The last 8 mins of Buggy A main, Maifield vs. King
With TQ going to Jared Tebo, he looked like the man to beat once again on a track that can only be compared to the surface of the moon with the amount of ruts, holes and loose sandy surface. As the main got under way Ryan Maifield quickly took over the top spot ahead of Tebo. Maifield led for some time as Tebo’s continued troubles would drop him back allowing World Champion Cody King and Team Durango’s Ryan Lutz by. At the front of the pack it was an all out brawl for the lead. Kyosho’s Cody King would prove that his World Championship win wasn’t just luck as he charged to the front ahead of Ryan Maifield and Ryan Lutz. King and Maifield battling back and forth saw the pair make several mistakes, swapping the lead constantly. Pro Truck winner, Ty Tessman, suffered a flame out with only 5 minutes to go. With less than 3 minutes to go Cody crashed, losing the lead to Ryan Maifield, but Maifield perhaps losing concentration crashed as well handing the lead back to King almost instantly. After tumbling on the big front triple, King once again passed the lead over to Maifield. Ryan then had a gap behind to King as a buffer and set into cruise control mode, slow but no mistakes, Cody was catching Ryan with a few corners to go but suffered a flame out and couldn’t complete the last corners of the lap. Maifield with the new suspension setup on his buggy is looking very solid with one of his favourite races just round the corner in England… Strong result for Lutz in 3rd after a bit of a tough start with the Durango.
Tessmann: TQ & Win in truggy
Ty Tessman has been a charging force in the truck class lately, as he wrapped up the ROAR Nationals truggy win two weeks ago at Thunder Alley. After a big TQ at this year’s Silver State, Tessman brought the heat to 1/8 Truck A-Main! Tebo (buggy class TQ), would start 6th, but quickly make his way to the front with Tessman. Destruction and disaster would strike four of the a-main drivers throughout the 45 minute main. Castellano, Truhe, Cavalieri, and Lutz, would all see their chance for the win ended with a DNF. As the finish tone sounded Ty Tessman, Jared Tebo, and Cody King would finish up top 3!
