World Champion to be crowned after dark

Sterling work by the A-Main Hobbies track crew, and most of the drivers on their race team, have meant that despite last nights heavy rain which flooded the track we will be crowning the 15th 2WD Electric Buggy World Champion today.  Following a team-managers meeting IFMAR have issued a new time table which will begin with a round of 4-minute rolling practice with drivers running in the order in which they have qualified for their respective finals.  After this the finals will begin at 17:10 with a practice run of the A-Main Final before the original schedule will be followed albeit considerable later than planned.  This will mean that it is almost certain to be dark here in Chico, California by the time we crown the World Champion.  Having dried the track the track team have also managed to sugar water the track which in turn has been gone over with a blow torch.  Full credit to A-Main Hobbies for their work with even the owner of the online r/c retailer Kendall Bennett being full hands on driving the diesel roller.
