15-year old Daryl Thong took podium finishing 2nd in Super Stock 17.5T at the Racecraft Infinity 2011 On-Road Challenge Race 6. His ORCA-powered XRAY T3'11 was running on pace with the leaders with a big chance to win the event. Using the version 2.1 firmware on the ORCA Vritra VTC Pro-Spec MK2 ESC, Daryl Thong was very faster and smoother in his driving, posted impressive fastest lap of the day for Super Stock 17.5T at 17.6s. Daryl Thong was able to challenge for the lead many times but mechanical failure in 2 rounds dropped him to 2nd. But until the very last round, Daryl Thong was on a TQ pace which means he would finished in 1st overall, but one too many mistakes missed the TQ by just 2 seconds, losing his lead to Jason Lee in his Tamiya TRF417. Impressive 9-year old Dominic Quek in his Acorn Racing-powered XRAY T3'11 completed 3rd in the podium.
