Adam Drake breaks 9 laps to take TQ at Neo Invitational

It seems that this years Neo Invitational race is all about Adam Drake and the Team Losi 8ight. Adam has secured TQ in both the buggy and the truggy class and although the margins arent as big as seen yesterday they are still substantial with his margin in buggy over second place Robert Batlle around 5 seconds and was the only racer to get 9 laps. In truggy it was more of the same with the margin over again 2nd place Robert Batlle nearly 10 seconds. It looks like baring any major hiccup, ‘The Drake’ should take home the 2 titles tomorrow.

Other notables are Neil Cragg the European & World electric buggy champion is placed in 4th in the buggy class whilst David Crompton took an impressive 13th position with the new Team Magic M1B obviously having ironed out some of the problems he was facing yesterday.
