Kyosho Mini- Z Fall Classic 2011

Location: R241 Raceway at Kyosho America Headquarters in Southern California

Much like the Summer Shootout, the Kyosho Fall Classic was a success. Even the strong winds couldn’t keep our dedicated racers away. Three classes, (Kyosho EX, Kyosho Cup and GT Stock our Mini Z Buggy class) had to be switched to exhibition classes. The Kyosho EX class, for both new and budget-minded racers, has simple rules that only allow the addition of bearings and Kyosho racing tires. This class gives every participant an equal chance to win with a minimal investment. Tsukada lead the field making very few errors throughout the race. It was a battle until the end of the race with Opi, another local driver and R241 regular, but in the end, Tsukada just dominated.

The Kyosho Cup class is for those who would like to experiment with a more modified car, while still staying within a budget. By allowing only Kyosho factory option parts, this class allows a little more freedom while ensuring there are no unique or hard-to-find parts used. The same setting was repeated from the earlier EX class, with Tsukada and Opi going at it head-to-head for a second time. Tsukada just outdrove everyone in this class as well, giving him the victory. 

Kyosho Cup Results:

1. Tsukada
2. Opi

GT Stock was the last race of the day. This class is open to modifications and has a group of devoted racers in the western region, thanks to various Mini-Z clubs running similar rules. Brian Ma, a new racer to R241 Raceway, came in and dominated the final to take the win. 

GT Stock Results:

1. Brian Ma
2. Ryan
