First Place F Superstock Expert!

What a day!  Roland Wheeler had his RC3 race bike debut at Fontana’s Auto Club Speedway, and he and the CSC RC3 did well!  How’s this sound…first place the first time Roland raced the RC3!

The weather was perfect, the photo ops were phantastic, and Roland and the CSC RC3 performed magnificently.   Let’s get to the main attraction first, and that’s a quick video I assembled showing the action today…I know I need a separate mike and I know it’s a bit hard to hear what we’re saying.   Hey, the next one will be better, but this one looks pretty good to me!   Roland did amazingly well, better than he imagined…in fact, when I interviewed Roland, he thought he had finished in second or third place, but nope…he nabbed first place!

I grabbed a bunch of photos, too, and here are some of the ones I like the best…

At speed. Roland said the bike was hitting speeds over 90 mph and had more to give.

Keep an eye on us, folks, and keep an eye on the RC3 race program.  There’s going to be a lot more coming your way on this new CSC activity!  And what about you?  Ever thought you might want to get into racing?  We think there’s no better way to do it!
