EDDIE SACHS RACING
USAC TRAXXAS USAC SILVER CROWN SERIES
Race Preview - Hoosier 100 at the Indiana State
Fairgrounds
May 23rd, 2012 - The Traxxas United States
Auto Club (USAC) Silver Crown Championship Series along with Eddie Sachs Racing
(ESR) and their driver Jimmy Kite have a quick turnaround as they return to
action Friday, May 25th at the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the historic
Hoosier 100.
The ESR team came home in 15th place in the USAC Hall of
Fame Classic at Lucas Oil Raceway on Saturday night. Kite and the ESR
crew struggled initially with injection system issues which they were able to
overcome. After qualifying 17th, Kite
was able to get the car comfortable and was ready to make his move when tire
pressure issues caused the handling to go away. Eventually overheating issues
caused the Indy Line Stripe / Brownsburg Signs Beast-Chevy No. 25 to retire
after 3/4 mark. Kite remarked afterwards, “We were making progress on the guys
in front when we had some tire pressure issues that caused the car to get
looser than we wanted. Then the water
temp kept rising, so I brought it in rather than damage the engine.” Kite, a
native of Stockbridge, GA is keyed up for his first race on the dirt in several
years, “I’m excited driving in the Hoosier 100, to be part of an event with
such a storied history is pretty special.
I’ve driven some dirt races over the last several years, but this is my
first Silver Crown race on the dirt since 1997.
We learned a lot last week and look forward to putting on a great show
for the fans Friday evening.”
