BRCA 1/12th Nationals Round 2

The second round of the BRCA 1/12th scale Nationals were run last weekend at the Chippenham indoor track for both 19T and Modified classes. In the 19T class, which was run on Saturday, it was Matt White that took the pole position, but a slow start in the final meant he was eaten up by the pack and after the positions settled down, it was Keith Robertson that was at the front, taking the win from Chris Kerswell and Matt White. In the Modified class on Sunday, the pole position went to current National Champion and round 1 winner Andy Griffiths but in the final he was made to work for the win having been knocked down the order at the beginning of the race. He managed to regain his pace and worked his way back to the front with a great recovery drive, taking the win from 2nd placed Matt White with 3rd spot going to a very close Mark Stiles.
