Adam Drake heads practice at Neo Invitational Categories - Events, Gas, International, Off Road, Racing , trackback
Adam Drake has made it look easy by heading up the times after 4 rounds of 5 minute organised practice at the 2006 Neo Invitational event in Newport, Shropshire (no pics from the event yet). The American Team Losi racer, who is competing in both the buggy and truggy classes, is class of the field so far with a 14 second advantage over 2nd place in the buggy class and a 13 second advantage over 2nd place in the truggy class. Of course this is only practice and some racers may be sandbagging or not have found the best setup yet but still impressive none the less and the way that ‘The Drake’ has been winning races lately it could just be that he genuinely is that much quicker.
Interesting to note is that Adams truggy time is fast enough to get 2nd position in the buggy class. Also worth noting is that David Crompton, driving the Team Magic M1B, is going pretty well on the cars debut, ending the day in 23rd position.
