Pedro Rombouts wins at Dutch nitro on-road nats Rd2

The 2nd round of the Dutch nitro on-road nationals was run at the track of the MAC de Baanbrekers track in Rucphen. The weather was nice all weekend making for good racing conditions. During the 200mm class qualifying Daan Stuiver set a strong pace followed by Pedro Rombouts. Ricardo Hofmeijer and Milan Holthuis completed the top 4. In the main final Dann was able to open a gap on Pedro and he pulled away from the field. While an intense battle for the 3rd place arose, Pedro was able to start closing the gap on Daan after the first fuel stop. Just before the second round of pit stops Pedro was hot on the tail of Daan and with 12 minutes into the race Pedro ultimately found a way past. Rombouts then was able to pull away from the field allowing him to cruise to the victory in the 30 minute final. Daan Stuiver came in 2nd a lap down on Pedro while Ricardo completed the podium in 3rd.

On Sunday, right before the semifinals, heavy rain poured down meaning the finals had to be cancelled. This handed Martin Bayer the win in the Nitro Buggy class from David Kukla and Jan Zamis.

When the second round started things became better and most of the drivers tried to get some laps in before the qualifying.
