FIRST PLACE UNLT FWD!

WORLD Racing brought the “Bi-Winged-Banshee” to the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois. With Chris Rado at the helm, the team once again stole the Front Wheel Drive track record to continue their winning streak. Scattered thunderstorms mixed with Midwest humidity throughout the weekend made controlling the 700 horsepower Scion tC a challenge. Moisture accumulated on portions of the corners, but the Hankook tires gripped the track perfectly, while still providing the speed Chris needed to make that front wing work. “If we had to paint the car pink to make it fast, it would be pink”, said Tyler Cooley, Crew Chief of WORLD Racing, about the front wing. “It is not all about aesthetics.” This was WORLD’s first appearance at the Autobahn Country Club. Chris used his time and practice sessions wisely by feeling out the track, and learning all its nuances before unleashing the Scion tC off its reins. And on the second lap of the final session, WORLD recorded a 1:30.717 to capture the Unlimited FWD gold and a new Front Wheeled track record in the process. Chris Rado and the WORLD Racing team would like to thank all those who came this weekend and extend an invitation for the next event at the Nashville Super Speedway on July 25th and 26th in Nashville, Tennessee.
