Kenny Kong wins at Dog Days of Summer race 2

The recent Dog Days of Summer round 2, hosted by The Track in Gaithersburg, Maryland, was run with a somewhat condensed format of only two qualifiers and a single bump-up A-main. With around 110 entries the traction had really come up between qualifying rounds and especially for the mains, a lot of people would start to have issues with traction rolling. From the tone Kenny Kong (Yokomo) was leading the 4WD Buggy race, however after a troubled opening laps it was Adam Vink (Xray) in 2nd. Adam got right behind Kenny and tried making a pass, but tapped a pipe and didn’t have enough time to catch back up to him. Ultimately it was Kenny in 1st with Adam 2nd and Tekno driver Paul Rush in 3rd. Frank Deiny and Omar Ladenburg would round out the top 5.
