Boots Cruises to Victory

Elliot Boots powered his RC8 to TQ position on the grid after taking round 1 and 3 in qualifying. The 20 min A main was lead from start to finish by Elliot with his RC8 kited out with the new big bore shocks and his RB power plant. One of the closest finishes was mounting between Scott Michael and Mike Cradock, Mike having qualified 2nd on the grid and Scott 3rd. Laps 1-5 saw Mike and Scott swapping position on lap 5 Scott moved into 2nd position and Mike into 3rd with Scott holding onto 2nd place with Mike chasing him down until lap 11 where Mike found a gap and moved up into second with Scott hot on his heels now in 3rd place. Elliott's Factory Team RC8 uses the RB S7 L2G Engine. With the racing hard and fast Mike maintained 2nd spot through to lap 16 when with fuel stops Scott managed to get past and move up into 2nd place and Mike back into 3rd. Bar a brief swap of position between Mike and Scott, on lap 21 Scott held onto 2nd place to the line with Mike so hot on his heels it was unbelievable. At full time on the race clock a mere 0.01 seconds separated 2nd place from 3rd place a truly outstanding display of driving skill and to have such a small gap at the end of a 20 min final is amazing. Well done to the winners. Report and pictures courtesy of www.piraterc.com
