Sontag claims ROAR 1:8 eBuggy title

Team Losi Racing’s Tater Sontag is the new ROAR 1:8 eBuggy National Champion, the 1:10 2WD World Champion claiming the title at G’s RC Raceway in Pennsylvania over the weekend.  In qualifying it was the Team Associated of Spencer Rivkin who secured the overall TQ topping 3 of the 5 rounds of qualifying.  Fastest in Q1, Sontag would line up second with the Xray of Chase Lemieux completing the Top 3 with a TQ run in Q3.   In the triple finals, A1 would see Sontag make a pass on Rivkin on the opening lap before the Top Qualifier went out of the race after an early off that left a rear wheel hanging off his buggy.  Winning by over 5-seconds from Lemieux, in A2 Sontag would again took the early lead which he held for the 7-minutes to wrap up the title, last year won by the absent Ryan Maifield.  With Horne winning A3, the Team Associated driver would finish runner-up with Tekno’s Spencer Heckert completing the podium.  In Electric Truck (eTruggy), it was Sontag who took the TQ from Rivkin.  A1 saw Sontag convert but Rivkin would win A2 and 3 to take the title.  The pair where joined on the podium by the Associated of Lee Setser.
