Round 4 of our off-road summer series is finally in the books with a perfect forecast!!

Nitro Truggy would see Derrick bates take the TQ with his Sworkz truggy, Keaghan Klemme would qualify in the second spot running a Tekno with Johnathan Shanklin qualifying third spot running TLR. In the main Derrick keeping it consistent and grabbing the win leading it from tone to tone. Shanklin would make his way into the second spot and a DNF for Klemme would move Kenny Dage running a Sworkz truggy up to the third spot on the podium.

E truggy -Josh Sargent would lay the SmackDown in qualifying with his Sworkz truck on Promotion tires taking the win over Collin Krivitz in second place Bradley Deem and his Tekno would end up in third after a battle between Gary Wright rocking out his faithful HB on the last few laps.

Pro nitro buggy would have Parker klemme grabbing the TQ with his Hong nor XB5 backed by Thunder Road hobbies, he would go on to take the win over Ryan Dobson making big strides from starting 6th running a Kyosho mp11, team associated driver Troy Weber would make his way to the third place on the podium.

4x4 short course would have the short course master Cody Stiner grab the TQ with his Tekno SC truck, his pole position would end early on lap two with Jacob Burgess taking the lead, but unfortunately midway through the race. Jacob would to have to surrender his lead back to Cody Stiner. Tony Wilhelm was holding onto a solid third place finish until his battery dumped about 10 feet before the finish line on the last lap ultimately giving the third position spot on the podium to his teammate Jason Matthews.

E buggy would have team associated driver Troy Weber taking the TQ relying on the traction from his Jconcepts Tires on the tricky track conditions. A hard charging Parker klemme would make his way up from the 4th starting position to challenge Weber midway through the race, swapping the lead multiple times in the end it would be Klemme holding onto the number one spot with his Hong Nor XB5i. Josh Sargent would finish where he started in the third position with his Sworkz buggy less than half a second back to Weber.

Nitro buggy would have Johnathan Shanklin with his TLR buggy grabbing the TQ relying on his AKA Tires to give him the traction he needed, but unfortunately during warm-ups he would suffer an impact with another racer causing his steering to not work properly during the race so his pole position was short lived. Derek Coats took full advantage of this grabbing the lead from lap two and holding onto it until the end of the main. Jeff Eden running Hong Nor would also capitalize from starting in the third spot to finishing in second just 2 seconds back to Coats. Shanklin would salvage the race to the best he could by finishing up third on the podium.

Our open class would see Terry flip-flop Lawson, grabbing the TQ with his Tekno e-buggy. He would turn that into a win by leading the whole race while everybody else in the back fought over positions. Sean List would move up to second with his TLR etruggy, Addison Hogard looked to take a solid second until a bad lap on the second to last lap let Sean and Shelby Moore by her. She would try to get back around Shelby but ran out of time Shelby would take 3rd just 2 seconds up with her Tekno ebuggy.

40+ E buggy had kevin Bronner running his Kyosho MP 11 put it on the pole position unfortunately after lap one he would drop down to second place and Bradley Deem with his Tekno E buggy would take the lead, midway through the race they did swap positions a couple of times but Bradley would hang on to the win. Kevin would have to settle for a second and Jeff Eden would take the final spot on the podium.
