Ok weekend just gone saw the second leg of the WACC (Western Australia challenge cup). This leg was run on the grass at Radio Rally Club, And is quiet challenging with the super high grip... If you don't run there often set up can be quite tricky not having the XB9 there before we had a few changes through out the day by the end of the day we were happy with the XB9(but knew we could have a bit more), Going back through the set up sheets from the 808 we tryed a few changes which made the XB9 better. Semi heat 2 on Sunday saw us move out to the front and being able to hold it through out the 20min semi.. Truggy was the same but having some great duels with fellow competitors made for some nail biting racing....

Truggy main was 40min and with a great start we were managed to get into and run with the front pack having positions change every few minutes and coming down to fuel stops also made for some close racing but it was Jordan Steward holding onto 1st place and Jaicob grabbing second close racing and the track starting to blow out made for some great racing...

With the Truggys out the way we were also second off the grid in Buggy getting a clean start and holding onto second behind Josh Pain we settled in and was building a great gap.... But by the 22 minute mark our clutch bearings decided to give up the ghost which made for a quick bearing change, Once back out there we were dead last but managed to crawl back into 8th spot....

Great weekend and real close racing, Bug thanks to the RRC members for putting on a great show....
