Mike Bellotti wins at Independence Day club race

Mills Pond RC Speedway of Fort Lauderdale, Florida held their Independence Day club race yesterday. In the 1/8th scale E-Buggy class it was Daniel Chavez who set the pace in qualifying to take the overall TQ for the class. At the start of the A-main Daniel got the holeshot while P2 after the qualifiers, Mike Bellotti got cleaned out pretty good, although luck was on his side and still allowed him to get through un-marshaled. Mike was in P2 behind Daniel and Mike buckled down and turned clean laps waiting in the strike zone to make a move. Dan had a bobble allowing Mike to get around him and basically go unchallenged to the end of the main. Daniel would come in 2nd a lap down after the 10-minute main as Alex Maclellan rounded out the top 3 results.
