Josh Pain doubles at 2014 Tasmanian EP off-road titles

The first major race on the Australian electric off-road calendar has been run and won, with a nationals quality field and a very challenging track. Josh Pain took the TQ in both 2WD and 4WD modified classes and the Yokomo driver then went on to win the 2WD class by taking A1 and A2 leaving Sam Wells and Matt Tied fighting for the runner-up spot. At the end it was Sam who ended in second while Matt settled for third spot. 4WD was a different affair with some tight battles coming from second place driver Chris Sturdy and third place driver Matt Griffin. All three drivers gained a win in the three finals, with Josh and Chris both having a win and a second, the tie break going to the fasted winning time. Josh just edged out Chris by 2 seconds to get the overall win and claim the prestigious Dual Tasmanian titles along with some vital Worlds Qualifier points that should help toward Japan in 2015.

Thanks to Josh Pain for sending the report.
