Stoub Wins ROAR 13.5 4WD Buggy Nationals!

Thursday, Aug 17, 2017 at 12:00am UTC

The 2017 ROAR Off-Road Electric Buggy Nationals was hosted by The Track in Gaithersburg, Maryland to crown champions in several classes, including the increasingly popular and competitive 13.5 4WD Buggy class. Slightly slower than Modified, this class places a premium on both driver skill and a powerful electronics package.

Dreighton Stoub, driving a Reedy-powered B64D, claimed the pole position after setting the fastest time in the first three qualifying rounds. Unfortunately for Dreighton, a bad run in A1 meant that he had to come back strong in each of the next two legs to fight for the national title.

In A2, Dreighton pushed hard and finished in second place, which meant that he was still in contention for the win. From the pole, Dreighton drove away from the field in A3 and won with a comfortable margin. When the points were tallied, Dreighton came out on top to become the 2017 ROAR National Champion.

Special thanks to ROAR and The Track for organizing and hosting this prestigious event. Congratulations to all the winners.
