Chad Bradley dominates Canadian Winter Nationals

Canadian Winternationals

Yesterday we told you about the Canadian Winternationals that were held at an indoor facility last weekend in Red Deer, Alberta. Gary Guest may have been all dominant in the qualifying for the race but it was his Jammin team mate Chad Bradley that took the win in both Buggy and Truggy classes ahead of Gary Guest who finished 2nd in both classes. In the 1/10th stadium truck class it was Richard Mucha that won the event despite finishing behind Jay Halsey, who won the race but was racing with a 1/12th 4wd Jammin CRT-5 and so wasn’t officially classified.

More results to follow soon.
