After a delayed start due to overnight rain,  the opening round of racing at this year’s Reedy Internatonal Touring Car Race of Champion resulted in pretty straight forward wins for defending champion Ronald Volker, Meen Vejrak and Marc Rheinard.  Starting from second on the grid alongside pole starter Ryan Cavalieri, Volker took a much expected convincing win in the opening race of the event followed by Serpent’s Viktor Wilck who started on the second row alongside another off road star, Ty Tessman.  In the second heat, it was 16-year-old Yokomo driver Andrew Hardman who led the way for the first five laps before being passed by team-mate Vejrak who had started from 10th on the grid.  Later in Hardman would lose 2nd to Tamiya’s Christopher Krapp as Vejrak cruised to victory up front. Concluding the first of the 12 rounds of heads up race, in Heat 3 four time Reedy Race champion Marc Rheinard, starting from 7th on the grid, took just three laps to get to the front to win ahead of team-mates Akio Sobue and Nicholas Lee.
