Team Associated / Reedy Sweep Modified Buggy Classes at Round 1 Victorian Drivers Series

Mark Rogers in 2WD and Ray Munday in 4WD led Team Associated and Reedy to a sweep of the Modified Buggy classes in Round 1 of the Victorian Drivers Series in Australia. Held in the regional town of Wodonga, over 90 entries raced on the fantastic red clay outdoor track prepped by the small but enthusiastic club.

2WD Modified
AE/Reedy factory driver Ray Munday took TQ with his Reedy-powered B6D. In the finals it was a three-way battle between Ray, Matt Griffin (B6D) and Mark Rogers (B6D). With three nail-biting position changes in the last lap, Mark Rogers emerged a popular winner with his Reedy-equipped B6D, with Matt and Ray taking a podium sweep for AE! Nine out of the top ten buggies were AE B6Ds.

4WD Modified
Matt Griffin took TQ with his B64D. In the finals, Matt, Ray (B64D/Reedy) and Anthony Campbell (B64D) took a win each, with Ray taking the overall win from Matt and Anthony. Nine out of the ten A finalists were using the new B64D.

Special mention to three AE junior racers who made A finals in both 2WD and 4WD: Carter Sims (13), Jordan Isergin (12), and Lachlan Munday (11). It won't be long until they are on the buggy podium! In addition, Jordan placed third overall in the Modified Truck class with his T5M.

Thanks to the volunteers from the Wodonga RC club for putting on a fantastic event!
