*February 22, 2026 – Wolfram raceway*

In a whirlwind of whirring motors, hairpin turns, and enough battery power to light up a small city, the 1/28 Winter Series #4 exploded onto the “Tight Squeeze” track at Wolfram RC Raceway yesterday, February 21, 2026. With 27 entries from 15 fearless drivers battling across five electrifying classes, this wasn’t just a race—it was a mini-mayhem masterpiece! From novice newbies dodging cones to pro-level pilots pushing LiPo limits, the event clocked in over 2,272 laps of pure adrenaline. And spoiler alert: one driver turned the competition into his personal playground.

Picture this: a carpeted battlefield where tiny RC cars zip around like caffeinated squirrels. The day kicked off with two nail-biting qualifying rounds, starting at high noon (okay, 12:39 PM) and wrapping up by 2:36 PM. Classes like Lipo Stock (2500) and 3500 Gt (Lipo) were so packed they needed two heats each, while the single-heat showdowns in Box Stock Mini-Z and Nimh Open kept things snappy. Drivers hustled for pole positions, setting the stage for the A-Main spectacles that followed.

The mains? Oh, they were epic 5-minute timed races, wrapping up by 3:44 PM. Let’s zoom in on the highlights:

Box Stock Mini-Z: Charlie Bradford owned this one, lapping 36 times in 5:00.426 with a blistering best of 7.512 seconds. Gerry Burr nipped at his heels in second, while Zach Fauble fought valiantly for third.

Lipo Stock (2500): Kurt Benson channeled his inner speed demon, clinching first with 43 laps and a speedy 6.953 best. Junior grabbed second, and Chris S rounded out the podium, with tight racing across the field!

3500 Gt (Lipo): Kurt Benson doubled down on dominance, snagging another win with 46 laps. But Gerry Burr wasn’t far behind in second, and Junior took third. David Bradford and Jim Hiatt kept it close!

AAA Sportsman: Gerry Burr flipped the script here, storming to victory with 41 laps and a 6.377 best. Chris S and David Bradford followed in a tight second and third. Brian Godwin and Zach Fauble rounded it out, but Burr’s 92.63% consistency was the stuff of legends.

Novice: Brian led the charge with 27 laps, besting Tuesday Simmons and Milo Simmons in a family-friendly frenzy, the vibes were all about fun and learning curves—literally!

Now, for the big reveal: Who ruled the roost? Drumroll… Gerry Burr! This multi-class maestro raced in *four* categories, snagging one win, two seconds, and a fourth—racking up more points than a high-score arcade game. Kurt Benson’s dual wins were impressive, but Burr’s versatility and rock-solid stats (think 87-92% consistency and laps that screamed speed) made him the undisputed king of the track.

And let’s not forget the underdogs and multi-taskers like Junior, Chris S, and yes, Jake Tuel, who juggled two classes with grit and a best lap of 6.156 that turned heads. With no major crashes reported (phew!), the event was a testament to skill, strategy, and that sweet RC camaraderie.

As the Winter Series heats up, Wolfram RC Raceway promises more twists and turns. If you’re itching for the thrill, grab your controller—next stop, glory! Until then, keep those batteries charged, racers. Vroom vroom!
