Round 3 of the BRCA 1/12th scale nationals took place in Tamworth last weekend. Once again the entry was almost full with more than 100 drivers competing on each day. The event would see Olly Jefferies driving an Associated car for the final time before he switches to Xray for 2014. Olly has been in dominant form this winter having won 3 of the first 4 national events in the stock and modified classes. In the Stock class on Saturday Olly set a blistering pace in the early rounds, but a fast run from David Spashett would see him line up on pole position for the A-final with his Zen Racing RS chassis. Olly was 2nd for Associated/Reedy/LRP. Championship leader Adam Catchpole failed to make the A-final after finishing 2nd at both of the first two events. In the A final Olly capitalised on a rare mistake from Spashett to then go on and win the race. A fine drive from CRC’s Mick Farrell netted him the final podium place.
