Tessmann tops truggy practice at DNC

Defending Truggy champion Ty Tessmann set the pace in the one & only round of practice on the opening day of the Dirt Nitro Challenge at the Fear Farm in Arizona. After a 4-hour delay to the start of the 16th running of the Joey ‘The Dirt’ Christensen signature event, the HB driver set the fastest three consecutive laps over the SWorkz of Austin Blair, with new HB team-mate David Ronnefalk completing the Top 3. Originally set to run two rounds of practice, a total of 56 heats making up one complete round of all the 1:8 classes, the delayed start means that the second practice has been cut and now instead of reseeding the heats for Q1, they will now be reseed for Q2 based on the Q1 results.

Norwegian Electric Onroad Champs Rd4 – Report

The fourth round of the Norwegian Electric Onroad Championships was held in Gjøvik on a permanent track facility in the centre of the city. The event had 45 entries in total, divided in four classes with the main classes being 1/10 Touring Car Modified and 1/12th pan car. In the opening round of qualifying reigning Nordic Champion Nikolai Håheim and ETS A-finalist Helge Johannessen opened up the first laps swapping the lead, but after 5 laps Nikolai started to build up a 1.5 seconds gap which he held throughout the round. Nikolai took the overall TQ ahead of Helge in 2nd, followed by an impressive 3rd place for Rune Svestøl. Petter Bernsten, in a fight with Nikolai for the overall championship, would see himself struggling throughout the whole qualifying, as he felt uncomfortable the whole weekend with the track that he felt was too “technical for his driving style”.
