Race report by Renaud Savoya
Last weekend I traveled to Long Island for Big Apple nitro challenge. Rohan Grant and his crew put a lot of effort to organize the challenge on what is known as the best outdoor track in the New York area.

There were about 120 entries registered. I played a lot on the setup in order to find the best feeling for my XB8 and XB8E in these sandy/slippery/bumpy conditions.
After some mistakes in qualifying, I ended up 2nd in each class.

In nitro buggy, I made too many mistakes in order to fight with Adam Drake. After the 45 minutes main, I would go back home with a 2nd place. My car was great in the main, I had a lot of fun driving,it was handling the bumps amazingly!

In ebuggy, my XB8E was easy and fast from the beginning. I had some dramas in qualifications with my electronics but I knew I could win.

After the 2 legs Amain, I took my first win in this class out of France!
