Ron White Racing Shifter Masters Sunday
The Ron White Racing ROK Shifter Masters class was decided by a holeshot. Saturday winner Cliff Kujala (Pure / Tony Kart) was able to record fast time in qualifying, however, lost the launch off the line in the Prefinal to defending champion Kevin Woods (RWR / CRG). In the Final, Woods again got off the line solid where Kujala fell back to fifth in the opening turn. Kujala charged back up to the second spot, and eventually reeled in Woods in the closing laps. He ran out of time as Woods held on after 20 laps to claim his first victory of the weekend. Pushing Kujala to the distance was Alan Morte (RWR / CRG), coming back in the Final from a broken shifter linkage to a second podium result on the weekend. Jonathan Vitolo (GFC / Trackmagic) crossed the line in fourth but was penalized for impeading, dropping him down to sixth to move up Nick Firestone (GFC) to fourth and Bud Grossenbacher (Zanardi) into fifth.
