Ryan Dunford takes two at the Exeter Hobbies Toys for Tots race

 

Exeter Hobbies held a Toys for Tots race Thanksgiving weekend, Dec 2nd, to raise donations for the Marine Corp Reserve toy drive. Tekin/TLR, team drivers Ryan Dunford and Doug "Casper" Nielsen made the drive up to the Central Valley from Southern California to help support this great cause and to mix it up with the locals. The race generated 80+ entries and tons of toys. Ryan and Casper both entered Pro Stock Buggy and Expert 4wd Short Course for the event.

In Pro Stock Buggy, Ryan would take his TLR 22 2.0 buggy out to a clean start and end up with a wire to wire finish in the 1st spot. Casper was close behind until the 3-minute mark, but was not able to get though traffic as clean and a few small bobbles resulted in a second place finish.
 
 
Expert 4wd SCT was not as big of a class but just as exciting. As the main got under way, Ryan would hit the first jump wrong and pile up the field, allowing Casper to take the early lead. As everyone settled, in traffic would end up playing a large role in this race as neither Casper or Ryan seemed to want to keep the lead for too long as they swapped positions a few times throughout the main. At the finish it would be Ryan taking the win with Casper right behind him for an exciting race!
