Oople Off-Road Championship - Rnd 4
The two day meeting would consist of 4 rounds of qualifying on the Saturday with a final round of qualifying on the Sunday.
This past weekend CML and RC Octane driver Chris Mills compete in Round 4 of the Oople Off road championship with his Team Reedy/Hobbywing equipped Team Associated B64 at the popular South West Astroturf track of Mendip RC Raceway.
Being based in Wales and mainly racing on grass the venture to Astroturf would be challenging and the demanding track would require a stable and balanced car in order to compete at the high-end. Fellow Team Associated & RC Octane drivers Craig Maher and Mark Hancock assisted Chris thought out the weekend to maximise the cars capability.
After qualifying the 4wd A final would line up as:
- 1. Craig Harris
- 2. Mark Hancock
- 3. Gavin Crolla
- 4. Craig Maher
- 5. Graham North
- 6. Stephen Lawson
