Rivkin denies Phend ROAR Nationals buggy double

Spencer Rivkin has denied the defending ROAR National Champion Dakotah Phend the buggy double at SDRC Raceway in San Diego. In qualifying things couldn’t have gone better for Phend with the Team Losi Racing driver taking the overall TQ in both 2WD and 4WD Buggy as well Mod Truck. Kicking off Sunday’s finals with 2WD Buggy, things looked set to continue Phend’s way as he took A1 by over 4-seconds from Yokomo’s Ryan Maifield. Next up was Mod Truck with more of the same but the first 4WD Buggy final would bring change. Three laps in second place qualifier Rivkin went to the front to take the win as Phend dropped down the order eventually finishing P7. In A2, Rivkin again took the early lead with Phend finishing back in 5th. Rivkin was the new 4WD Champion. While Phend won A3, it was Maifield and AE’s Aydin Horne who completed the podium presentation ahead of Phend. In 2WD, Phend’s TLR team-mate Ryan Cavalieri would force the battle to A3 when he took the second encounter but Phend got the job done in A3 to retain his title. A 1-2 for TLR, Maifield completed the podium in front of Rivkin. In Mod Truck, the title decision also went to A3. With a win a piece, Phend and Team Associated’s A2 winner Dustin Evans would battle it out. A mistake from Phend would allow Evans to the front but Phend charged back and found his way to the front to wrap up the title with Rivkin completing the National Championship Top 3.

Martin would come home second with Clancy completing the podium.

Phend to defend ROAR titles as Top Qualifier

Reigning ROAR National Champion Dakotah Phend will defend his 2WD and 4WD Buggy titles from pole position. The TLR driver is the Top Qualifier in San Diego after going fastest in 2 of the three rounds of qualifying at SDRC Raceway. His closest challenger in 2WD would be team-mate Ryan Cavalieri who TQ’d the second round of heats. A P2 and P4, was good enough to give Team Associated’s Aydin Horne third on the grid ahead of Yokomo’s Ryan Maifield. It was a tough qualifying for reigning World Champion Spencer Rivkin as he finds himself back in 7th on the grid. In 4WD, Phend wrapped up the overall TQ with his JConcepts shod 22X-4 Elite by topping the times for the opening two qualifiers. Topping Q3, Rivkin will start alongside him with Maifield third, the same order as they finished last year’s ROAR Nationals. In Mod Truck, Ty Tessmann was able to deny Phend a hat trick as the Xray driver secured the overall TQ thanks to quicker time from Q1 compared to Phend’s Q3 performance. Fastest in the second qualifier, Team Associated’s Dustin Evans will start third.
