Connolly dominates Irish Nationals Rd3

Clive Connolly put the disappointment off just missing out on making the Main Final at the Euro Bs in Austria last weekend behind him when he took a clean sweep of wins in the latest round of the Irish National On road Championships on Sunday. The Team Serpent Ireland driver completely dominated 1:8 taking the TQ with his IDM powered 960 before going on to take the win from the Kyosho of Austin Elliot. Youngster Sean Doyle completed the top 3 at the St. Annes track with his first podium finish of the season. In the 1:10 200mm, championship leader Eoin Doran took the TQ with his Xray NT1 with Connolly’s Serpent 720 lining up second on the grid for the half hour final. The pair enjoyed a great battle for the lead for the first half of the race until Doran ran out of fuel as he entered the pit lane for a scheduled stop. The time lost in restarting Doran’s car was enough to give Connolly the break he needed to take his first 200mm win of the season. Chris Lawlor completed the podium with his Serpent 720.
