This past weekend Ty Tessmann competed at the 2nd round of the RC Pro Alberta Series in Calgary, Alberta. The track was very technical and rocky which took it’s toll on many of the cars in qualifying and the mains but Ty’s equipment held up to the difficult conditions and enabled him to TQ all 4 rounds of expert buggy and all 4 rounds of expert truggy. He then went on to win both the buggy and truggy A mains to complete a perfect weekend.

Very much a day for drivers to get settled in and get used to the rather high temperatures, Day 1 of the 2010 EFRA 1:8 Off Road European Championship here in Guarda, Portugal has come to a close. The capacity entry had just 25 minutes of track time with a 10-minute run in the morning followed by a longer 15 minute practice in afternoon. No official timing meant it was hard to gauge who was doing what but speaking to those expected to feature on the time sheets the majority said the day was just a chance to get into their groove for what lies ahead.
