Jimmy Babcock’s 2011 JBRL electric series came to an end this weekend at Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus, California. The 8 race series was held throughout the year at multiple tracks across Southern California. This year saw an exceptional turnout with an average of 200 entries per round! The popularity of the race seems to grow each year, which could be attributed to the cash prizes and car kits to the overall winners.
Points were tallied up going into the final round and a few class titles were clinched, but many of the overall wins were still up for grabs and came down to the final, 8th round. The very fast, blue groove track made for some great racing conditions.
Pro-Line drivers; Jonny Wachter (Pro-2 SC), Nick Lasley (Exp. Stock Buggy) and Brent Fiege (1:8 Elec. Buggy) took wins while Brian McDuffie was on the podium for both Mod 2 wheel Buggy and Exp. Stock Buggy!
A special thanks to Jimmy Babcock and the rest of the JBRL crew for putting on a great racing program this year. We’ll see you next year!
