Adam Drake victorious at Southern Nationals

Adam Drake victorious at Southern Nationals

Team Losi/Novarossi driver Adam Drake attended the Inaugural Southern Nationals and RC Expo in West Monroe, Louisiana held inside the Ike Hamilton Expo Center.  The track was one of the largest indoor facilities in the world with great ventilation and air conditioning and is equipped with 150 full service RV hookups, pit stalls with lockable gates and the hotel was directly across the street and within walking distance. The Southern Nationals had an area for manufacturers to display product and answer question for consumers and spectators and attracted 260+ entries and sold nearly 700 tickets for spectators.

In the 1/8th Pro Buggy and Truck classes Adam Drake put his Novarossi powered Losi 8ight and 8ight T on pole for the 45 minute finals. In the buggy final Adam battled early with Ryan Lopez, but Adam’s consistency and pit strategy was too much for the rest of the field. At the end of the 45 minute buggy final Adam was able to put nearly two laps on the rest of the field. The truck final was a similar to the buggy final. Adam battled early in the main with Patrick Castleberry, but Adam’s speed and consistency paid off and he took home the victory in the 1/8th truck final by two laps.
