In the Mini Monster class, Zack dominated, winning all 3 qualifiers [some by 2 laps], and went on to win the main .
In 4wd brushless class, Zack qualified in 4th, in what turned out to be the fastest and most competitive class of the whole weekend. The race began with Zack quickly moving up to second position, where he followed for several laps. The leader had a bobble allowing Zack to pass where he ran in 1st for almost the rest of the race. Near the end of the race Zack got put into the rails, and by the time the marshall got him back on his wheels he had dropped back to 5th position, where he finished the race.
This was a Great race, and once again Zack and XRAY showed their quality and performance.
