Jon Hazlewood wins Truggy Pro Rd1

Our partners Neo Buggy have a report from the first round of the UK Truggy Pro Championships that took place last weekend at the MaxBashing track near Guildford in the south of England. Xray XT8 driver Jon Hazlewood, set the TQ time in qualifying, smashing the lap record on the way, qualifying ahead of 2nd place Matt Perry driving for Losi with Kyosho driver Tommy Chung lining up 3rd. At the start of the 30 minute A final, Matt Perry took the holeshot but only until lap 3 when Graham Alsop driving for HoBao took over at the front, while pole man Jon Hazlewood, who had started badly, was now at the rear of the field. By lap 10 however Jon had recovered, and aided by and engine flame out from Alsop, could take the lead on lap 20 from which he never looked back, winning the race convincingly on lap 51 in front of 2nd placed Alsop, more than a lap down, while HoBao racer John Holmes took 3rd.
