Borden wins at 20th Annual Northwest Gold Cup

The 20th Annual Northwest Gold Cup at Tacoma R/C Raceway hosted by Scott Brown had strong competition and epic battles in every class offered. In 17.5 Pro Stock Buggy, Shane Borden and another fast northwest driver Tyler Miller would both get two rounds of TQs but Tyler would get the tie breaker with the extra lap. With the grid set for the triple A-mains, in A1 Tyler would lead from tone to tone to prove his TQ was no joke with a 23/6:04.6 pace. Evan Overmars and Evan Margeson would round out the top 3. A2 was slightly different as Tyler would make a mistake in the first corner allowing Shane Borden to take the lead and control it for the first half of the race. Evan Overmars would eventually catch Shane and apply the pressure causing a small mistake on the infield triple. Evan was able to pass Shane and take the win narrowly by 0.5 seconds, Evan Margeson would finish third.

RC Lemans Series Rd7 – Report

The 2015 RC Lemans Series concluded this past weekend with the 7th and and final round hosted by the EVMC Velp club. Following the cancellation of the previous round 6 the title decision in the Stock class would take place at the final event. Due to the predicted weather and some entry cancellations the driver field unfortunately was pretty small with only one group each for the Modified and Stock classes. The qualifying then started out dry but with the day progressing things got more and more wet and unpleasant and with the FTD counting the opening qualifier was the fastest for most of the drivers. In the Modified class newly crowned German champion Tim Altmann would grab the TQ spot in front of Reinder Wilms and Sven Stoffels. The top 5 was completed by Peter Plümacher and Christian Fischer.
