| F1000 Championship: McLaughlin Takes Round Four at NJMP |
Brandon Dixon got the jump on the start of the fourth round of the Formula 1000 Championship Series on Sunday (June 10) at the New Jersey Motorsports Park, but it was Bill McLaughlin that came out the winner.
Dixon in his Citation led the first 12 laps of the race until engine issues sidelined him near turn seven. Several drivers, including Glenn Cooper, had a bad start, which saw Cooper in his Hell No Kitty Firman exit the race after six laps with mechanical issues. JR Osborne also parked his Stohr after two laps with a sour engine.
Alex Mayer in the Elan DP-04 was running strong in the front pack until an electrical problem sent him out of the race on lap seven.
But it was McLaughlin in the RFR/AIM/Pro-Shift Firman that took control over the remaining laps, walking away from the pack, with Richard Franklin in the Waterfall Security Solutions Stohr, who also won the Rilltech Hard Charger Award, and Jason Slahor in his Van Diemen finishing in second and third respectfully.
Brothers Peter and Ivin Seabrook rounded out the top-five.
