Last weekend Fear Farm Raceway hosted the final round of the AZRCR Championship Series. The final event had a slight delay Saturday morning due to mother nature, but racing got started around 12:00 after a short practice session. Billy Fischer set the pace in round one of Buggy and Adam Drake did the same in Truck. In round two Drake set the pace in both classes to take the overall TQ positions. Drake led both finals from start to finish to sweep the final round of the series.

This year the popular Baden-Württemberg Cup in Germany consisted of four rounds held in Nufringen, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Laupheim and the final round in Senden. Unfortunately the weather was a factor in each of the races, with it being either unbearably hot or rainy. Hannes Käufler was able to win three out of the three races he attended in the Nitro Buggy division to win the overall title. Ralf just narrowly missed out on a nitro podium to finish fourth overall behind runner-up Micha Widmaier and Alexander Schmitt.

The Florida Nitro Series began at famous Lake Park Raceway just outside of Tampa. TLR’s JR Mitch took the win in the Nitro Buggy main only after showing up Sunday morning fresh with zero track time. With morning practice and jumping into the lower main, track time on the current surface would work to his favour. Moving through and in to the B Main, then on to the A-main, Mitch started moving his way through the field from his bump up spot at the back of the grid to take the win despite this being a 1-day event for him.
