The TVRCRC club in Kamloops, Canada hosted the Summer Classic this last weekend in 1/8th and 1/10th scale off-road classes. The race was held on a medium sized track that worked for both scales. The layout was pretty straight forward while it was smooth, but from past races it would be clear the track would get rough, as the race went on, and the track would become more challenging. Saturday was qualifying with three rounds throughout the day. The track would get slightly rougher throughout the day and it was Ty Tessmann who would take the TQs all 3 rounds of 1/8th Nitro Buggy and 1/10th 4WD Buggy. Sunday was main day and the track crew made some repairs to the track so for the first mains the track was a bit smoother than it was at the end of qualifying. The Nitro Buggy main was 30 minutes and the triple A 4WD mains were six minutes and in the end Ty would bring home the overalls in both categories to round out a perfect weekend.
