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!
