Second Year at Myrtle Beach
After running the race for much of its existence at Decatur Speedway, series officials moved the Black Kat Klassic to Myrtle Beach Speedway. In what proved to be a thrilling race, Myrtle Beach was once again chosen as the host for the rFactor race. With a rough surface, steeply banked corners and lap times just a whisker over 16 seconds, this track last year produced plenty of hair-raising thrills.
Rodrigues Looks to End Black Kat Curse
Last year, Nelson Rodrigues of Stoneham, MA looked to have the, well, cat in the bag, so to speak. But with just two laps to go his luck ran out and he spun out handing the lead and win to Rob Warren.
It’s a safe assumption that Rodrigues is hoping to turn that misfortune around and always seems to do well at tracks with high-banks and sustained speeds like Myrtle Beach Speedway.
Mojo is Back for Warren
Last week reigning SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Champion Rob Warren got back into the groove of winning. Locked out of the winner’s circle for the first five races of the season, Warren got his mojo back when he cleaned up at Southern National Raceway Parka nd Concord Motorsports Park on the second night of the 15th Annual North Carolina Swing.
Last year, with his win over Rodrigues, Warren became the fifth two-time winner of the Black Kat Klassic in SUPRS history. He joined Ray Sand, Jr., Myles Maxon, Carl Becker and John Davidson on that list. In all there have been just seven winners total of this race.
