1/8th Finals Update

Meen Vejrak

The opening race on the big day here in Thailand, the 1/8th B Final, saw Pre-Worlds race winner Meen Vejrak take victory from South African Dean Steenmans, who bumped up from yesterday, with Joseph Quagraine third. Having led the race early on a flame-out for 2000 World Champion Yuichi Kanai ended his chances, although he got running again the Kyosho driver would retire 18 minutes into the half hour encounter. The big battle of the race was for the final bump up spot between 2004 Champion Guillaume Vray and the recovering Levi Jackson who suffered a flame at the 22 minute mark. Holding the spot with a minute to go Vray broke his Mugen allowing Jackson to bump up for a second time and into the 1/4 finals.

In the 1/8th B final up front Czech Team Losi driver took a comfortable win ahead of Spain’s Borja Hernandez and America’s JR Mitch. There was heartbreak for Korea’s Dani Choi as he was on target for his fifth bump up but with less than three minutes to go the front right hinge pin on his Agama came out. Trying to continue on three wheels he was easy pray for Chad Bradley who, despite hitting tyre problems on the final two laps, took the all important fourth place. Another to suffer cruel luck was Swedish Kyosho driver Linus Thern, holding a bump up position he went out at the half way mark with a throttle servo failure.
