The ROAR Region 4 Championships were held this past weekend at\u00a0Shiverville Racetrack<\/a>\u00a0located in High Springs, FL.<\/p>\n

The race weekend started off with controlled practice Friday. \u00a0After getting used to the track and making a few changes to both cars most drivers felt confident going into qualifying day. Three rounds of qual points style qualifying on Saturday. \u00a0In 2wd Mod Buggy Tekin <\/a>factory pilot Brett Kingsbury had a top 3 car but ended up 5th after a few mistakes. \u00a0In 4wd Mod Buggy Bretty would redeem himself Tq’ing all three rounds of qualifying followed closely by several fast Florida drivers.<\/p>\n

In 2wd Mod Buggy Brett would have a few mechanical issues(ball cup) in two mains which hurt his chances of a podium position. Moving onto 4wd Mod Buggy Bretty would take the win in the first main, and take a 2nd in A2. With the top 2 drivers both having a win and a 2nd, it would come down to A3. \u00a0Early on in the race Brett dropped down to 3rd place after a mistake. \u00a0Knowing he had a 6 minute main he would stay composed and knock down some fast laps to regain the lead at the 2 minute mark to take the win by a close .2 sec!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Brett chose a Tekin\u00a0Gen 2 7.5<\/a> 4wd buggy and RS Pro<\/a>. For 2wd buggy Brett chose a Tekin Gen 2 8.5<\/a> and RS Esc<\/a>.<\/p>\n
