Edmonton WCC Report

The weekend of July 30 - August 1 was the final two rounds of the WCC. It was hot and sunny all weeknd making for some great racing.


On Saturday Scott would pull out a 4th in qualifying in the very tight Rotax Sr class. In the prefinal he would slip back to 6th. Then in the final after being close at the begininng he would end up with a 7th place finish after losing the draft which is huge in the superspeedway of Stratotech Raceway Park. In the DD2 class Scott was the leader of the pack in the Masters class but a little off in the overall class. In the prefinal when chasing the leaders he would clip a curb and bend his axle. He had no other choice than to retire after his axle started to shift creating the drive to slip. Starting 13th overall in the final he would make the move fast to the front and only 2 laps in was third overall but 1st in Maasters. it would end up like that. With the win in Masters this would clich his spot on Team Canada for the Rotax World Finals in Italy in November.



On Sunday it was not his best day. Qualifying 9th in Rotax Sr was not what he was looking for. In the prefinal he was struggling with a very stuck kart and fell off the pace. In the final after making huge changes would not really change to outcome with not what he was wanting. In the DD2 class he would again be on top in qualifying in masters but second overall. In the prefinal we would win masters and finish second overall. The final would look like it was going to be the same outcome but with 3 laps remaining his motor would start to cough and sputter. It got worse and worse. The pack was slowly gaining ground and then in the 3 last corner on the last lap he would lose the lead and then lose a spot on the poduim 5 feet from the finish line.





Overall it was a good weekend because of the DD2 Masters Western Canadian Championship and a trip to the World Finals but he was wanting the last weekend to be much better.


Next it the Canadian National Championships on the weekend of August 20-22. He will be racing the DD2 Master class vying for the Canadian Championship aswell.
