Bobbimaru was seen to be struggling hard but encountered many problem during qualifying.

I checked my car  and found out it's tweak badly that night. I decided to switch to my spare car which i  borrowed from my friend (Ah Keat) and set it up according to Ronald Volker IIC Setup.

Sunday was the last heat for both class. After i switched to my spare car, the car performs much much better than previously. I managed to get 3rd place for stock class and 3rd for mod class for the last qualifying round but as this is the last qualifying round i(Yokomo) only managed to get 5th place for mod and stock class for the final round.
