Chad Bradley – 2010 Unlimited Short Course Champion

The series had three of the eight rounds at indoor tracks which I used Pro-Line Suburb SC (MC compound), white Split Six wheels and the PL Jammin’ Desert Rat body. Two of the rounds was hosted at Hot Rod Hobbies which I preferred to use the Pro-Line’s Bow-Tie SC (M2 compound) because of the extremely long life the tread pattern has. I also used this tire at Racers Haven in Bakersfield which had an abrasive surface that was also treated with tar.

The remaining rounds were held at Pegasus Hobbies which the surface was sometimes dry or wet. I found either the Hole Shot SC or Sniper SC in M3 compound to work best on this surface. Pro-Line tires and accessories were the most preferred product used in the Unlimited Short Course class by the majority of the racers at each round.  I lead in the points standings since the opening round and locked up the overall points win with two or three rounds remaining on the schedule. I nearly finished with a perfect score by just one win.

I would like to thank everyone at Pro-Line for working so hard all year to make sure we had the best Short Course tire for each event that had so many different conditions. I felt I had a huge advantage all year using Pro-Line products!

JBRL electric series round 4 at Racers Haven in Bakersfield, CA. 

The unlimited 4wd short course class saw a full field of OFNA trucks. During qualifying Chad Bradley set the fastest times in both rounds driving the Jammin SCRT-10, Kevin Smith 2nd with the SCRT-10 as well and DJ drove the Hyper 10 SC rounding out the top 3 after qualifying. In the 6-minute main, Chad pulled to an early lead after the first few laps, Kevin Smith and DJ battled for the second position for the majority of the race, which allowed Chad to cruise to an uncontested win.

Chad used M2 Bow-Tie tires, Closed Cell Inserts and the new Desert Rat 2.0 body for the SCRT-10.

Qualifying

Round 1 in the Expert 4wd Short Course class Randy Kung set the TQ mark with the Hyper 10SC. Randy’s time held until round 3 when Chad Bradley driving the Jammin SCRT-10 set a time 4 seconds faster than Randy’s round 1 time, Chad’s time would hold giving him the overall TQ going into the main events on Sunday. After qualifying the top 3 spots were held by Chad Bradley driving the SCRT-10, Randy Kung with the Hyper 10SC and Brian Kinwald driving Jay Halsey’s SCRT-10.

Expert 4wd Short Course Triple A-Mains

A-1 Chad Bradley shot out to an early lead, Randy Kung applied some early pressure on the first lap however Chad was able to secure the lead from Randy. After a few laps were put in Brian Kinwald driving a SCRT-10 loaned to him by Jay Halsey was able to get around Randy for the second position. Brian closed the gap between himself and Chad by a second, later in the run Chad was able to gap himself a little between himself and Brian and take the win in A-1. Brian Kinwald finished second and Randy Kung in 3rd.

A-2 Chad lead the first few laps until getting loose at the end of strait and wrecked going through the whoop section, this allowed Brian Kinwald to take the lead from Bradley, Kinwald put about a full strait-away length over Bradley. Chad was determined to secure the overall win in round 2, however Brain Kinwald put in solid consistent laps from the point of taking the lead to end of the race. Kinwald took the win, Bradley in second, and Kung in 3rd. So going into the 3rd and final main Chad Bradley and Brain Kinwald are now tied, whoever finishes higher between the two drivers would take the overall win in the exp. 4wd class.

A-3 Bradley and Kinwald both have wins in the first 2 main events, the winner in the 3rd main will take the overall win in the expert 4wd Class. Fortunately for Chad Bradley he said this run was the best his truck has worked all weekend. Chad and Brian were able to get a clean start from the beginning of the race, Chad put in a flawless run in A-3 and Brain wasn’t able to pull close enough. Chad and Brain were separated by only 2 seconds for most of the final main. Chad Bradley took the win in A-3 and the overall, Brian Kinwald finished 2nd and Kevin Smith in 3rd making it a Jammin 1-2-3 finish and that was the overall after 3 hard fought main events!

Chad Bradley would like to thank Danny S. for hosting the Team Novak 1st annual Short Course Race at his world-class facility. Bob Novak and Charlie at Team Novak for the new Havok Pro SC ESC. and new Ballistic 4.5 motor, Chad said it was so smooth, responsive and fast. Thank you also to Pro-Line for getting him the brand new Suburb SC MC tire that worked amazing all weekend at the race, and UpGrade R/C for making my truck look so clean!

Chad used the Pro-Line M3 Caliber SC tires with the Split Six rear wheels on the front and rear on his Jammin SCRT-10 to capture the overall TQ. Chad set the fastest time in round 1 by nearly 2 laps and nearly a lap in round 2 with the M3 Caliber SC/Split Six tires and wheels. Track conditions were drastically different for the main events, so Chad opted for the M3 Bow-Tie SC for the harder packed conditions, showing that Pro-Line has you covered for all track conditions in the Short Course classes. The Pro 4wd Short Course main event saw Chad Bradley pull to an early 10-12 second lead over 2nd place, and never let up to take the convincing win and his 3rd Silver State Title, thanks to Pro-Line products!

I’ve been racing my Jammin SC for the past three or four months now around all the tracks in So Cal, from smooth indoor tracks to huge loamy 1:8 off road tracks with monster size jumps. I mainly race at my home track Hot Rod Hobbies in Santa Clarita, CA. We normally have 80-100 entries on a Tuesday night and 70% of those entries are short course trucks. The indoor tracks that I race at are very similar to Hot Rod’s in regards to the entries, so I don’t think this class is going anywhere but becoming even more popular, thanks to the product Pro-Line produces and the manufactures of the trucks!

I’ve been having a blast racing these trucks and I honestly believe its been helping my driving in the 1:8 nitro classes as well. Below is a link to many of my races around So Cal racing my short course truck.

This year at Jammin we thought it would be best to change up the events we would normally attend and hit up some of the races that we haven’t been able to attend in the past years due to scheduling with other events. I went to an awesome race up in Toronto Canada and got to meet many new racers as well as some that I haven’t seen in some time, and I just got back from a weekend race up in central California that was a blast as well.

Hopefully in my next blog I would have done something interesting other than racing to write about. But I wish everyone a great one and good luck at the races.

 

As you can see from the pictures its also sponsored by Pro-Line, Jay will have the car displayed at this years RCX show in Pomona CA. or you can see it at this year’s Corr Series! Be sure to check out Jammin’s web page and Corr Racing web page for more info.
