Alex Bernadzik Takes Two at Australia's Golden Goat

Thursday, Sep 28, 2017 at 12:00am UTC

Last weekend I attended the fourth annual running of "the Golden Goat" held at the Goat Track on Queensland's Gold Coast. This Team Associated-sponsored event is held at Australia's only indoor off-road facility where the fast and furious clay track produces great racing. The racing at this event is always exciting, as no competitor runs a single lap on a new layout until the first round of qualifying.

Round one saw 8-minute qualifiers for both 4WD Modified and 2WD Modified Buggy, the same format followed in round 2. I was able to secure TQ in both classes with my B64D and B6 on rails. The finals consisted of long races for both classes, 20 minutes for 2WD and 12 minutes for 4WD. My Reedy Power-equipped buggies got the job done in 4WD and 2WD, with the win in both!
