9 GARET SANTAYAN - HPI
10 RONALD PANELO - YOKOMO
Blistering runs by the new Schumacher MI2 of Ronchie Garcia puts him on top of the grid after the 2 qualifying runs. The first heat was a little too hotly contested at the beginning as the top drivers battle for position early on. A few too many errors by Ronchie Garcia knocks him out of the top and Jason Rodriguez takes the first heat. The 2nd heat was dominated by the Yokomo¡¦s as Jason and Gerry Soler trade positions all throughout the 5 minutes. A desperation move by Jason proved futile as Gerry Soler crosses the finish line first to take the 2nd heat. The 3rd heat was a knockout between Gerry and Jason who were the only ones eligible to take home the championship at this point. But, the glitching car of TQ Ronchie Garcia accidentally takes Gerry off the pace and giving Jason enough breathing room to cinch the win. A good run by Joseph Salcedo in the final heat! Props to Ronald Panelo for a solid A-main appearance.

Sonny proves his tq was no fluke as he powers his ultra-light losi to the first spot in the first heat. An exceptional run by the brand new Schumacher of Mike Ang keeps him at 2nd place close behind Sonny until the battery pops out when he forgets to place the clip! TQ Sonny was absent on the 2nd heat and 2nd on the grid Noel takes the lead with Mike Ang close behind¡K after a solid battle for 5 minutes, the new MI2 takes the win. The last heat was a grind! Solid battle for 2nd between Chuck and Mike Ang for a few laps allow the leader Allan to extend his lead. But Mike Ang soon escapes and catches Allan with 2 laps to go. Unfortunately, a racing incident takes the leader out and Allan takes the win on the last lap. Solid run by the brand new Schumacher MI2 which was only finished in the morning of the race! Special props to Jon Albano for exhibiting class A sportsmanship!!!

After the longest wait of the race day. The foam b-mainers were itching to get their hands on the wheel. A solid start by "MUGEN BOY" Mitch Estella keeps him at first throughout the heat. Servo problems kept TQ Carlo off the race and the rest of the battle was to be decided in the pits as much as the track. Props go to Team Batangas with a solid performance!
