best racing of the weekend was between Cush and AE young gun Cole Tollard in the mod stadium truck class. The two battled for TQ supremacy throughout qualifying, with Cole narrowly edging out Cush for the top spot after Cush had owned it in rounds 1 and 2. The main saw the two quickly break away from the field, swapping positions seemingly every lap. As they came into the front straight to begin their last lap, Cush had the lead but got it just wrong enough on the front jump section for Cole to slip by, and at the line Cole edged him out by less than a second.
Two podiums, a top ten in a 75 car mod buggy field, and the top finishing Durango in each of his classes, Cush had a very solid weekend with his Tresrey/TD cars. Many thanks to all who support Cush and his racing efforts: Tresrey-USA, Team Durango, TrakPower, Muchmore, and BFast RC Performance.
