Maifield, Rivkin & Martin win opening 4WD encounter

The opening round of 4WD at the Reedy Race of Champions would produce wins for Ryan Maifield, Spencer Rivkin and Lee Martin but the big news of the round was the bad results for TLR’s Dustin Evans and Dakotah Phend.  First and second in the points at the end of 2WD and lining up in the same first 4WD encounter, Evans would struggle from 7th on the grid ending up only 6th while Phend, who was chasing down Rivkin for the race lead, who break on lap 6 at the same piece of track where he had a break in 2WD yesterday.  Opening the first of the six rounds of 4WD, Martin would take a tone to tone win over Ty Tessmann, both having started off the front row.  In the second race Maifield would somehow survive a roll on the straight to win ahead of Jared Tebo and long time race leader Brian Kinwald.  In Race 3 Rivkin had a good battle with Kyle McBride with Ryan Cavalieri looking to be getting into the mix from 8th on the grid until a mistake on the penultimate lap meant he had to settle for third.
