Jorge Chacon wins Bolivian Nationals finale

The final round of the Bolivian 1/8th Off-road Nationals was held in Cochabama over the weekend. The tight and technical track with many jumps and a very big double made for challenging conditions as did the lack of oxygen, 8000 ft. above sea level. JQRacing’s Joseph Quagrain, who is on a South America tour currently, took the overall TQ after winning the final three qualifiers and he was also leading the 30-minutes A-main final until, after having already lapped the field, he collided with a competitor’s car landing the big double which damaged the engine of JQ’s car, ultimately ending his race. This made way for young Jorge Chacon (JQRacing) who kept his cool and took the win in front of Wilson Cuellar (HB Racing) 2nd and Carlos Guerra (JQRacing) 3rd.
