DNX408 Dominates R5 of the Slough Summer Series

Round five of the Slough Summer Series saw 83 competitors arrive for what was going to be a hot days racing! With temperatures reaching 30-degrees Celsius and little or no cloud cover, the weather wasn’t bad for October!
Qualification was dominated by Kevin Brunsden TQ’ing all three rounds.  Callum Niblett managed third in the first round narrowly missing out on eight laps by just 0.17 of a second due to a mistake just before the timing loop. Round two saw Callum go fifth which was enough to secure fifth on the grid in the A final.
To cope with the track conditions which were very dusty and bumpy in places, the drivers elected to go for longer top arms on the suspension, moving the pivot balls to the inner holes on the shock towers. Additionally they all upped the shock oils by 50CST to 600 in the front and 550 in the rear to cope better with the high temperatures.
In the main final Kevin led from start to finish in a class of his own.  Tommy Chung was forced to retire with a mechanical issue whilst Callum put in some clean laps moving up the field slowly and eventually finishing in third place overall and that meant he’d TQ’d and won the juniors.
