Team Serpent sweeps Puerto Rico Rd 10
 
The 10th round was ran last weekend, with a beautiful day and not one drop of rain. Traction was good from start to finish.  Juan C. "My Bad" Rodriguez took TQ and won the sedan class.
 
The A-main was a very close one, at the beginning of the race Juan C.Rodriguez had radio trouble and lost almost 2 minutes in the pit. After coming out of the pits, it was a battle against time in order to reach the front of the pack again. Meanwhile, it was an intense battle between Mugen Team Driver Andy Baez and Serpent Team Driver Geovannie Gonzalez for the first place in the first half of the race. Further up ahead, Andy Baez had to retire due to mechanical problems. Around the 40 minute mark, the three pole positions were Serpent Team Drivers, Juan C, Geovannie Gonzalez and Jesus Rivera. With a few minutes to go, Geovannie encountered some problems which opened up the chance for Jesus Rivera to take 2nd place.
