Daniel Grobe wins at Thornhill Championship Series Rd4

Round 4 of the Thornhill Championship Series was held recently at the Thornhill Racing Circuit in Hutto, Texas. After having some issues in round one and two of E-Truggy qualifying it was Daniel Grobe who got together a brilliant drive in Q3 to secure the overall TQ with the only 9-lap run of the class. For the double A-mains, Daniel would get a clean start in A1, but an early mistake dropped him to 2nd as in turn Jason Hill made a mistake and Daniel got by, where he would control the pace, not push the truck to much, and would take the win. In A2, Daniel got off to a clean start again with no mistakes and he didn’t want to throw away a win, or crash hard, as Jason again made a mistake and he would over drive to chase Daniel down. Up front Daniel took another win for the overall as Jason Hill came in 2nd and Isaac Price ended the day in 3rd.

The 2018 ROAR Electric Paved On-Road National Championships were held this weekend at Ft. Myers R/C Car Club in Cape Coral, Florida. Off-road ace, Ryan Cavalieri (Team Associated/Muchmore) arrived at this year’s nationals with hopes of adding another Modified Touring Car National Championship to his already impressive resume. In the premier Modified Touring Car class, Cavalieri went onto dominate qualifying by TQ’ing three of the four rounds to take the overall TQ honors. In A-main number one, Cavalieri drove flawless by leading every lap and taking the Win by over five seconds. A-main two would be more difficult as changing track conditions made racing extremely tough. Cavalieri remained calm while having great battles with teammates Rick Hohwart and Kevin Hebert throughout the intense 6-minute A-main. As the checkered flag waived, it was Cavalieri just edging out Hebert to take the win and the 2018 ROAR Modified Touring Car National Championship. Behind him, Keven Hebert (Team Associated/Reedy) took the runner-up spot while Xray/Maclan’s Julian Wong completed the podium result.
