David Ronnefalk TQs & wins Swedish Cup opener

The opening round of the Swedish Cup was held this past weekend. HB Racing’s David Ronnefalk made a near clean sweep in the 1/8th Nitro Buggy class, taking the overall TQ after winning four of the five qualifying rounds. In his semi final he lost a shock pin on the very first lap and the following repair cost him about one and a half laps but he was able to come in fourth to start the 45-minute main final from the 7th spot on the grid. In the main final David soon started to move his way up and ultimately he would bring home the win some two laps in front of Kyosho’s Jessica Palsson despite some rain making things interesting again. HB Racing driver Niclas Brunsberg would end the day on the 3 spot some 9 seconds short of Jessica.
