Xray wins Rd1 of Western Canadian series

Xray Canada

Xray have a report on their site about the first round of the Western Canadian series held in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Xray dominated the event managing to win all 3 classes – Stock, 19T and Modified.

When the tone went for the start of the main Rodney and I took off from the pack. Rodney was quick but I was right there behind him. A couple of laps in Rodney got tangled with a back marker and opened the door for me to get by. Being a short track with the lap times being around the 8 second range, by the time Rodney got going again I was half a lap ahead. He really pushed his T2 ‘007 and caught back up in a couple of laps. We diced it out until the end of the race which I managed to hold him off for the win.

In the early practice run on Thursday and Friday both Associated cars were quickly dialed in to the fast but technical track at the CRF facility, using Novak brushless power Craigâ€™s car looked punchy with good straight line speed, still in its development stage the new car delighted Craig and caused a great deal on interest in the pit area.
