Before we get to race week, lets recap the previous round of the NSWRL at Orange Radio Control Car Club (ORCCC)!
Orange delivered an amazing track for their second time hosting NSWRL. The team did an amazing job to prepare and fix a couple of jumps that were a challenge last year!
Let’s start with the most important class… Junior!
2wd Junior
It was only a small field of drivers attending this year’s round at Orange, but none the less, they certainly showed some amazing talent! Unfortunately, a timing error on race day was not picked up, and the TQ trophy was incorrectly awarded, however we will rectify this in due course. Overall, it was Mason Crompton taking TQ with a 48.622 ahead of Liam Brennan with a 58.451 and Xavier Orr not recording a time. In A1 it was Mason taking the win over Liam and Xavier. A2 saw Liam take the win over Mason and Xavier. A3 saw Mason take the win ahead of Liam and Xavier. Overall, it would be Mason Crompton 1st, Liam Brennan 2nd and Xavier Orr in 3rd.
