Top drivers from around North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia showed up for the Blue/Grey Classic last Sunday, hosted by Nitro Valley Speedway in Cherryville, NC, which is located about 30 miles from The Farm 2, host of the 2008 Worlds. The event attracted over 100 drivers including Robin Nelson, Ryan Lopez, Travis Phillips, Chris Pace and Brandon Melton as well as local favorites such as Robby Saxton, Jeremy Talent and Justin Atkins. Ryan Lopez TQ’d the Pro Buggy class, but in the final he flamed out after battling Robin Nelson during the first half of the A-Main. This allowed Robin Nelson to go on and take the win in the A-Main with his Werks B7ProC powered Hyper 9, giving Hobao their first big win on the East Coast with the new buggy.
