Rick V. & Marco Kruse win at Dutch 1/8th Nats Rd2

The second round of the Dutch 1/8th Nitro On-road Nationals was held at the technical MBC de Sluis track in Gounda with 43 drivers attending. Nice Summer weather with temperatures of above 25 degree Celsius made for perfect racing conditions. The new, combined ABC final system again ensured nice battles during the finals as the drivers races more on their own level. In the premier NK class Rick Vrielijnck took a pretty easy win in the 30-minute A-main some three laps ahead of runner-up, Jeffrey Rietveld. Only some 1.3 seconds down, Frank Baggen completed the podium result in third.

1. Rick Vrielijnck – 117L 30:02.239
