Maifield, Tessmann & Cavalieri win at Manufacturers Cup

The Amain Hobbies Manufacturers Cup was hosted by Silver Dollar Raceway in Chico, California over the weekend with some of the fastest U.S. racers making their entry to race in the usual array of 1/8th off-road classes. The Manufacturers Cup is always an exciting race that carries a different format much similar to the Reedy Race of Champions, where the Pro drivers compete in a series of heads-up racing and awarded points after finishing results for each round. The lowest point total taken from 3 of the 4 rounds decides the overall finishing order making each round an all-out race rather. Ryan Maifield was on another level in the Pro Nitro Buggy class as he delivered a perfect performance going 4 for 4 to win all rounds and took the overall without question. The Mugen ace was on top of the tire program selecting the right tire at the right time and got good starts to work his way up to the front. Once in the lead, Maifield put it in overdrive and secured his flawless weekend in Nitro Buggy with some amazing driving. Xray’s Ty Tessman secured 2 wins and locked up 2nd as Kyosho’s Jared Tebo finished on the podium in 3rd.
