Cavalieri fastest on Day 1 of Spektrum Challenge

Cavalieri fastest on Day 1 of Spektrum Challenge

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin, Trackside Hobbies plays host this weekend to the Spektrum Off-Road Challenge. Traveling from sunny Southern California to represent Team Associated is 1:10 electric ace, Ryan Cavalieri. Having ran exclusively 1:8 Buggy for the past few months, culminating with his “A” main finish at the 1:8 World Championship, Cavalieri pulled his Factory Team B4.1 and B44.1 off the shelf and laid down the fastest qualifying time in the first round of qualifying in 2wd and 4wd Modified.  Not to be left out, Reedy’s very own Sean Cochran took his Factory Team SC10 to the top spot in the ultra-competitive SCT 17.5 class. With three more qualifiers on Saturday and the main events on Sunday, Cavalieri is off to a good start at what has become one of the largest indoor events in the country with 300+ entries

Racing in Southern California is always very competitive and it was no different at last weekends Kyosho Fall Classic hosted by Revelations Raceway.  The event had over 120 entries.  Adam Drake and newly crowned 1/8th Buggy World Champion Cody King were on hand and battled in the 1/8th buggy class.  Adam Drake driving his Novarossi powered Team Losi Racing 8ight 2.0 and 8ight T 2.0 was in top form all weekend and TQ’ed every round in both classes.  In the 1/8th truck class Drake lead from start to finish and took home the victory by two laps in the 30 minute final. The final event of the weekend in the 1/8th buggy class, Drake got a clean start and Cody made a few mistakes early in the final which allowed Drake to pull away early.  Cody continued to push hard during the final, but Drake’s pace and consistency paid of and Drake won the 30 minute final by just over one lap.
