Tebo & Cavalieri victorious at CRCRC Winter Champs

The 25th Annual CRCRC Winter Mid-West Electric Off-Road Championships were held this past weekend in Jeffersonville, OH. This is known as the first big electric off-road race of the new year as well as being one of the longest on-going races to date. This years event reached an outstanding 355 entries. Team Orion would once again have 2 of their aces in attendance this year with Jared Tebo and Ryan Cavalieri. The overall qualifying order in each class was determined by the points system which would take each drivers 2 best qualifying round finishes out of 4. The top 10 drivers from each class would automatically go into the A-Main Events. This would be the first year CRCRC incorporated the bump-up system to their electric race. Lower main events up through the B’s were ran earlier on main day. The top 2 finishers from each main event would bump into the next main. This would make a 12 car field for the triple A-Main Events.

Joern Neumann dominates DHI Cup

Last weekend was the DHI Cup in Odense, Denmark. The event is held over three days and includes on-road and off-road racing on two separate tracks. On Friday there was practice and one round of qualifying and after a few minor set-up changes Jörn was ready for qualifying. Jörn went on to TQ three out of four qualifying rounds, which put him 1st on the grid in both classes. Triple A-Mains were held on Sunday. The 4WD finals were perfect, with Jörn winning the first 2 mains. In 2nd, it was Martin Bayer and 3rd Tom Cockerill. 2WD was a little more work for Jörn after crashing into a lapped driver on the main straight in A2, which broke his front A-arm. Jörn was able to win A1 and A3, to get the overall victory in 2WD, followed by Tom Cockerill in 2nd and Martin Bayer in 3rd.
