Tamiya Trucks was once again a fun filled adventure with the a few more new faces taking up the baton most notably Billy Fletcher driving a borrowed truck he somehow managed to put 3^rd in the A final despite a severe power deficit, Malc Hall leading the way from Pole was able to bring home both legs ahead of the ever fast and fun Tom Hampson & RugRacers team member Alan Chipolina.  The win awarding Malc Hall the championship.
