Some action clips from Round 1 of the Polish 1/8 Off-Road Nationals!
Had an awesome time battling it out with the fast Polish drivers, and my mighty Tekno held its own 💪

I seeded 4th, qualified 3rd out of 48 drivers, and made the A-Main — which was my goal going in! In the mains, I had some epic races and close battles, finishing 5-5-4 for 5th overall. Super happy with that result in such a stacked field!
