Team Losi Racing’s Dustin Evans completed a clean sweep of 2WD qualifying at the JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals, the World Championship finalist picking up where he left off yesterday to TQ the third & final round of qualifying in Buggy, Short Course and Stadium Truck. With no one able to out pace Evan’s TLR cars around the RC Excitement track the 2011 US National Champion looks to be firmly on target to defend the three titles he won here last year in Fitchburg however the Colorado driver says he is taking nothing for granted as with single A-Mains one mistake can easily cost you the win.
