Darren Bloomfield takes BRCA Nitro Buggy Nats Rd3

The popular Herts dirt track played host to the third round of this year’s BRCA National Nitro Buggy Championship. In the qualifiers Kyosho’s Elliott Boots and Agama’s Darren Bloomfield battled it out for the overall TQ and in the end it would be Darren to hold the upper hand with Elliott in second and Lee Martin (Mugen) in third. After the semis, Lee would then be on pole position for the main final that he would lead in the opening stages until two engine cuts let him drop back, leaving Darren and Elliott to battle it out. Elliott managed to catch up to Darren in the closing stages but he made a mistake at the back of the track which was his last chance to possibly take the win. The oil from the track got into the tyres, making them very soft and Boots car quite edgy to drive. Up front Darren drove great all weekend and he took the win while Elliott ended up 2nd but still leading the championship.

The Plex in Omaha, Nebraska held a round of their Summer Series races this past weekend, attracting a good amount of drivers to get some laps under their belts in preparation for the forthcoming 2016 ROAR 1/10th Nationals. The race format was practice on Friday evening and Saturday morning followed by two qualifiers and single mains. Kyosho’s Jared Tebo would make a clean sweep in the 4WD Modified Buggy class taking the TQ after the two rounds of qualifying and grabbing the win in the 8 minute A-main. 2WD was a bit different as in Q1 Jared needed to be marshalled but he still took the TQ but in Q2 numerous moments had Tebo missing out on the top spot by 2 seconds. The 2WD main then was a pretty exciting affair. Coming from the 2 spot and racing the leader nose to tail until the very last lap leader Alex went a car width too wide after the whoops, allowing Jared to take the lead and the win.
