Perfect run nets Martin pole for 2WD

Lee Martin is Top Qualifier for 2WD Buggy at the the TLR/Spektrum Euro Offroad Series in Belgium after a perfect morning by the Tamiya driver netted four TQ runs from as many heats.  Despite one round of qualifying remaining for the class which will take place in the morning ahead of the finals, Martin has put pole position beyond the reach of his rivals irrespective of the out come of the final qualifier as each driver must count their best two scores.

The European Champion produced the fastest run of the day in the penultimate qualifier but only by 6/10th of a second as a much improved Joern Neumann became the only other driver to run a 15-lap heat around the Black Country Arena track.  Setting the third fastest time of Q4 was Darren Bloomfield but with the action for the rest of today now switching to the five rounds of 4WD Buggy qualifying he along with the rest of the drivers will have to wait till the morning to see where they will ultimately line up for the 2WD finals.
