Oval King Jimmy Flag has restored order in oval racing after his defeat earlier on the Melzo Oval track. This time it was the other way around: Flack over Giordano, but the battle was as intens as before.
The art of oval racing is a special skill. To see the consistency you should take a look at the laptimes:
fastest lap 8.330
slowest lap 8.610
avg. laptime 8.431
And it could even have been better if Jimmy hadn't crashed 10m before the finish line in his very last lap. Impossible to beat? Andrea Giordano put up a similar performance and was able to put pressure on Flack the first half of the 5 minute race, but couldn't keep up with the relentless pace and consistency of the oval king and had to give in 2 seconds after 35 laps. Shaun Schutte from South Africa won the battle for 3rd place over Terum from Norway (at 0.3 seconds) and Steven Halliday from Australia at 0.4.

It's 1-1 in the Flack-Giordano battle, the 20 minute 1:8 nitro NASCAR truck final will be the decider if the oval king continue his reign or will Giordano take over... Let the battle continue!

Well done Stephen and Graham: I'd be pleased with 5th or 6th in this group, I wish I could've been taking part (wife won't let me bring my transmitter on holiday :0( (However, being on holiday is not a bad second best).

Congratulations to all and especially the podium holders with Jimmy at top! Close race by many and possibly even closer if not many of us had lost a second in the start.
