Qualifying
The qualifying was good for team, but we could have done better. I qualified second after making wrong tire choice, but second is still a very good result so I donâ™t complain. Dan Price had engine trouble in one of the heats and the other heat was ok and he qualified sixth.
A very good result achieved by Ronen Alkalay who qualified fifth.
Closing the top ten were Paul Price, Meir Azulay, seventh and eighth position, and Asi Bitton Tenth.
In the Truggy class, Meir Azulay qualified fifth, and Erez Even-Hen qualified eleventh. |

In buggy class, Paul Price had very good result on the odd semi final, as he finished second, and Ronen Alakalay finished fourth.
I the even semi final, I finished first, Dan Price second, and Asi Bitton missed the bump up by only five seconds.
In the A final, I started first and held it until the first pit stop, while Yaniv Levy who was second was on better pit strategy and took the lead. Later I passed him again and took the lead back, stretching the gap and finishing a lap ahead in first place.
Dan and Paul Price had technical issues, Dan finished fourth. Paul didnâ™t finish and ended up in eighth place. Ronen Alkalay performed very well all day and finished fifth. |
