Ari Heinonen wins at Winter Jumps Series Rd1

Helsinki’s PKSRCA club recently hosted round one of the Finnish Winter Jumps Series. With a record 100+ entries field the series started into the new season and in Sunday’s 4WD race it was newly signed Xray driver Joel Valander who took the pole position for the A-mains with the only 20 lap runs in the qualifiers. The first two A-mains then were very hard for the pole sitter as front tyre problems meant he could not hold Ari Heinonen (Team Durango) behind. With wins in A1 and A2 Ari thus secured the overall win while Joel would take the final A-main to secure the runner-up spot from Markku Honkanen (Team Durango).
