Boughton, Norfolk | 13th – 14th June 2026
Report by: Steven Brooke / Tony Bishop
The BRCA 1/10 Off-road Truck Championships, Round 3, were held at Boughton Raceway in Norfolk in the middle of June, the track is large with a flowing layout and man-made jumps, the layout was the same as last year but run in the opposite direction.
As is the norm with the Truck section, practice started Saturday 12 noon, in dry sunny weather, but with a strong westerly wind. The Truck section trialed running the open practice as 1 practice heat with all drivers in it, so laps times could be viewed on the rc-timing website, and it was deemed to be a success.
Sunday, we awoke to clear blue skies, with the forecast to remain dry, but a much lighter wind than the previous day.
At Drivers Briefing we held a minutes silence for Simon Guant who had unfortunately lost his battle with Cancer the previous weekend, Simon had been a large character within the Truck National scene and will be greatly missed.
9 Heats of Timed Practice with 74 entries started at 8.25am Sunday morning, followed by four rounds of round-by-round Qualifying
As is the norm these days, Qualifying would consist of four different classes of 1/10 electric Truck. 2WD Short Course, 4WD Short Course, 2WD Stadium Truck and within that class the 2WD Vintage/Rear Motor Stadium Trucks, basically running to Iconic Revival regulations and limited to 10.5 turn brushless motors.
4WD Short Course qualification was taken by Mark Everitt, 2nd was Dan Staite and 3rd was, one of the group of drivers from Eden Park Raceway, Shareef Qureshi.
With 15 4WD’s the B Final was won by Haiden Hicks, winning legs 1 & 3, 2nd, having won leg 2 of the finals, was Phil Birchall and 3rd was Marc Biddiss.
The 4WD Short Course A Final had great wheel to wheel battles throughout all three legs, Mark Everitt would take the overall win, winning Legs 1 & 2, 2nd would be Dan Staite after winning the third leg and last place on the podium would be Ben Baxter.
2WD Short Course qualification was taken by the reigning 2WD Champion and Round 2, at Surrey and Hants, winner Jaime Long, winning all 4 rounds, 2nd overall was Round 1, at A1 Raceway, winner Mark Everitt and 3rd another former champion, James Moulds.
With 15 2WD’s, we would see three different winners in the legs of the B Final, John Yarham JR, Daniel Moulds and John Yarham SNR but eventually the B Final was won by Daniel, 2nd was John SNR and 3rd was Sebastian Birchall.
The 2WD Short Course A Final would have the same top 3 as qualifying, with Jamie Long winning all 3 legs ahead of Mark Everitt in 2nd and James Moulds 3rd.
2WD Stadium Trucks Vintage/Rear Motor
6 entries at this round of the Championships, they would all qualify together in heat 5.
Ben Baxter, another driver from Eden Park Raceway, would qualify first, from Luke O’Neill and the Truck Sections very own, Stuart Carling third, Ben would have qualified 18th overall within the modern class. In the finals Ben would win the first two legs to take the overall win, with Luke 2nd overall after winning the third leg, and Dave Richards finishing 3rd.
2WD Stadium Trucks would have 38 entries, Round 2 winner, again at Surrey and Hants, Jamie Long, would take TQ with 2 round wins ahead of Tony Bishop and Alan Wheeldon who both would take a round win each, but it was very close with less than a second covering all 3 on their fastest run times. Junior Michael Halsey would make his Truck National A Final lining up 5th on the grid.
The D Final was won by Mark Kilsworth taking all 3 legs from Martin White 2nd and Chris Hampson in third.
The C Final was won by Andy Bird taking legs 1 & 2 from Rich Hipkiss 2nd after winning the third leg and Dave Griffiths 3rd overall.
The B Final was a close-run affair, the top 3 would all win a leg each, Charlie Hall won overall with his 2nd place in leg 1 and 1st in the third leg, 2nd Adam Boffey after winning the first leg and 3rd Steve Bunning after winning the second leg.
The A final, and it did not end well for pole man Jamie Long, on the other hand, Tony Bishop would win all 3 legs to take the overall, with Alan Wheeldon 2nd and Keith Halsey nicking 3rd place on the podium.
