Graham Alsop wins at HNMC Winter Series Rd8

Round 8 of the HNMC Winter Series was held this past weekend in freezing winter weather conditions. In Nitro Buggy Team Associated’s Lewis Jones took the overall TQ after winning two of the three qualifiers in super slick conditions. With only a 15-minutes final and daylight fading it was going to be a sprint rather than a race in the A-main where Lewis Jones and HB Racing’s Graham Alsop managed to get away after a mistake by Xray’s Callum Niblett on the first lap. From there Lewis managed about a 4-second gap until he nosed in on an apex and lost some time. Lewis would put his head down and lead until he made three errors on the tricky left hand side in the last five laps which ultimately cost him the win, finishing in 2nd behind Graham Alsop 1st and Callum Niblett 3rd.
