Matt Conrad, in the Phoenix F1K.07 prototype established a new FB track record at Firebird Raceway while also capturing two National wins on March 8th and 9th. The new track record of 56.6 seconds is nearly a full second lower than the previous track record (also held by Conrad). "We went into this event with the goal of winning both races and re-setting the track record, and we accomplished both of those goals" said Conrad, General Manager of the company that builds the cars. "Everything we did to improve the car and driver this weekend worked" he continued, "and there is much more in the car....but maybe not the driver. The car is not holding me back from going faster, I'm holding the car back".
Conrad took a insurmountable lead in the SCCA SOPAC Division standings and will capture his first Division title as a driver and the first for the Phoenix F1000 car.
Here's a 5-minute video of the highlights...and maybe one lowlight (spin...driver error) from Sunday's race. Unfortunately, the microphone failed to deliver sound so music has been dubbed over the footage.
