JP Richards dominates Thanksgiving Bash

Last weekend’s Thanksgiving Bash took place at CRCRC Raceway in Columbus, Ohio. CRCRC boasts some of the toughest competition in the Mid West, with factory drivers from Associated, Kyosho, X-Factory and Losi in attendance, and so this was a great test for TQ Racing’s new SX102W buggy. JP Richards TQ’d every round and went on to win the 2wd class with the SX102W ahead of X-Factory driver Dan Griffin in 2nd and Team Losi driver Curtis May in 3rd.

Honigl TQ’s and wins Expert World GT in Cleveland

Calandra Racing Concepts drivers Hupo Honigl and Aaron Buran finished 1-2 at the 30th Annual U.S. Indoor Championship in Cleveland, Ohio. Both drivers used the CRC Gen-X 10 car to take a convincing win in the hotly contested World GT division. From pole position, Hupo led every lap and was not pressured until very late in the run when a charging Buran really started to close in. Buran worked through traffic and found himself hot on the heels of the T.Q. driver Honigl by the end of the race.

Volker takes opening qualifier in Hungary

Yokomo team driver Ronald Volker has TQ’d the opening round of qualifying here in Budapest where the Top 4 drivers were separated by just 1.7 seconds. The German ace, who opted to run the prototype LiPo chassis BD5, said he wasn’t the fastest on track but keeping the run clean had given him the valuable maximum points for the round as he topped the time sheets by 2/10ths from Xray’s Teemu Leino. Leino reported his T3 as having a little push but was OK with second, having also taken a cautious approach to his driving.
