Series Race #6
Senior Rotax
The third package of the GoPro Indy
Sonoma "Total Access" passes went to
the Senior Rotax winner, making sure
the competition for the win was going to
be high. Carlos Calderon took the pole
ahead of Nic LeDuc and Jarrett Lile. In
the first heat, LeDuc took the lead early in
the race and pulled out a one second win
over Calderon with Lile edging out Brody
Zink for the third spot. In the second heat,
LeDuc again took an early lead and held it
for the win with Sean McDonald getting by
Carlos Calderon to take the second spot.
The Main proved to be a very interesting
race for the 2nd spot, but Leduc was the
constant, taking the lead at the start and
held a two second lead to take the win.
The battle behind LeDuc was the real race
in more ways than just good racing as it
turned out. Calderon, McDonald, Lile and
Zink all held the 2nd spot during the race
but by the end , McDonald came home
2nd, ahead of Calderon and Lile with Zink
fading back to 7th in the end. But the Tech
gods did not shine on LeDuc on this day
thus McDonald was elevated to the win,
Calderon 2nd, Lile 3rd and Tazio Ottis 4th.
McDonald took home the two "Total Access"
passes to the upcoming Indy race.
