Race report by Matthew Pyle
Qualifying was good, and I was really able to push my buggies to the limit. Round 1 was basically practice. I qualified 4th in Stock 2wd buggy and 3rd in Mod 4wd Buggy. Round 2 was better for 2wd, but worse for 4wd. I took the TQ in Stock 2wd Buggy by 0.250 or something like that, but I fell to 5th in 4wd Buggy after a poor run by me.

The mains were great! Stock 2wd Buggy was a neck-to-neck 3 way battle between myself, Robert Reynolds, and Michael Walker. I just put in consistent laps and kept my car on the racing line and squeaked out the win! That's probably the hardest single race I've driven in. 4wd was awesome, I just let my buggy down.

I had the speed to win, I just made way too many mistakes. I got up to 3rd at one point, but fell back to 5th and finished there. I was satisfied with that result, seeing as I had a 13.5 in my XB4 (and was the only 13.5 in the main).

Thanks to my sponsors for giving me solid equipment to race with! XRAY, RC America, BoomRC, Thor Designs, and Mom and Dad.
