Matt Waldin's Revelations: Hot like fire, Waldin scores another victory at DMCC

Hot like fire, Waldin scores another victory at DMCC
Round 4 Montmagny, QC Canada

West Chester, PA (PRWEB) Matt Waldin Racing backs up their win at
XDC last weekend with another first place finish at Round 4 of DMCC in
Montmagny Quebec Canada.

Matt Waldin states "Montmagny is one of my favorite tracks in the
series because of the strong entry on a slight bank, then into a technical
section and back out onto the power alley to the second bank for a smokey
finish. Fans love it because they can see everything and the pictures
from the event are always breathtaking from the beautiful landscape surrounding
the track."

Matt and crew got to the track on Friday night to get some practice time
in while the track was falling in temperature. Since Saturday's competition
was at night this was a critical step in preparing his setup for the main
event. His crew set the tire pressures low and were constantly adjusting
the car to get the most grip in the cool Canadian air. Once the car was
dialed in the crew logged the pressures and headed off for the evening.

On Saturday there was a long practice session where the crew once again
set the car up for warm track driving to get a good qualification score.
The anxious Canadian fans trickled in from 2pm and by 5pm the house was
completely packed. "This track always surprises me in terms of fan
turnout. The track is about an hour from any major city in the middle
of the countryside but these fans don't mind the drive - there is a good
show to watch," said Waldin. Qualifying fourth out of all the drivers,
the team was set and ready for competition. The sun set and the StreetGlow
neons were starting to illuminate the track for the main event. StreetGlow
stepped onboard to support the entire DMCC field for this one of a kind
night event.

The first round of competition Waldin would face Canadian native, Mats
Baribou. Baribou pilots a Toyota Chaser and has a lot of power to go along
with it. His lines are always ultra consistent and at the edge of the
track. Waldin leads first and puts down a qualifying-like run and Baribou
spins in his attempt to follow Matt's aggressive line. The drivers switch
position and Waldin sticks to Baribou's door like glue. Waldin takes the
win.

In the top eight, Waldin was bracketed up against Carl Nadeau in his
V8-powered BMW. Waldin had been beaten by Carl in the last round of DMCC
Round 4 and he was making sure that the same did not happen again. Nadeau
is a very fast driver so putting the 350z on his door would be Waldin's
biggest challenge in this battle. Matt led the race first again with a
clean run and the drivers switched positions. On the follow run Matt initiated
in his door and stuck on the BMW with everything that the 350z had. In
the second bank nearing the finish of the track Carl lost drift and then
regained it but it was too late, his back tires had hit the grass on the
edge of the track and sent him into a spin. Matt was closing in on the
BMW on the final section of the track and ended up smashing into Carl
at the finish line. The bad news was that the car was seriously damaged,
but the good news was that Matt moved on to the top four. The crew scrambled
to get the car back into the pits and get all the suspension checked out
before the next round. Luckily, the 350z sustained major body damage and
zero damage to wheels or suspension components. The whole team forced
Matt to ignore the damage to the car and would not even let him look at
the right side of the car until after the competition was over. After
stretching out his sore collar bone from the wreck, Matt took the car
for a "test drive" around the track to make sure that the car
was able to move forward in the competition. The car's suspension had
remained untouched, so the team coached Matt and got him lined up with
Pat Cyr for the final four of competition.

At this point Matt was a little shaken by the previous round but it was
time to put on the "game face" once again and line up against
Pat Cyr. Cyr has moved on over Waldin many times in the past so this was
going to be no easy battle. Matt lead first and put down an extremely
fast run. Matt concentrated on speed during this run since Cyr's Toyota
Corolla is lightning fast. Matt pulled it off! Cyr was unable to keep
up with the Z in drift and when Waldin stuck it on Cyr's door the entire
run. The team had moved onto the top two!

For the first place spot on the podium, Waldin would face "Steady
Freddy" Girard (2008 DMCC Champion). It was all or nothing now and
Matt stuck it on Girard's door throughout the entire course to claim the
win. On the follow run, Girard took out the first clipping point which
sealed the deal on the first place spot for the battered and bruised team
Waldin.
