This weekend saw the ROAR Region 10 Championships run at Colorado Fast Track in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Racers from around the Region came to compete for the championship and it was Team Losi’s Lars Johnson who was on early form to defend his Regional titles from 2008 in the Pro Buggy and Pro Truggy classes, TQ’ing the first couple rounds in both classes.
