Robbers and Maifield win indoors - Last weekend’s Midwest Indoor Nitro Championship, which followed the previous week’s Jared Tebo domination of the electric race, saw Ohio’s own Hot Bodies team driver Jesse Robbers drive his D8 and VE8 to the win in the Nitro and Electric Buggy classes. Two-time ROAR National Champion and 1/8-Scale Truck king Ryan Maifield does what he does best, winning that class handily. Get more info on the event at CRCRC.com.
