Q2 Update – Kaerup again from Batta

The second round of qualifying would prove to be a repeat of this morning’s opening encounter at the IFMAR 1:10 Offroad Worlds with Marcus Kaerup once again topping the times ahead of his Team Associated team-mate Davey Batta.  A much faster run, the grip continuing to increase as the dirt track grooves up with a black tyre line, Kaerup would go 6-seconds faster with Batta even closer to the Dane this time round with him just 3/10ths off the TQ time.  With Batta going to the top of the timing screens during the 5-minute run, Kaerup admitted that Batta had him under pressure with the Top Seed impressed by the pace of the American.  Behind it would again be a Schumacher that completed the Top 3 but this time it was Broc Champlin that led their challenge after the American topped the second fastest heat.  Also in that heat, Daniel Kobbevik backed up his impressive P3 in Q1 to record the fourth fastest time ahead of former World Champion Spencer Rivkin.  While third fastest in top heat, Michal Orlowski’s time would only be good enough for 6th ahead of French National Champion Clement Boda.
