After 3 titles in 1:12 10.5T Spec, Dana Bailes finally got his 1:12 modified Open title in 2017. The American racer had to shrub off Mathias Nedrebø (Norway) and Dominic Greier (Germany) who were charging hard on Bailes but he didn't blink. Bailes drove a faultless race from start to finish and after Nedrebø double-crashed in lap 19 costing him almost 5 seconds the heat was off. Greier slipped in front of the Norwegian as well to finish 2nd 3.5 seconds down on Dane 'Mr. Consistency' Bailes. A bad opening lap of 13.998, but then 13.167 average and a fastest lap 12.882. A deserved winner. Congrats to the podium finishers!
