1-2-3 finish for Tamiya TB EVO3
Surikarn survived the frosty weather to finish an inspiring 2nd behind team mate Satoshi Maezumi, who has now won four times at this winter meetings. Masayuki Oyaizu completed the top three line up. The TRF Team managed to put three of their drivers in the A-Main and a total of 5 TB EVO3s in the A Main.
Surikarn and his Dad arrived in Japan on Thursday morning and headed straight to the Miwa Hobby track, accompanied by TRF Team members. Unfortunately, the day was ruined by the rain, forcing everyone to move and practiced at the indoor track instead of the event venue outdoor track. Surikarn seemed to adapt to the new track quickly and was the fastest man on the track. This was his first major event with his new ride, TB EVO3. While he admitted that he was still to find the best setup, he had already shown the superiority of this new chasis to the competitions back home in Thailand. All of TRF members now run the TB EVO3.
