David Ronnefalk takes Swedish 1/8th National title

The Swedish 1/8th Nitro Buggy Nationals were recently held at the MK Eskil club in mixed weather conditions. The weekend started with free and controlled practice on Friday followed by five rounds of qualifying on Saturday. As rain was predicted for Saturday and Sunday every of the qualifiers would be a rocket round for the drivers and finally it was David Ronnefalk who would take the overall TQ by winning four rounds until rain started to fall which made him skip the fifth and final qualifier. In the semifinals David then came out fastest to start from pole position into the 45 minute main final. The start went pretty well for David and he was able to open a gap on his competitors and about 20 minutes into the race he had lapped everyone at least once. From there he was able to cruise to the win and although he made a mistake around the 30 minute mark he was able to take the win and with it the National Title some two laps in front of Andreas Edvinsson. Third placed Christoffer Svensson rounded out the podium some 9 seconds short on Andreas.
