| Act 2 of the XRAY Challenge Korea was held on a beautiful fall day, Oct 23rd, at the GR Raceway located in Kyunggido Wkasung near Seoul (capital of Korea). The weather was sunny, but the temperature was quite cold (50°F). Approximately 60 racers attended this event. |

| There were several important points made before starting racing 'XRAY Challenge Korea Act 2'. First of all, Martin Hudy and Jilles Groskamp were invited to the event so that the Modified class would be a very close battle. Second, we were setting out to prove the superior performance of the XRAY T1FK'05 since the Stock class supplied a 19T regulated motor; we were trying to entice other manufacturersâ™ cars to the race. Finally, we expected the M18 class to be tougher than previous racing. |

| There were three classes at this event: 1/10 EP Touring Stock class, 1/10 EP Touring Mod, and 1/18 EP Touring Super Mod Class. Eight groups made this race: 4 groups for Stock, 3 groups for Modified, and 1 group for 1/18. There were three rounds of elimination matches (5 minute heats) for each group. |

| In 1/10 Modified, many XRAY drivers (including Martin and Jilles) showed the superior performance of XRAY. XRAY cars took high positions through the 1st ~ 6th rankings, which was a much better result compared to the previous XRAY Challenge Korean Act 1 which saw many Japanese cars taking high ranks. In Stock class, which became a faster race due to the use of a regulated 19T motor, many XRAY cars again took high ranks including the 1st and 2nd ranks, again proving the superior performance of XRAY. |

In the 1/18 class, many drivers demonstrated much better driving skills, so we expect the next race to be even better with more drivers participating.
We appreciate the very good performances of those drivers that participated in this event, including Martin and Jilles, some of whom came from a far away country to participate in the race. |
