On the 3rd round on Saturday I was able to set the overall TQ with Ebuggy straight after Q1 and Q2, Ales Bidovsky lined up 2nd and Mirek Koutek 3rd on the A main grid. With Nitro Martin Bayer TQed Q1, but I managed to win Q2 and Q3 to take the overall TQ in Nitro as well!
As we went into finals, I was able to win all three A main legs with always at least one lap gap over 2nd Ales, and Martin Milowsky who took the last step on the podium overall!

1. Gotzl Max - XRAY XB8E
2. Bidovsky Ales
3. Milowsky Martin
With Nitro buggy I managed to set the fastest time in semis to take the pole position for the main final, just few seconds back was Martin who lined up second and Jiri Mara took the third starting spot. I resisted Martin for the whole first lap, but unfortunately on the second lap his engine stopped, probably because of the rocks on the track. After that incident I had a really big gap over second place and was able to finish the 30 minute main on the first place to take the second overall win! Martin managed to climb his way back to the 2nd place in the end and Jiri Mara finished 3rd.

On the 4th round on Sunday I again TQed all three qualifiers with Ebuggy to take the pole for triple A main. Ales was again on the second place and Mirek third. As we had less drivers than on Saturday, we decided not to have Semis and go straight into the main final, so we ran 4 qualifiers. I was able to TQ the first three to secure pole position for the main in front of Martin in 2nd and Ales Bidovsky in 3rd.
With Ebuggy I won A1 and A2 to secure the win straight away after some nice fights with Ales, who finished overall 2nd and Martin Milowsky took the 3rd spot again.

Straight on the second lap of the main final in nitro I made a mistake which put Martin in the lead, I unfortunately made some more stupid mistakes by my own, but still was trying to chase Martin as we ran this main for 45 minutes. But unfortunately again Martin had an issue, so I took over the lead and finished on the first place with huge gap over 2nd Tomas Kapicka and 3rd Ales Bidovsky.
