Jamieson from McBride in opening Asian Buggy C/ships qualifier
Sworkz’s Jayden Jamieson has taken the first qualifier at the season opener of the Asian Buggy Championships, a last lap bobble costing Kyle McBride a TQ run at the New Zealand event. Opening the first of the four rounds of qualifying strong to set the early pace, a mistake on lap 3 cost around him 3-seconds and he dropped to 4th but laying down the fastest lap of the run he hauled himself back to the top of the timing screens to go back ahead of Jamieson. As the only two drivers to go 10-laps, as McBride came around for his final run down the straight his Team Associated got crossed up, enough for the Aussie to eventually cross the loop 7/10ths of a second in deficit to his Kiwi rival. Behind Top Seed Caleb Noble salvaged a Top 3, the Tekno driver’s set-up not ideal for today’s warmer midday conditions. In eBuggy, Top Seed Kasey Dawson carried his pace through from yesterday with his WIRC registering the first TQ run ahead of brothers Logan and Dylan Toia.
