Toxic Podium Dominance at North American Championships
While Justin is no stranger to the podium, Ronnie hasnt had the success Justin has found, until now. Riding an old beat up buttboard, found laying in Justin's garage, and Justin's old yellow TRS sled, Ronnie was a force to be reckoned with this weekend. Qualifying Justin equipped his luge with the brand new GPS Magnum 88s and they rode well in qualifying, putting him a mere 7 tenths behind Brian Lee, 3rd place on the charts. Ronnie was riding severely worn Flywheels and wound up 6th.

The change was obvious when on the final practice run of morning warmup Ronnie came flying into the corner nailing the perfect line giving him loads of confidence for the rest of the day. Justin and Ronnie raced together in the semi-final round of street luge, playing it safe as they both wanted to guarantee they both transfered, with Justing crossing the line just in front of Ronnie. That sent them onto the finals with Brian Lee and Chris McBride. Brian jumped out to an early lead with his strong paddle off the line. Ronnie slotted in second just behind Brian with Justin in 3rd and McBride right on Justin's tail. McBride got ahead of Justin just before the chicane and was looking to make a move on Ronnie going into the 90. Ronnie shut the door and dove in after Brian. Justin had a smoother line through the corner than Ronnie and Chris in front of him and managed to pass both of them on corner exit, finishing a few lengths behind Brian. It was a wild finish that Justin was sure wasn't going to end well with all the riders so close together but everyone made it through clean. Street Luge Results: 1. Brian Lee 2. Justin Tolman 3.

Both Justin and Riley ran nearly the exact same line at the same speed, resulting in Riley maintaining his position and earning the victory. Meanwhile, Christian made a divebomb pass on Ronnie in the 90 but just couldnt hold the inside line, sliding out into the hay, allowing Ronnie to take final podium position. Classic Luge Results: 1.

Toxic Bro In Training and Ohio Update

Rick and Justin spent the past Sunday training a new rider, Albert. He is very eager and excited to learn the sport. He caught on quick reaching 40 mph in just his second run. He should be ready to go racing by the time the Bonelli Regionals resume later in the year. Keep your eyes open for this fast newcomer.

I purchased my ticket to Ohio the other day hoping to catch the prices while they are low. I paid $300 round trip, hopefully that was a good deal. This will be my first race that I fly to (as well as my first time ever on a real airplane) and my first race east of the Mississippi. I can't wait for the race after hearing about all the fun everyone had in the Euro races. Counting down the days.....
