Hayato & Kuwata win at JMRCA 1/12th nationals

This past weekend the 2014 Japanese 1/12th nationals were held at a purpose-built track in Fukuoka. The Modified class had Naoto Matsukura taking the TQ for the finals and it looked like the multi-national champion would make its 8th 1/12th national title in a row, but runner-up after the qualifiers, Ishioka Hayato denied him the title to take the 2014 championship. Hideo Kitazawa came in 2nd while Naoto Matsukura ultimately had to settle for 3rd. The Stock class had Takayuki Kuwata taking the TQ and win from Naoki Kuroda and Yamaguchi Tokusu.
