DANVILLE, CA JUNE 10, 2014 Jason Scherer’s brand new IFS car is going to be a strong contender in the upcoming Ultra4 series races, as proven by it’s excellent performance at this weekends MetalCloak Ultra4 Stampede race. Started a short 3 months ago after the finish of the King of the Hammers, “The Gavel” hit dirt for the very first time on it’s way to Friday’s Tech Inspection where it passed with flying colors. Scherer finished 12th in the main event, after racing up to the lead with just a half of lap to go. “It was great to see Tom Wayes in the winners circle in the same car that won last years Stampede!” said Jason Scherer, the 2013 MetalCloak Stampede winner. “We had our fair share of little issues that we had to work out on the new car this weekend. Today’s race was a bit bittersweet, knowing the car is awesome and with a little tuning is a top contender. But, also knowing that just making a normal pass or probably following the lapper would have been good enough for the win in the car’s debut race. A little prep, some tuning, and some small mods and we will be ready for Glen Helen on July 11th!” (more…)
