Alex Kosciuszek doubles at CISC

Wolcott Hobbies and Airsoft recently hosted the Connecticut Indoor State Championship. The track was fast with a ton of bite and a nice flowing layout and with over 18 heats the days were long, but fun. In the 2WD class, Team Associated/Reedy driver Alex Kosciuszek set the pace and he took the TQ to start the 6-minute main event. From the start of the race, “Alex K” battled with Team Associated privateer, Kyle Rhodes, but a few mistakes from Rhodes saw Kosciuszek extend his lead and take the victory with Rhodes in second. In the 4WD Modified class it wasn’t even close. Kosciuszek dominated the competition by being the only driver to turn 25 laps. In the main, Alex cruised to an easy win, taking his second victory of the event.

BRCA 1/12th scale nationals Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the 2014/15 BRCA 1/12th Scale Nationals took place at Swifts Raceway near Sheffield last weekend.

In the 10.5 Stock class, Olly Jefferies was in commanding form driving his Reedy and LRP powered Xray chassis. He won all four rounds of qualifying and was top qualifier ahead of reigning British Champion in this class David Spashett, driving the Zen-Racing car he has designed and developed himself. Chris Kerswell qualified 3rd for Zen-Racing/Hobbywing ahead of the Reedy-powered Yokomo of Mark Stiles.
