The 2009 Kyosho Fall Classic just took place this past weekend at Revelation Raceway in Ontario, CA. This years turn-out was great with Team Drivers from Kyosho, Team Associated, Hot Bodies, Mugen, Team Losi, Tamiya, and CEN all attending.

This year 3 5-minute qualifiers would be ran on Saturday using the rocket round format. Then all the main events would be ran on Sunday. The track layout was awesome that challenged even the best drivers at the event. Lap times were in the 41 and 42 second range for the Pro classes.

Team Orion Factory Driver Ryan Cavalieri set the overall TQ for the 1/8 Electric Pro Buggy Class. The A-Main would consist of an 8-minute sprint race. At the start of the tone, Cavalieri got a great jump and began to attack the track. His AE teamate and team manager Brent Thielke was close behind in 2nd. At the halfway point of the main, Cavaleri had a 10 second lead on second place and began to pull away more and more. RC crossed the finish line first to win his first class of the weekend. Thielke would finish in 2nd, with a hard charging Cody King making a big comeback after a rough start to finish up on the podium.

The 1/8 Nitro Pro Truggy 30-Minute A-Main would be the last race of the event. In qualifying it was up and comer Dylan Rodriguez who set the overall TQ. At the start of the race Cavalieri and King got around Rodriguez quickly and it looked like we would once again see a great battle between Cavalieri and King. Ryan and Cody were very close for the first half of the race. Cavalieri continued to drive perfect and then put it on cruise control when he had over a half lap lead. At the end of the main, it was Cavalieri who would take the home his 2nd win of the weekend. King would easily take home the 2nd position and another up and comer Matt Schreffler taking 3rd.
