Cragg and AE RC8 continue good form.

The re-scheduled round 4 of the BRCA 1/8 off road series, was held at Pendle over the weekend. Qualifying saw David Crompton take a comfortable pole position with his RB powered Hyper 8.5 Pro UK with Neils RB powered RC8 in second.

The main final saw David take an early lead from Simon Willets after Neil made a small error which dropped him behind Simon. At about the 5 minute mark Neil managed to get past Simon and then set about trying to catch David. Over the next 10 minutes or so Neil chased very hard and managed to get the gap down to about 2 seconds when David had a throttle servo failure. A very unfortunate end to what was shaping up to be a tremendous battle. After David's retirement Neil dropped into a cruise mode as he had about a 30 second lead which he maintained to the flag to take his the 3rd win of the season with the as yet unreleased Associated RC8. Elliot Boots piloted his RB/Proline/Byron sponsored car into 3rd. Both David and Neil were using Proline Bowtie M2 tyres.
