Connolly & Doran take Irish Nats Rd1

The RCCAOI Irish National On road Championships got underway over the weekend in Dublin for both 1:10th 200mm and 1:8th scale classes. In 1/8th scale it was business as usual for National Champion Clive Connolly who TQ’d the event ahead of his Serpent team-mate Michael Byrne. In the half hour final Connolly cruised to victory to win in front of Kyosho driver Austin Elliot in 2nd and Graeme Lougheed in 3rd, who set the fastest lap of the race. In 200mm class it was Eoin Doran that took the top qualifying spot with his Xray NT1 in front of Clive Connolly and that was how it stayed in the final with Doran taking the win from Connolly in 2nd and Colm Gaffney staying out of trouble to take 3rd.
