Action Hobbies Kingsville, outside Windsor, Ontario, Canada hosted their third annual March Meltdown March 16-18.
Racers from Ontario and Michigan were present to test their skills on the fast-yet-technical layout on the Action Hobbies Kingsville track.
Through practice and qualifying the high speed and flowing turns of the track showed that a premium would be placed on precision and consistency.
Andy Vetor secured TQ in both stock and 19T with his XRAY, showing that in the hands of a skilled tuner/driver it is still a competitive car. |

Aaron Straus took the TQ in modified with his T2, Jeff Dease drive his M18 to TQ in micro On-road, while Xray Canada team driver Wayne Vince TQ'd both micro offroad with his M18T .
In the mains, the top qualifiers were all able to defend their positions, but not without a fight. |

| In the Stock A-Main, Xray Canada team driver Scott Smither was able to squeeze by Andy Vetor early in the race. As the race continued it became a tactical match as Smither carved razor sharp lines through the turns, while Vetor smoothly drove an only very slightly more conservative path, waiting for a bobble. That bobble came with about a minute left as Smither lightly brushed a ripple on a board in a sweeping turn forcing him off his line and allowing Vetor to sneak by. |
