Jared Phair sweeps Time To Let It Rip Trophy race

The Time To Let It Rip Trophy race was held this past weekend at Barnstormers RC in Chester, New York. Different than other tracks in the area, this track was very tight and was 100 percent dirt. No clay, no tyre saucing or softening, just simple green and water was the ticket for tyre prep. Jared Phair would take the double TQ, coming out on top in Modified 4WD Buggy and 2WD Buggy. Ultimately Jared would also bring home the win in both classes, with Jack Bonhomme and Scott Salzer coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 4WD class while the top 3 was completed by Mike Billings and Frank Babriecki.
