McBride

Last weekend Australia hosted the ACT State Championships down in Canberra. Attending was all of Australia’s best drivers from across the country with around 150 entries for the weekend. The track is always known for having an amazing groove and technical/fun layout.

I would be racing both 1/8th Truck and Buggy classes this weekend. I started off the weekend extremely well managing to pick up the overall TQ for each class, and all my gear was working perfectly. I was running X3 Blockades virtually the entire weekend, the Novarossi Keep Off 7 as the track was high grip, and the Virtus 7 in the Truck and my Ko Propo gear ran faultlessly the whole weekend!

I started off pole position for the main finals and managed to create a gap at the start and pull away in both finals. I ended the final with a lap up on 2nd place in both classes and the rest of the field and took the state championship for both classes this year! I was very happy with the result and driving this weekend, I would like to again give a huge thank to all of my sponsors for the support: Kyosho, Pro-Line, Novarossi, A-main Hobbies, Protek RC, Ko Propo, Tekin, Upgrade RC, Bitty Design, Dialed Inc.
