Vega had a really great weekend, with Kev Lee TQ and winning Stotfold and Daniel Watts winning the meeting and coming 3rd in the Taplow Winter Series.

This is a great achievement for both drivers especially Daniel as he has only had the car for 3 weeks!

Kevin Lee at Stotfold Winter Series, 20th March 2011

This was Kev's first chance to run the Vega outside in the dry since starting to run the car a short while ago. Stotfold is a high grip bumpy track with numerous jumps and it's also the venue for the first national of 2011 so there were a number of top drivers in attendance for some outdoor practice. Kev managed to take TQ with his runs in round 1 and 4 which also turned out to be the only 14 lappers of the day. He was consistently able to put in fastest laps in each run. John Spencer and Matt Owen also managed to make it into the top 10 with there Kyosho Vegas (This was only Matt's second meeting with his). John also had some of the fastest laps of the meeting but unfortunately struggled with consistency due to choosing to do both classes (I think for the last time). In the final Kev pulled out a lead from 2nd place man Danny Mcgee, and apart from a small error riding a hose, had a clean run to take the win by a few seconds from Simon Reeves and Danny in 3rd.

The final round of qualifying was close between Daniel Watts (Vega Elite) and Chris Perry (X-Factory X-6). It was extremely close but in the end Chris Perry inched ahead to get the fastest time of that round. But it wasn’t enough for him because the Vega had already qualified first overall.

A Final Leg 2
The second leg of the A final was a close race between Daniel Watts and Chris Perry. The two racers switched places for nearly half the race until on the last few corners Chris Perry managed to crawl ahead to win the race by one second and Daniel Watts finishing very closely behind him.

A Final Leg 3
In the final leg of the final Chris Perry unfortunately had to drop out due to technical problems with his car, and the scores were level between Daniel Watts and Matt Perry, so this meant it was winner takes all with the two racers. The race had a shaky start but the two leaders (Dan & Matt) got away cleanly. Daniel Watts led nearly all the way through the race with matt just a few inches behind his car. Towards the end of the race Daniel was pulling away from matt. Desperate to grab victory Matt Perry tried to jump over Daniel on the last corner but failed, allowing Daniel to cross the line in first place meaning that Daniel Watts and his Vega Elite had won the day.
