Borkowicz & Rivkin claim runner-up spots
Up & coming offroad racing talents Damion Borkowicz and Spencer Rivkin claimed the runners-up spots behind the big winner of the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals Ryan Maifield. Setting the fastest lap of the race, Borkowicz secured the second step on the 4WD Buggy podium by finishing second to Team Xray’s Tyler Vik in A3. Unfortunately for Vik, a podium finisher at the Spring Indoor Nationals, his win came too late and he missed out on the podium in Chico by 1-point to A-Main Hobbies driver Drew Moller.
In 2WD Buggy, a win in the closing race of the biggest event to be hosted at Outback Raceway gave Team Associated’s Rivkin second overall behind his mentor. Finishing second to Rivkin, having swapped the lead with the 15-year-old and also seen off the challenge of Mark Pavidis, Vik would claim the final step on the podium. Having his best run in A3 to finish third Pavidis would end up fourth overall.
