Cavalieri Sweeps JBRL Nitro Series
Team Orion Factory Driver Ryan Cavalieri has just swept the Jimmy Babcock Racing League (JBRL) Nitro Series!
The JBRL Nitro Series hit one track every month for the past eight months. Points were awarded to each driver by their finishing order for each round. Each round also offered one bonus point for each race attended and another bonus point for overall TQ in each class. Throughout the entire series the battle for the Championship was between Team Orion Factory Drivers Ryan Cavalieri and Cody King. Both Ryan and Cody missed one round due to a racing conflict, so they only had one throw-out. Each driver had to take their six best finishes out of seven. In the Pro Buggy Class the Championship came down to the last round at Hot Rod Hobbies. Cavaleri went on to win the main event which then tied him and Cody for the overall win. The tie break went to throw-outs where Cavalieri edged out King by only one point. Team Orion had five engines in the top 10 for the overall series making it half the field!
