Brian Strange continued his LSR hot streak, winning at the track in pro buggy for the 10th time in a row. Strange TQ’d with his Losi 22 on Panther tires and then led from start to finish in posting the victory in the eight-minute A main. BMiller teammate Eddie Bernal kept the pressure on Strange throughout and ended up finishing just three seconds back in second. Teammate Justin Moon completed the BMiller sweep, grabbing the third spot.

BMiller Racing also swept the podium in 4wd short course with Josh O’Connell returning to the top of the box in his Losi SCTE. O’Connell took the lead in the second lap of the six-minute A main and never looked back, driving a smooth race while working through lapped traffic. BMiller teammate Lou Figueria, who has been very hot of late, finished second just 3.9 seconds back and fellow team driver Patrick Zhao was a car length back of Figueria for third.

Bernal has been away from running his Associated SC10 for the past couple months, but it didn’t take him long to knock off the rust, winning the 2wd open short course class. Bernal TQ’d and put the top spot on the grid to good use, registering a wire-to-wire victory in the eight-minute A main. Local standout Nathan Lavery was second, 14 seconds back, while BMiller’s Terry Wickum was third just behind Lavery.
