Returning to Anaheim has
more meaning this year than ever before for Grave Digger driver Carl Van Horn.
It means “redemption.” Two years ago the Elizabeth City, North Carolina native,
stepped foot onto Angel Stadium for the first time with high hopes of wowing
the crowd with 90-seconds of his own choreographed high-flying and rip-roaring
routine during the Freestyle event, but midway through his spotlight, he
crashed and did not finish.
After a two-year, long-awaited
return to Southern California, Van Horn raced his way into the Championship on
January 11 defeating Time Fly’s in the finale to bring home the trophy for Team
Grave Digger.
“I felt I owed it to the
City of Anaheim,” said Van Horn, “and wanted to make up for the crash in 2012.”
While Van Horn fell short of the Freestyle event this year, racing and winning
in the championship round more than made up for his defeat two years ago. “I
did it for the crowd. They expected big things and big crashes and I was happy
to deliver.”
