Das AMS 10.0 ist zu Ende. Es war eine großartige Veranstaltung, die Strecke hatte weniger große als letztes Jahr, aber immer noch herausfordernd genug, dass man sich wirklich anstrengen musste, um schnell zu sein. In Truggy war die Creme de la Creme der amerikanischen Top-Fahrer dabei. Der Sieg ging an Ty Tessmann vor Ryan Lutz und Spencer Rivkin.

Race Report by Paul Ciccarello
Back from AMS 10.0!! It was a great event, the track was less radical in terms of big air than last year but still challenging enough that you had to really hit your marks to be fast. I also enjoyed getting done early every day, it was a much less stressful and we got to enjoy a nice dinner every night after the race and good sleep!
This year Ty, Gord and Tanner Stees were able to attend, they chose to run the thursday practice which was good for me since I couldn’t get there early. They were able to dial in the cars so when it was time for me to run I was really close right off the bat!
I ran +40 ebuggy, +40 nitro buggy and Pro Ebuggy. I was able to TQ Both +40 classes with some challenges from Drew Spurgen, Gary Studt, and Mike Sontag. In Pro ebuggy I qualified 9th in the B main with 2 -15th place runs.
In the +40 nitro main I was able to take the lead right off the start and pull away a little, Gary was able to take the lead when I came in to pit because he was going for the longer pit strategy. Since he was doing that I knew I had to push and limit my mistakes to be able to keep a good enough gap with my extra stop. In the end I took the win, my car and tires were great and I didnt have to get marshaled the whole 30 minutes from my own mistakes so that was really good!

In the first +40 ebuggy main, I made some early driving mistakes and fell back to second. Gary would lead most of the race but he got caught up with some back markers and I was able to get by. The end result was me taking the win by 4 tenths of a second. It was a really exciting race! In A2 again I made a mistake on the first lap and that let Drew get by, he was running a good race until he had a body issue which let me retake the lead. Him and Mike then were putting pressure on me but Drew had a battery issue and Mike took a close second.
