Champlin doubles at ROAR Carpet Offroad Nationals

Broc Champlin is the new ROAR Electric Carpet Offroad Nationals double Champion, the Schumacher driver taking the titles in both 2WD and 4WD Buggy at Coastal RC Speedway in Virginia.  Having claimed a trio of 3rd place podium finishes at last year’s Nationals in Florida, this year Champlin would dominate proceedings.  Securing the TQ in 4WD Buggy ahead of the TLR of defending Champion Dakotah Phend, he also secured the top spot in 2WD, ahead of the Xray of Chase Lemieux and Phend.  In the finals, Champlin wrapped up the 4WD title with wins in the first two encounters with A3 winner Phend finishing runner up ahead of Lemieux.  In the 2WD Finals, Champlin had a little more work to do after Lemieux took the win in A1 but staying out front in A2 & 3 he would completed the title double.  After his strong start, Lemieux would end up with a P4 and P7 in the next two.  With the Team Associated of fourth place qualifier David Batta claiming the runner-up spot with two P2 finishes, Lemieux just held off World Champion Tater Sontag to complete the podium.
