Rabitti on pole for Arena race

Italian National Champion Riccardo Rabitti will start the 2009 Arena Offroad Meeting from pole position ahead of Losi team-mate Yannick Aigoin. Aigoin took the win in the first of the Semi Finals but Rabitti’s win in the second produced a faster time to see him carry the number 1 on his Sirio powered 8ight for the 45-minute Main here at the ‘Arena of Cowboys’. Both Rabitti and Aigoin had to work hard for their wins. Aigoin saw his Novarossi engine cut on the start due to the idle being set too low and once restarted he had to work his way up through the field. Running one fuel stop compared with the two of young British talent Elliot Boots he eventually found a way passed the Mugen/RB driver who will line up fourth on the grid.

Riccardo Rabitti has claimed the first of the silverware at the 2009 Arena Offroad Meeting after he cruised to victory in the Brushless Buggy class here tonight at the ‘Arena of Cowboys’.
