Report by Zak Finlay

EWS round 3 was held this past Sunday in the south of England. The XRAY UK team were in attendance and hoping to continue their recent run of good form.

In the 17.5 stock class, Team XRAY’s Zak Finlay was able to pick up where he left off at the previous round, by taking the fastest time in all four rounds of qualifying. Zak was joined in the A-Final by the XRAY’s of Tony Broad, Ricky Copsey, Sam Nicholls and Mason Weston. 5 cars in the A-Main made XRAY the most well represented brand in the A-final.

In the A-Final Zak was able to build a small gap during the opening laps and then maintain that throughout the final to take the overall victory. This victory sealing the overall stock championship for EWS this season, with two rounds remaining.

Harley Eldridge maintained her fast pace from the previous races and was able to line up a strong 2nd place making it an XRAY 1-2 after qualification. Marcus Askell and Adam Southgate made it 4 XRAY’s in the modified A-Final.
