Report by Larry Blair (VRC Race Reporter)

Season 1 of the 2016 1/8 Nitro Pro Buggy class kicked off at Silver Dollar and this race would prove to be a struggle for some of the best drivers in the world. From the beginning of the race when Uwe De Zwart had the start that we all dread, the big crash at the start or on lap 1 when Martin Wollanka lost control and went from 1st to 3rd in the blink of an eye. Things seemed as if they were going to be tough for this first race of the season. But when it was all said and done Martin Wollanka proved once again why he is one of the top racers in the world by securing the victory and taking that early season points lead.

Martin Wollanka has always been a top level driver throughout vrc pro racings history and with this win he adds another win to his legacy. With the level of competition in this seasons class we are gonna find out who can stand up and give Martin a challenge, on to round 2!

Uwe De Zwart, the 14 year old phenom from Austria made a fantastic run and to be able to recover from the beginning and finish on the lead lap and the leader is Wollanka, only goes to show that this kid is for real! Great job Uwe!

Warren Jones did not disappoint with a solid 3rd place podium. Warren is no stranger to the podium either with 49 career wins and is among the best!

Thank you VRC Pro for giving worldwide talent a beautiful platform to showcase its skill through racing!

See you guys on the track!
