KCRL Season 11 LMP3 Challenge Long Beach
Round 4 of the Kanas City Racing League's LMP3 challenge hopped over to the west coast to tackle the Long Beach Street Circuit. With 38 cars on the grid over 3 classes, a bit of chaos was expected, but only a little ended up happening. Chris Becco and Drake Smith fought for the lead of the Pro class through the early stages of the race, but Chris' fuel strategy ended up winning out and he took the win in the Pro class. Matt Stallcup held on for the win after a late charge from Michael Hamilton in the Pro/AM class. And Benjamin Gallant took home the win in the AM class. A lap 13 incident involving 5 cars brought out a safety car that really through a monkey wrench into the strategies of most of the drivers. All in all, it was an entertaining romp around Long Beach. Next week is round 5 at Laguna Seca. Check out the class podiums and the broadcast link below.
