Tamiya

2022 club champ, Aaron, picked up from where he left off and dominated the day with 4 wins but was pushed hard by a new driver who is a very competent rock crawling driver but has decided to give this onroad thingy racing a go, Scott (Scoot Scoot) drove really well and hounded Aaron in all the races with four 2nd's. Paul drove really well and took 3rd place.

Mini

It was a small field of Mini's but never the less the racing was super close between Gary and young Jaxon. At the end of the day both drivers were square on 297 points and each had two wins and 2 2nds each so Mr Tie-Breaker was called in to adjudicate with honors going to Gary followed by Jaxon.

The Kyosho class has continued to grow in popularity so much so that we have had to split it up into: Juniors, Novice and Pro. The racing is very close in each class as it comes down to nerve and concentration.

Juniors

Its always fun to see the juniors race, the thrill and excitement in there eyes, the innocent joys. 12 year old Jaxon & young gun Max had great racing between them but it was Jaxon that took the win and the Dixon sisters were tied for 3rd

It was a great battle between long time racer Ron and newbie Roger, they were trading places and each had two 1sts and two 2nds and they were tied on 297 points and it was the yellow Lambo of Roger taking the win over Rons Bugatti. Paul boxer was hanging in the shadows ready to pounce if the 2 lead drivers made an error.
