JQ wins final Southern Thailand Series race

Joseph Quagraine has taken the TQ and win at the final race of the Southern Thailand Series, which also turned out to be the final race of the JQ Asia Tour 2013. Qualifying was really close between Boi Witsarut and JQ, with Boi holding the TQ up until the final round where JQ finally had a clean run and TQed by a few seconds. Qualifying was based on the fastest time. Things got interesting for the final, as it started to rain. The final started off muddy, with some rain falling, but it stopped raining early on, and the track dried up somewhat during the race. JQ took the win from Boi in a hard fought race, which was a real test for the reliability of all the equipment.
