2WD update – Q2

Dustin Evans remains the provisional Top Qualifier of the 2WD Modified class despite failing to improve his Q1 time in the second round of the qualifying.  The Losi driver still topped the times for Q2 as he again was the only driver to make 16 laps.  On target to improve his time a mistake on his 7th lap which left him stuck on a pipe cost over 2-seconds and he crossed the finish just a second shy of his morning time.

Improving his morning time Team Associated’s Brian Kinwald was again the closest challenger to Evans but still couldn’t break 16 laps. Switching additive for Q2 he said his SC10 was slighter better but overall it still feels loose.  Improving his time by almost 8-seconds, Kinwald said he will focus instead on trying to work around the problem with his driving rather than trying to chase a set-up.

Sixth fastest after Q1, teenager Cody Hollis made a big improvement to go third quickest.  The Kyosho driver said lengthening the rear camber links really improved his truck and other than changing to a fresh set of AKA Wishbones on the rear he will stick with the same set-up for the reseeded third round of qualifying which will complete today’s track action.

Another to improve, local Losi ace Quincy Hughes didn’t improve on his overall time as he stays fourth overall.  Dropping to fifth having been third after Q1 Randy Pike said he went too far in his quest to get more steering on his Losi XXX-SCT.  Adding weight to the front of the chassis he said he made the mistake of also saucing his tyres which he said was the wrong way to go.

Driving an X-Factory chassis, Clayton Easley moved to fifth fastest time for the round to move himself into the Top 6 just ahead of JConcepts’ Paul Wynn who improved his Q1 time but drops two spots to sit 7th.
