2017 SEASON 1 1:8 NITRO NASCARTRUCKS ROUND 1 KEITUNE OVAL

American triple Worldchampion Jimmy Flack has won opening round of 1:8 nitro nascartrucks serie. From first round of this event, he was showing great pace once again. In 5 minutes qualifying his average was 7.2 sharp and in 10 minutes final 7.213. With this enormous consistency he left second place driver, almost two laps behind. Some driving from Jimmy, congratulations.
Raistrick, Dumusc and Inkeri solved last podium places. In this fight Raistrick was strongest but didnt get this easy. His average dropped half 10th`s from semifinal and this gave some chances to Dumusc and Inkeri. But Graham defenced this very nicely and crossed the line with 5.8 distance to Dumusc, who came to third place.
Inkeri who got fourth place, fighted very strong final against Dumusc. After ten minutes, Inkeri had to surrender with 1.3 seconds behind Dumusc. He had average 7.376 against Dumusc`s 7.348.
