Team AMSOIL oval ice racer PJ Wanderscheid continued his dominance in the Champ 4
40 class this past weekend. Wanderscheid headed north of the border to Beausejour, Manitoba for the 48th running of the Canadian Power Toboggan Championship.While Wanderscheid has never won in Beausejour, he has been the strongest 440 racer on the circuit since finishing second at the AMSOIL Eagle River World Championship in mid-January.
After a full day of testing on Friday, Wandersheid continued to dial in his Champ 440sled against in the more powerful 600 Open class on Saturday. Qualifying sixth, Wandersheid grabbed the hole shot, but the higher horse
powered 600's took advantage on the long track, pushing the three time World Champion back to fourth by the final flag.In Champ 440, it was back to his winning ways. Wanderscheid swept all four rounds of qualifying against a very stack field. As the number one qualifier, Wanderscheid grabbed the lead in turn one and never looked back. At the finish, he had opened up an 11-second lead over second place for his first career win in Manitoba.
"This track has never been good to us," said Wanderscheid. "But we found a great set-up a
few weeks ago and our confidence was sky-high heading into our final event. We want to thank everyone who made this year a success, including AMSOIL, Drift and Arctic Cat."Wanderscheid won seven feature races, including the Friday Night Thunder Sweet 16 race in Eagle River. He also won the Central Wisconsin Triple Crown and the Canadian Championship.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
