Tresrey Off-Road Race 4WD Challenge Round Five

Round five of the Tresrey Off-Road Race 4WD Challenge with “Charity Auction for Sendai Earthquake” was held last Sunday at the TRS circuit in Matsusaka-city, Japan. Some 73 racers joined the event, making it the best attended race that the TRS circuit ever had again for an off-road meeting. In round one of qualifying, it was TRF (Tamiya Racing Factory) driver Satoshi Maezumi who managed to take top time. In the second round though,  Maezumi broke his car in warm-up so it was Noriyuki Kawashima (ZX5) who managed 12 laps in 5m 4s to take TQ. Hideki Nakajima (B44) was second overall and Maezumi (TRF502X) from one in third. Unfortunately, the finals was cancelled because of heavy rain and so the final result was decided based on the qualifying result. There were 20 Durango DEX410/Rs in the race and two of them made the top ten – they were Takashi Nobuhara in fourth and Kenji Masuda ninth. Yokomo driver Kenji Tsuruta (Yokomo B-MAX) managed sixth with TRF driver Takayuki Kono seventh.

After the awards ceremony, Tresrey held a lucky draw prize which included a DEX410 2010-spec kit, Speed Passion RS2 kits, speed controllers and motors.  Special thanks to Team Durango, Speed Passion and TRS. The Charity Auction for Sendai earthquake was held with a total 29 items which included all the famous driver’s body shells from Europe and US (like David Spashett, Dustin Evans, Hupo Hönigl) and Ryan Cavalieri’s pit stand. Tresrey are sending total amount of this charity auction (JPY87,900) with all the entry fees of the race and some other donations to the Japanese Red Cross. Special thanks to the drivers and people who gave their items for this charity auction.
