Zack Barry wins US Micro On-Road Nats

Zack Barry wins US Micro On-Road Nats

Xray have a report on the first ever 1/18th Scale US On-road Nationals, held last week at RC Madness in Enfield, CT, with numerous classes present including Micro Sedan, Pan car, Recoil (1/14th), Rally, and Open Truck. Zack Barry was present with the new M18T Pro and after qualifying for the Open Truck class he lined up 2nd, despite running the fastest lap times. At the start of the main final Zack quickly got by the leader but had a bobble shortly after that, allowing 3rd place driver Tony Phalen to get by. Now running in 2nd place, Zack followed Tony for several laps, slowly closing the gap. When Tony’s truck “thermalled out” Zack took the lead and with it the win, followed home by John Cravotta in 2nd and Dillon Spinelli in 3rd.
