After a warm day yesterday which turned into a chilly evening today we have overcast skies and lower temps. The 45 min Expert Amain for truggy just finished with Ryan Maifield taking the win, with Billy Fischer 2nd and Dylan Rodriguez claiming 3rd despite a flame out, 4th Matt Schreffler after losing out on the last lap due to an errant team manager’s (Losi) car. Bad luck but a great duel between Dylan (who TQ’d) and Matt.
Expert Buggy Amain: The start and first few laps were a complete mess with mistakes healthily sprinkled with take-outs – Ryan M had the lead infront of Cavalieri, albeit for 8 laps only before pulling off with center driveshaft issues. Cavalieri looked comfortable in the lead at first with Truhe in 2nd, only for his car’s handling seeming to get worse each lap, clearly battling a with the car Cavalieri fell backwards. This promoted Truhe, also in the mix was Ty Tessmann and Cody King behind in 3rd. On the face of it the track looked a bit bumpy but nothing the cars couldn’t handle but it was clear many cars were struggling with their handling, not so for Cody King who opened up an insurmountable lead. There were a few cat n’ mouse battles behind but he had 1st place in the bag despite a late splash n dash. Ty Tessmann’s hard work and steady driving paid off as he had a gap to Truhe in 3rd, but Pavidis was closing in with a better looking car. Cue a great to and fro fight which ended the way of Pavidis – taking the final podium spot. Perhaps we are seeing a crescendo in form with Pattaya only weeks away… ? All in all a deserved win for Cody who only just made it into the ‘A’ after quali but was by some margin the best performer in the main.
