B6D and Reedy dominate Australian Nats

The 2016 Australian Electric Offroad Nats were held over the weekend in Perth, Western Australia, with over 150 entries converging at the West Coast track. The club put on a fantastic layout on a medium-grip clay surface which was very bumpy but fast and flowing, and was very challenging for all racers.

Team Associated and Reedy Power dominated the 2WD Open class, sweeping the podium, with 17-year-old Queenslander Mitchell Steer taking his first nationals win (and TQ) from fellow Queensland junior Alex Bernadzik (14 years old), and Victorian Ray Munday finishing third the day after celebrating his 40th birthday. The B6D/Reedy combo was untouchable on the track, winning every qualifier and every final and a total of four in the modified A final.

Alex Bernadzik backed up his second-place finish with a win in the SCT class with his SC5M, defending his 2015 title. Mitchell Pratt finished third with his Team Associated SC5M as well.
