1\/8 Scale eBuggy<\/p>\n

Tekin powered Lucas Sandford would\u00a0run the first qualifier mistake free\u00a0taking\u00a0the TQ. A quick car change would have his lap times in round 2 .7 seconds per lap faster\u00a0allowing him to\u00a0better his\u00a0TQ time significantly giving him P1 on the grid for the A Main.<\/p>\n

In the A Main, Sanford\u00a0got a great start and quickly pulled out to about a 2 second lead. A\u00a0mistake free giving Sanford the A Main win. “My Tekin Rx8 Gen2<\/a> T8i Gen2<\/a> powered Kyosho MP9e TKI was fantastic all day!” Lucas<\/p>\n
