Bloomfield wins Novarossi Winter Series Rd2
The second round of the Novarossi Winter series was held last weekend at the Novarossi Raceway and it was Elliot Boots and his Associated RC8 that started off the day off in fantastic form by setting TQ for the round and securing maximum points. In rounds 2 and 3 it was the turn of Losi 8ight racer Darren Bloomfield to take the top spot and he was able to secure TQ for the meeting. The start of the final was exceptional, Elliot and Darren swapped the lead in what seemed like ever corner for the first few laps, outstanding control and great respect between these two racers allowing them to race hard. It was Darren who managed to get the all important break just before the first pit stop and could pull away from the chasing pack. Elliot continued his excellent form for the day to finish second and once again an excellent run for Ed Kerry gave him the third spot.
