Ciccarello to run 966, joins Serpent America sales team

Ciccarello to run 966, joins Serpent America sales team

Serpent have announced that ace driver Paul Ciccarello will race the 966 in 1/8 scale from 2010 onwards. The cooperation between the pairing for the 1/12 S120 and future 1/10 scale pan-class has been working out really well, so its really good for them to be able to coop in 1/8 scale as well. Paul has shown in 2009 with his 3rd place at the well attended ROAR Nats, that he is a force to be reckoned with and the coop with Scott Kimbrow, Paolo Morganti, DJ and Jackson will most certainly help to achieve even better results by working together closely. Paul has also joined Serpent America’s sales team for all the product lines of Serpent America including Serpent, Novarossi, Xceed, Matrix and Blitz-Titan. With his long time experience, racing and working at Parma for many years, he is very likely to offer great suppport to all Serpent customers.
