Ruud Schuitmaker wins Rd5 of Dutch 200mm Nationals

The 5th and final round of the Dutch 1/10th scale 200mm Nationals revisited the small and technical Gouda track in the center of the Netherlands this weekend gone and the racers were greeted by dry conditions and despite the low turn out the racing was close and competitive. Qualifying saw Mugen racer and round 4 winner Richard Keur take the pole position from newly crowned National Champion Maarten Van Lierop racing for Xray in 2nd. In the final a number of flame outs meant that Keur was out of contention early on and this let a fast paced Ruud Schuitmaker, racing for Serpent, up to the head of the field where despite some pressure from team mate Remy Moller could take the checkered flag in first, 11 seconds in front of Moller in 2nd with Van Lierop ending the race in 3rd.
