Gribov & Plamodyanov win at Russian off-road champs

The Russian 1/8th off-road championships were held at the Raduga Raceway in 1/8th nitro and electric buggy. The track saw a major make-over in Spring and is considered to be one of the best locations in Russia today. In the 1/8th nitro buggy class the TQ went to Nikita Pomogayev who won the nationals in 2011 and 2012 but at the end it was Dmitry Gribov who profited of a last lap accident between current champion Nikita and Igor Waltsifer. The podium was completed by David Ishkhanyan.
