Ryan Cavalieri wins Nitro Buggy class at NeoX

Ryan Cavalieri has snapped his 2nd place finish streak with a stellar performance in the 45 minute Nitro Buggy final at the NeoX race this past weekend. Cavalieri would start on pole and quickly jump out into a 5-sec lead with his AKA-shoed and Mx-powered Team Associated prototype buggy. Teammate Jared Tebo (Kyosho/Mx), fresh off of a pair of wins at the Silver State rolled that confidence over to England and kept the pressure on Cav with a one less pit strategy and some blazing fast laps. David Ronnefalk (HB/Team Orion) had a rough start to the final but kept his head down and the tyres on the dirt, and worked all the way back up to 3rd.
