Hot Bodies made available, and of course it’s
had its share of success. Since its NORRCA
National Championship title with Travis Amezcua
in the United States, the Lightning has been
a favourite buggy for club racers and bashers
everywhere. In 2007 it took home its first
international titles with Surikarn C and Atsushi
Hara at the controls. Surikarn won the FEMCA
Championship and Hara walked away with
the JMRCA National Championship. With the
all-new D8 racing buggy and more top off-road
racers joining the ranks at Team HB, we’ll be
expanding the trophy cabinet again very soon!
