Yardy & Cragg win at BRCA 1/10th nats Rd1

Round 1 of the 2014 1/10th BRCA National Series ran under warm and sunny skies near Birmingham at the Kidderminster venue. The popular astroturf track saw Reedy/Team Associated factory driver Tom Yardy being the man to beat in the 2WD Modified Buggy class. Tom’s pole position start gave him the advantage he needed to hold off teammate Neil Cragg and always-fast Lee Martin for the overall win. Cragg came back with a vengeance on Sunday to dominate the first two legs of the 4WD Modified Buggy A Main and take the win while Yardy just missed the podium with a respectable fourth-place finish.
