The Worlds according to Ruona – Worlds afterthoughts

Better late than never? I guess that is my theme for this entry as we all recover from the long world championship event. It seems everyone got sick after the event too which has led to a long recovery and hang-over. I ask my myself immediately following the 60 minute A-final event.

The final round of the Spanish 1/8th nitro on-road nationals was held in Elche. Serpent’s Nacho Lopez, who had a difficult season so far, was able to secure his 5th consecutive TQ in the qualifiers making him a hot candidate for the win.
