TLR Performs at South African National Event

From the South African National event in Margate, Kwazulu Natal:


The race was very exciting as the T.Q. in Buggy, Dean Steenmans was leading and picked up a problem. He was eight laps behind and slowly, but surely catching up. Scott Mcclure raced well under pressure and just managed to take honors with 0.15 of a second difference with Dean finishing in second and Charles Hollander closely in third.
In 1/8 Truggy Jason raced like a champ. He took the lead and never looked back.

On lap three Ricardo experienced some problems early on giving the lead to his TLR teammate Joao Lopes, the young tiger, to take the win at the final round of the championship with his TLR 8IGHT 2.0 EU buggy.
