Adam Drake does the Double at NSS Rd1

The opening round of the 2009 Novarossi Summer Series was held at Revelation Raceway last Saturday and attracted 10 heats of drivers from Southern CA.  The Pro buggy class turned out to be a bit of a warm-up for this weeks ROAR 1/8th Nationals for many drivers and saw Losi / Novarossi driver Adam Drake TQ both rounds of qualifying ahead of Kyosho / Team Orion’s Cody King.  At the start of the 25 min final Cody was able to stay close to Drake for a few laps, but as the race progressed Adam was able to power away and take the victory by two laps over Cody with Losi team mate Matt Schreffler taking 3rd. In the 1/8th truck class Adam was again able to take the TQ and win in front of Robert Wickhan who was also driving a Losi 8ight T 2.0, while Mugen driver Colin Herzig took 3rd.
