Associated’s Cavalieri Wins RCX 2008 Supercross

 RCX 2008 Supercross

It’s not uncommon for Team Associated’s Ryan Cavalieri to be atop the podium. Even though the RCX Supercross track course was tight, and the racers started side-by-side, as opposed to staggered, Cavalieri found his way into victory lane—twice. In the Buggy class, Cavalieri cruised to victory with his Team Orion CRF-powered Associated RC8. In the truggy class it was a different story. Cavalieri looked like he was going to settle for second as he contently followed his teammate Ryan Maifield. As Maifield was about to complete his final lap and thus earn his own $500, he had victory slip away. After clearing the front double jumps, Maifield’s truck (Kyosho STR-R) stuck a huge rock that had worked its way to the track’s surface. The rock nearly stopped Maifield and allowed Cavalieri the opportunity to sneak by and grab an additional 500 bones. Ryan Cavalieri won the Buggy class last year, and was a double winner two years ago.
