Kyle Turner doubles at Harvest Classic

Empire RC Raceway of Brentwood, California held their annual Harvest Classic race last weekend, attracting over 100 entries for the multiple 1/8th off-road and single 4×4 SCT classes. In Expert Nitro Buggy it was Kyosho’s CJ Jelin with the overall TQ from Team Associated’s Gonzalo Cortez on the runner-up spot. In the 45-minute main there was some close battling in the first couple laps for the top spot between the top guys. When everything got more spread out Kyle Turner (Xray) and CJ Jelin had a good battle going back and forth once again for about ten to 15 minutes until CJ had a mechanical problem. Throughout the main Kyle had a pretty consistent run, mixed with some mistakes, but he still drove pretty well and ended up taking the win in the end as Gonzalo came in 2nd, some four laps down and Steve Noack (Kyosho) came in 3rd, another three laps behind.

Finals also went Brown’s way, by taking the first two leg wins, giving him the overall win for the day. It was then down to who would complete the podium and in which order. John Painter had looked fast all day and lined up 2nd of the grid with a chasing Lee Hedges on 3rd. After the 3-leg finals – and with Brown not participating in the 3rd – where tight close battles took place on track in all legs, the podium would conclude the same as the grid start with Stephen Brown on top followed by John Painter and Lee Hedges.

Sturdy & Selvaggi win Australian 1/10th Off-road Nats

The 2019 1/10 Jay Leno’s Garage Offroad Australian Nationals were held at the Keilor club in Melbourne, Australia recently.

Mother nature made life difficult with very hot and windy conditions during practice and 2WD day, and unfortunately heavy rain which forced the cancellation of the 4WD and truck classes. In 2WD Modified Chris Sturdy was the defending champ and hot favourite for the title, however in qualifying he was pushed hard by Lachlan Donnelly who took Q3 and was leading much of Q4. Chris was able to take TQ from Lachlan, Jordan Isergin and Lachlan Munday, with Ari Bakla 5th.
