…says and it’s true. All the social media and forums have given racers an avenue to state their case or complain. You can even hear my voice now and I’m still talking about the story…Sorry… Ha There are the people that say, the rules are the rules and others that allow for a little flexibility and even hint that Jared was allowed by because of who he is.

…final open practice and found it improved his Kyosho a lot in certain areas of the track, Ronnefalk ran a combination of two set-ups from yesterday.

With the improvement in areas significant, the Swede said they…

…choosing a different tyre for the next practice, the US National Champion said they will mainly just freshen up the D812 shocks and diffs for the next run. Completing the Top 6 was Jared Tebo. The Kyosho driver described the run, his fastest of the event so far, as ‘better’ adding they ‘just got to keep the progress going’. Making just small changes to his Orion powered MP9 for his next run he will fit a different engine. In terms of his pace he said the biggest improvement was going to come from his driving as he gets more and…
