The opening round of the Xray Racing Series Slovakia was held at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin last weekend. The event was held in several electric off-road and on-road classes and in 2WD Mod Buggy it was a pretty close affair between Martin Bayer and Kaja Novotny and eventually the overall TQ went to Martin.
