Boots doubles at BRCA Truggy & E-Buggy National

This past weekend the BRCA Truggy and E-Buggy National was held at the new Wakefield track. The team had managed to turn at track from flat to a raceable venue in only 8 weeks with a tiny team of workers. With the track being very loose it was a different experience for the drivers and Elliott Boots was able to make the best of it by coming out fastest in the opening Truggy qualifier. The two other runs weren’t so great for Elliott, breaking the car in round 2 and being stuck in traffic in round 3 and this handed the Jack Embling the pole position for the finals which was further helped by some computer issues. At the start of the 30 minute Jack made a small error over the first jump section allowing Elliott to slip through. From that moment on the Boots controlled the remainder of the final and he was able to finish the main one lap ahead of the 2nd place driver.

In the E8 1/8th E-Buggy class Elliott would set the pace in round 2 and 3 of the qualifying after dumping the car in round 1 due to using the wrong battery pack. At the start of the single 12 minute final Elliott lead the field away into the first jump section, getting through cleanly, however there was carnage behind with other cars. Elliott began to build a gap to the chasing cars, and by the midpoint of the race he had managed to lap the entire field. There was a battle going on for the final podium positions, but he carried on out front keeping it clean and tidy and bringing it home to take the win by over a lap.
