Race report by Drew
While the snow was beginning to fall in Western Canada racers braved the conditions to head to Chilliwack, BC for the annual Big Chill. The host club, Overgeared Racing, picked up 4 rolls of the new CRC ‶Black※
Carpet and ran a tricky 110’ by 48’ layout that was both technical and fast.

Touring modified results:
1. Blake Bell – XRAY T4
2. Luke Pittman – XRAY T4
3. Darren Shank – XRAY T4


This open motor class didn’t disappoint with exciting battles between Pittman, Bell, Scales and Korey Harbke all weekend. Pittman was able to hold TQ throughout qualifying on Saturday and was ready to defend it come the last chance qualifier Sunday morning. Off to a slow start in Q4 Pittman fell back a few positions early in the run, but was able to make up some time and get on the TQ pace with a couple minutes left.

Battling with Korey it was going to be close and any mistake would have lost the TQ. Unfortunately for Pittman he got collected by a car sitting sideways after a crash and lost the TQ, allowing Harbke to grab it in the last few laps. The main, while it was exciting, was also a bit of a mess really shaking up the finishing order. Pittman and Harbke both got taken out by lap traffic allowing Bell, Shank and Ruck all to get by. Pittman ultimately made his way back to second but was unable to catch Bell to attempt a pass.

Touring stock
1. Luke Pittman – XRAY T4
2. Darren Shank – XRAY T4
3. Frank Bortalazzo – XRAY T4


Once again the new XRay car, this time the T4, was on top throughout all of qualifying as Pittman led the field with fellow XRAY drivers Darren Shank and Bortalazzo Frank staying close in the battle as well. In the main Shank was able to get by Pittman for the lead with some incredible driving but unfortunately traction rolled in the sweeper, letting Pittman get by. An excellent showing for the T4 2018.
