Buggy final running NOW - http://liverc.rccars.com/liverc.php

The final started out with Drake leading, opening a small gap. Ryan Maifield challenged, but a flameout and subsequently breaking his car put him out. This left Tebo and Drake motoring at the front with Truhe and Cavalieri catching them, waiting in the wings. Position swaps at the 24-30 min mark between the first four drivers (drake, tebo, truhe, cavalieri). At 32mins an awesome four-way battle ensued, the lead swapping positions several times - 6sec separating the top 4. At 35mins Truhe established a 6sec lead from Ryan Cavalieri, with Drake in 3rd and Tebo 4th. With 2min left Truhe and Cavlieri had an epic battle which went down to the wire. With less than 1min to go, Ryan Cavalieri 'nudged' Truhe's car giving him the win.
