Wayne Joelson wins SA 1/8th national title

The 4th and final round of the South African nitro on-road nationals took place at the TRAP racing facility just outside the capital city of Tshwane. Nearly 60 drivers from around South Africa attended the event for both 1/10th touring and 1/8th scale. Having already won the championship after 3 rounds the top qualifier in the 1/8th class was current SA champion Wayne Joelson (Mugen Seiki/Novarossi) followed closely by Dawie vd Merwe (Mugen Seiki/Novarossi) and Imtiaz Salie (Mugen Seiki/Max). The final then was won by Imtiaz Salie who took his first 1/8th scale victory and secured the vice championship.
