. I only ran Pro Nitro buggy in the series as that is my favorite class in 1:8th. There were 42 different drivers in that class with lots of top guys from all around Texas. In the first round I was able to take the win after starting 2nd. Two weeks later the second round was up and I was able to take the top spot in qualifying but ran into some bad luck in the main. The third round was up and I had already planned a race outside of the series so I wasn't able to attend.

After about a month break for the holidays it was time to go back to racing! In this fourth round I was starting to test some of the new XB8'17 parts and start learning what the new car was going to be like. It started off well as I was able to take TQ. In the warm up of the main my steering servo went out and put a end to my main before it even started.

In the 5th round I had my car feeling really good with all the new parts. At the end of qualifying I was able to TQ but in the main I made to many mistakes and finished third.
In round 6 I would qualify 2nd to teammate Noah Dickerson and finish 2nd.
With round 7 being the last round of the series all I needed to do was qualify and finish on a good spot. The first round didn't start off great as I made too many mistakes and would get a 5th for the round. 2nd round I was able to make a cleaner run and finish second. In the third I was within 1 second of TQ and caught up to lap traffic and that slowed me down as i didn't want to get into a crash. In the mains I was running a pretty clean race till I made a mistake and went out side the track and lost a few spots. Was down to 6th and worked my way back to 2nd to take the overall win in the series!!
