Wells & Munday take out Tasmanian Titles

Wells & Munday take out Tasmanian Titles

The 2015 1/10th Offroad Tasmanian Titles were held at the Goodwood RC Club in Hobart, Tasmania. The small but enthusiastic Goodwood club had prepared a fun and challenging layout for the racers and mother nature provided its own challenge with a searing Summer sun and temperatures in the mid 30s all weekend. Several racers flew in from the Australian mainland for the race including Ray Munday, Ash Peeler, Mark Rogers and Cameron Zammit, all looking to take the challenge up to local hero Sam Wells in the Modified classes. AKA Rebars were chosen as the control tyre for the grooved dirt surface. In addition to the normal classes, this was the first running of the newly sanctioned “Junior” class for under 16’s with 2WD 17.5T buggies.


In 2WD Modified Ray Munday took the TQ from Sam Wells but after some extremely close racing in the finals Sam took out his 1st Modified state title with a popular win. Ray finished 2nd with 14 year old Cameron Zammit continuing to impress with a podium from Mark Rogers and Ash Peeler.

Ash Peeler was too strong in both SCT and Stadium Trucks, further reinforcing his title of the “truck master”. Andrew Mackenzie continued his great weekend with 2nd in both truck classes, Cameron Zammit taking 3rd in SCT and Marcel Jenni 3rd in Stadium truck.
