USAC Permit 2013-3230 (Part 3) - Arland Macasieb To Make History!

Now it's time for Arland Macasieb to shine!

Arland's first time on the track was just 5 days before and after a day he arrived. Coach Kevin Phillips was there for him. Arland was very surprised how difficult it was to keep up with the pace given that he only had a limited time to warmup. He also had difficulty with the banking. He mentioned that it felt like riding on a wall! But no worries, as the limited days progressed, he adjusted really well and looked very promising.

Here are just a few of the great action shots by John Salangsang of John Photography and more professional shots by Gus Sarmiento, Roehl Rosales, and a few more for sure.
