Cody King wins Nitro Truggy at JBRL Rd1

The opening round of the 2014 JBRL Nitro Series got underway at the Thunder Alley RC Raceway last weekend. In the Nitro Truggy class TLR’s Adam Drake and Kyosho’s Kyle McBride and Cody King all looked fast in qualifying and this would also proof in the 15 minute main where Adam and Cody battled the entire final. With about 4 minutes left Cody made the final pass to take the lead and with a gap of about a second he was able to beat Adam Drake who had to settle for 2nd place. Kyosho’s Kyle McBride, who is preparing for the Silver State race, completed the podium in 3rd.

In the Nitro Buggy class Adam Drake took the TQ from Cody King who scored a TQ in the first qualifier but was not able to better his time in the second round. Drew Moller put his buggy 3rd on the grid. Right from the start it was a Drake and King battle again and Cody eventually got by. After Adam went out of fuel Cody shifted into cruise mode only to find the throttle of his buggy behaving erratic shortly after, due to an expected electronic glitch. Following a crash and a pit stop for fuel Cody found himself in 2nd place and he even managed to start chasing Adam again but ran out of time handing Adam Drake the win in Nitro Buggy. Cody brought home the 2nd place in front of Drew Moller.
