The 2010 Indonesia National Year End Race was held on 28Nov2010 at Maxpin RC track, Lembang, West Java. There were 2 classes at this event: Buggy Class (68 racers) and Truggy Class (16 racers). The race format was three rounds of 7min qualifying for each class.

For the finals there were 6 groups (A-F) for Buggy class and 1 group for Truggy class. The weather really unpredictable for a few days before the race, and rain fell the night before. Also we got heavy rain three times during qualifying rounds, which caused us to wait until 2 hours before the Truggy main final start.

There were 14 XRAY buggies and 5 XRAY truggies in this event. After qualifying rounds, I was 8th of 68 racers in Buggy Class, and 2nd of 16 racers in Truggy Class. The Truggy class final was the first final race, and we raced 30 minutes.

I start on the no.2 grid position. At the beginning the track was muddy and sticky, and I tried to push my car to get a better position. After 15 minutes, I can lead the race until the end. I lost two front body clips around 1 min before the race ended and it made the front of the car body fly up!

After 30 minutes of the Truggy Main Final, the race director gave only 5 minutes before the Buggy main final A. I started in the no.8 grid position Buggy final A grid, with a plan to race for 30 minutes. I tried to push the car, since driving the buggy on the sticky track wouldnâ™t be as easy as Truggy. But the rain fell after 15 minutes, so the race director decided to end the race at 20 minutes.
The race ended at Buggy final A and it wasn't possible to continue finals B-F.
