Lee Martin doubles at BRCA 1/10th Buggy Nats Rd5

Round five of the BRCA 1/18th Buggy National Championship was held at Titchfield Off Road Club Hampshire this past weekend.

The weekend started off with 2WD on Saturday and it was Neil Cragg who put his Team Associated buggy on pole position for the triple A-finals. Yokomo’s Lee Martin and Tom Cockerill came in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

2015 Timezone GP – Report

The 2015 Timezone GP was a race to remember. The sun was out, blistering at near 100 degrees. The track ready and prime, eagerly waiting to be driven on. The stage was set for a special weekend in Battleground, Washington. Unfortunately, this year’s GP kicked off with a bit of bad news as the world famous Charlie Suangka, was unable to attend this year’s race due to a scheduling conflict. The good news was that the unforgettable Scotty Ernst was able to step in as this year’s guest RD. Bringing the excitement all the way from Wisconsin, this would also be Scotty’s 1st trip to Timezone. Other notables that made the trip was everyone’s favorite Canadian and Team Associated’s on-road ace, Keven Hebert. Former world champion, Ralph Burch for RC America/Xray was also on hand to battle in the 1/10th scale nitro sedan class.
