Pro Truggy had Team Losi Sunny O. take the overall TQ Jeremy Whiting starting in 2nd with his Serpent Colton Kieffer starting off in 3rd with his Serpent, Josh Karl put his Kyosho in 4th on the grid, and Greg Baumel qualified 5th. After the dust settled it would be Colton Kiefer with the lead and Sunny O. in second then about half way through Kieffer had issues and had to take his truck to his pits ending his chance and winning. Sunny O. grabbed the win; Josh Karl moved his way up to 2nd, Greg Baumel in 3rd, Chris Aschliman getting 4th, and Jeremy Whiting in 5th.
 

 
 

Pro Buggy was one for the books! The New Losi 3.0 took the top 3 spots in qualifying as well as the top 3 spots after the 30 min A-main. Jason Hudson was on fire all day Saturday with his new Losi 3.0 taking the TQ, Sunny O grabbing the 2nd place on the grid, and young gun Collin Weatherholt grabbing the 3rd place on the starting line. Ryan Klemme with the new Hot Bodies D812 starting 4th and Jeff Wood starting 5th with his Kyosho Mp9. Some issues in the A-main dropped Hudson back to 4th.
