Fischer wins 1:8 eBuggy at Dirt Nitro Challenge

Fresh from winning the B-Main in nitro Truggy to book himself a spot in the 45 Main, Team Losi Racing’s Billy Fischer bagged the first Pro class win of the 14th running of the world famous Dirt Nitro Challenge taking the victory in the 1:8 eBuggy A-Main from Team Durango’s Ryan Lutz and Kyosho’s Elliot Boots.

The 13-lap race saw Top Qualifier Austin Blair lead the way for the first half of proceedings but mistakes by the A-Main Hobbies team driver would see the 18-year drop back down the order, his Tekin powered Tekno eventually finishing the 8-minute encounter in 4th just behind Boots. Once in front, Fischer would take his No.2 Novak powered 8ight to a 6-second winning margin over Lutz who started 6th. Starting from ninth & setting the fastest lap of the race, Boots finished 2.3-second behind the factory Durango driver for a result that will ensure he returns from his US race debut to the United Kingdom with at least one podium finishing trophy.
