Raymond doubles at 2024 Kinwald Klassic

Hobby Action RC Raceway in Chandler, Arizona, played host to the 5th annual Kinwald Klassic where young Team Associated driver Levi Raymond completed the double.  One of the 2023 IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championship host venue’s two big annual events, the other being the Desert Classic, the Kinwald Klassic is held in honour of Offroad RC great Brian Kinwald.  Decided over 3 rounds, qualifying would see Matthew Gonzales secure the 2WD Mod Buggy TQ ahead of Chase Boyd while in 4WD it was Raymond who secured the top spot from Gonzales.  In the triple finals, all three counting, 2WD would see three different winners but winning A2 it was P4 qualifier Levi Raymond that took the win over A1 winner Gonzales with his brother Chase Raymond completing the podium.  In 4WD Buggy, Raymond would win A1 & 2 and finish P2 in the third encounter to complete the double again with Gonzales and Chase either side of him on the podium.  The biggest winner of the event however was the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation who in Brian’s name received over $5,000 from collections during the event – well done to everyone involved.
