Rain puts Nitro Challenge on hold

Heavy overnight rain has put today’s Buggy finals action at ‘The Dirt’ Nitro Challenge on hold with the track looking more like a mud bath than the awesome track that produced a thrilling Truggy final last night. With most of the rain clouds cleared overhead, event organiser Joey Christensen and his track crew have been working flat out this morning trying to clear the water from the track and are now waiting on the Arizona sun to finish off the drying process.

This has delayed today’s busy schedule by a couple hours already and will result in shorter races for the lower finals when racing resumes. Along with the rain there were very high winds last night which caused a lots of damage in the pits. Team Losi Racing faired the worst with their area looking like a war zone when they arrived this morning.
