Shay Brand successful at Halloween Havoc Retro Race

This past weekend Loganville RC Speedway hosted the Halloween Havoc Retro Race. Instead of IFMAR style qualifying, the organizers went back to the old school gate starts. It was really fun to experience the gate starts again, and really made for some exciting qualifiers. There were also no Pro and Sportsman classes, it was just Buggy and Truggy with the event attracting around 85 entries. In the Buggy class and after some crazy qualifying, Team Associated’s Shay Brand took the TQ. In the main, Shay was able to get a pretty good start, but got shuffled around a little after a few turns. He was able to find his way back to the front though and never looked back to take the overall win for the race.
