Juanito Hidalgo wins Spanish 200mm Rd1

The Opening round of the Spanish 1/10th 200mm National Championships was run last weekend at the RC Club Santa Oliva in the east of Spain. The race was held in dry conditions and after qualifying it was Eduardo Escandon that took the pole position ahead of Josue Artiles in 2nd and Ramon Guash 3rd. The beginning of the final saw a good start for Martin Sevilla, who moved into the lead early on with pole man Escandon having some problems and dropping down the order. A steady beginning from Juanito Hidalgo saw him move up the order to take the lead from Sevilla around the 10 minute mark and then proceeded to pull out a lap lead by the end of the race, taking the win from Ramon Guash in 2nd with Jonnhy Pastor in 3rd, a further 2 laps back.
