With the weather easing off a little and a dry track the racing at the Novarossi Raceway this past weekend was fantastic. Elliot's boots (RC8 RB) owned qualification taking all three rounds with David Spashett (Losi Novarossi) second and Edd Kerry (Losi Novarossi) third. In the Truggy class it was a battle all day between John Hazelwood (XRAY OS) and Reece Sawyer (Losi Novarossi), both drivers missing one round during the day due to their mechanics whooopsy's but still all in good fun. John took top spot for the final with Reece second and Mark Truslove (Losi Novarossi) in third.

Bumping up from the B final in the buggy class we had two Losi drivers Pete Stevens and Mark Collyer, both driving consistent and steady for the 20minute final. Ricky Cooper just missing out by less than 4 seconds.

The A final was a relatively clean start but a small mistake from Elliot gave the lead to David for the first few laps. It was not long until Elliot was back on the tail of David and this is where they stayed for the next 10 laps, never touching but racing hard and clean. Elliot finally found some space and took the lead and then control of the final. The positions in the final then stayed very stable with the only real battle between Richard Bettaney and Kevin Brunsden, small mistakes from both drivers eventually resulted in Kevin taking the third spot.

The truggy final was fantastic to watch, John Hazelwood and Reece sawyer never more than a second apart. Small mistakes from either driver and the lead would change hands. Towards the end of the final John managed to get a small gap from Reece and it looked like race over, but some bad luck and John had to retire leaving Reece all the victory spoils. Joe Joyce once again put in a solid excellent drive to pick up where John stopped to claim second spot.
