1ST AND 2ND PLACE FINISHES MOVE KEVIN PROBST INTO POINTS
LEAD!
CRANDON WI. June 20th 2008
The
team went north to Crandon Wisconsin for rounds 3 and 4 of
the 2008 WSORR season tour. There were no scheduled
activities for Friday other than registration and Tech.
Saturday June 21st
The morning practices for Jon and Kevin saw the trucks
working great with the exception of a slight glitch in the
#5 Pro Lite. The truck would not pull up over 6500 RPM and
that was a problem. In the pits later, Jon’s dad and engine
builder Jeff Probst quickly diagnosed the problem as an
ignition pickup and that part was changed to solve the
issue. Both trucks were ready for the day’s events.
Saturday’s Pro Lite race saw Jon and the #5 E3 Spark
Plugs/Lucas Oil Nissan PRO-Light start in the 4th position.
Jon
was 8th into the first turn after getting a bad start and
went to work on the field. After battling with two trucks
for the first half of the race, the 8th place truck spun,
allowing Jon to move into 7th place. At the end of the race
Jon worked his E3 Spark Plugs/Lucas Oil Nissan into 6th
place. “The grooving changes we made after practice really
made a big difference for us.” Said Jon after the race “I
feel very good about our chances in the race tomorrow. We
have the Fox Shox tuned in and the Toyo Tires are hooking
up.”
The Pro 2wd race was up last for the day. Kevin was on the
grid in the 5th position in the land rush start famous in
Crandon. The 12 truck field never had a chance as the #99 E3
Spark Plugs/Lucas Oil Chevy took the holeshot into turn one
and never looked back. At the race end, Kevin had an 8
second lead over Scott Taylor and Dan Vandenheuvel rounded
out the top 3. “We had an awesome truck today and the Toyo
Tires worked great” said Kevin, “Our Pro Power engine and
Fox shocks put down the gauntlet on the competition”. -
