Novotny & Bidovsky win at Czech EP Buggy Nats Rd4
The fourth round of the Czech 1/10th Buggy Nationals was held in Usti nad Labemn on a huge astroturf track. Xray’s Kaja Novotny would grab the overall TQ in 2WD thanks to winning Q2 and Q3 after suffering problems in the opening qualifier. In the 4WD category, Kaja was in a league of his own, taking all qualifiers to grab the overall TQ and pole position for the finals. The young man continued to dominate in the 2WD A-main events, eventually winning A1 and A2 to take the overall win early. Xray teammate Ales Bidovsky would have to settle for the runner-up spot while Marek Schiller (PR) completed the top 3 result.
