Tebo is Mod Truck Top Qualifier

Jared Tebo is the first driver to secure an overall TQ for the main classes at the 28th running of the Pro-Line Cactus Classic. The Kyosho driver put in his third TQ run in Mod Truck to ensure himself pole position for tomorrow’s A-Main at SRS Raceway.  Behind the US National Champion, Ryan Cavalieri enjoyed his best run setting the second fastest time over 4-seconds behind with Billy Fischer completing the Top 3.

Tebo said he struggled a little with his front tyres coming due to the much cooler conditions of the run, racing having resumed an hour earlier today. Taking half the run to come in he said once they did his RT6 was good and he was able to pick up his lap times.

Top Qualifier in Mod Truck last year, Cavalieri said Q3 was the best his Associated T4.2 has been since the start of the event.  Describing his pace as being really close to that of Tebo he said he had a real shot at TQ’ing the round until he clipped a pipe.  The improvement in the truck was due to adjusting his C-hub set-up to the outer hole which made it roll better.

In 2WD Short Course, Cavalieri claimed his second TQ run after reverting back to the tyre combination he ran when he topped Q1 yesterday.  Fitting AKA Grid Iron fronts and Typo rears, he said it was a lot better than in Q2 when he managed a distant third.

The man who TQ’d that round Ryan Maifield, who was last year’s Top Qualifier, would claim a second ahead up & coming offroad talent Spencer Rivkin.   Maifield said his JConcepts tyres struggled a little in the cooler conditions and work best in the hotter afternoon run so he was ‘just playing the game’ in Q3.
