The mighty RHR track hosted the Mid East regionals for both classes over the weekend in the glorious sunshine!

Saturday was 4wd but sadly after a great start with a P3 in round 1, it was not meant to be my day following some sad news, I was rushing to get sorted for round 2 and I just took my eye off the ball and connected my speedo up wrong! 😬 that was me out for 2 rounds due to the quick turnaround and my day basically done, I was unable to put a clean run together for round 4. However watching my son drive so well all day was just awesome, well done buddy!

With a win against Sweden in the World cup, Sunday was a new day, new focus and a full team under in the Kyosho gazebo....

The Kyosho RB6.6 was good out the blocks, with a 4&5th in round one from Matthew Thompson and myself, we made a few key changes and missing TQ in round 4 by just over a second to Jack Neal. it was good to see that the cars was feeling easy and fast to drive with Matt only a few seconds behind

We lined up 4 & 5 on the grid behind Neal, Smith and Mellish but the fast track did not allow much overtaking so it remained pretty much a close battle till the end leaving me with a 4th & 6th finish for Matt.

The car was fast all day and the final laptimes show how consistant and easy the car was to drive!

Aside from the racing it was great to see old friends back making a return, and especially all the kids too!

Good team effort and thanks for all the banter and some cracking pictures Phil Wallace
