In the A-2\u00a0I had a good start and made it up to 2nd with 6 laps to go. The leader National Champion Mr Josh Pain was 6 seconds in front of me.

With a lap to go I just could not get past and finished half a second behind him. With Josh winning the first two mains it was a battle for second and the race was going well until a super hard hit from the side would snap my front belt and end my race, which would see me finish 4th overall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1503\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"unnamed\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/unnamed-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As Always I would like to thank my sponsors, that help make it all possible. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/\">Tekin <\/a><\/strong>for the great support keeping all my cars going fast and smooth, TLR Australia for the great vehicles and support, JConcepts for the tires, wheel, body, and wing support, Savox for the servos and Stickit 1 graphics for the skins and Decals, James at PMS paint for the sweet paint jobs.
