Malin wins another OMK Fall Classic race

Malin wins another OMK Fall Classic Race

Round seven of the OMK Fall Classic Race series was held yesterday evening on a soaking wet track. Combined with the low temperatures the track was very slippery, making it a bit of a handful for all drivers. Nevertheless Xray’s Malin Karlsen once again dominated the proceedings and she took convincing TQs in every round to obtain the pole position for the triple A-mains. In the opening two finals the young lady jumped into the lead and she never looked back to take the day’s win in style and with it her fifth win out of the five rounds she attended. For A3 she opted to sit out the leg to let the other driver battle for the remaining podium spots and ultimately it was Steffen Larsen (Team Associated) who grabbed the runner-up spot by a narrow 0.5 seconds from third placed Marius Kristensen (Serpent).
