Olly Jeffries, who was forced to compete in 19T class after insufficient numbers in Modified, has taken TQ and won round 5 of the Carpet Thrashnals. Driving his Hot Bodies Cyclone, Olly struggled to get a balance in his car the whole event yet still managed to do well despite what turned out to be problems with his tyres.
I struggled with my set up for most of the day and my car never felt balanced, Russ looked very quick and put me under a lot of pressure, I had to adapt my driving style a little making sure I made no mistakes and hoping that others around me would make errors, this was the case and I was able to take FTD comfortably.

Xray have a report on their site from the second round of the the 2007 Israeli League that was held at the Ramat-eishay track in Israel. After qualifying 3rd Dan Price managed to fight to the top and take the win by 4.5 seconds ahead of Nir Sivan who finished 2nd with Yaniv Levi rounding out the podium.
At some point I overtook Yaniv only to be passed by him a few corners later in midair; he jumped and landed a few centimeters ahead of me… one of the best moments of the day! After mid-race Yaniv developed brake problems so he backed off a bit which left me and Nir to fight for the lead.

Top qualifier, Germany’s Ronald Voelker has won the 2007 running of the DHI Cup in Denmark by taking the win in his first 2 finals leaving the other racers only the runner up spots to fight for. The HotBodies racer lead home former World Champion Marc Rheinard in 2nd driving his Tamiya with current World Champion Andy Moore with another HotBodies Cyclone in 3rd. It seems that this new 5 cell ruling suits Volker and we are sure to see more from him in the future and also note worthy was that Volker won the event with a brushless system and there were 6 brushless systems in the A final.
