Dutch nitro on-road nationals Rd6 – Report

The 6th and final round of the Dutch 1/8th nitro on-road nationals was held at the small and tricky track of the MBC de Sluis in Gouda. A total of 45 drivers attended and together with the sunny weather this made for a fantastic final of the 2012 season. In the NK class the battle for the Dutch championship was between the two Xray drivers John Ermen and RickV with the latter having a small points advantage. During qualifying Jon showed a fantastic pace and took TQ with RickV only making the 4th fastest time. Belgium drivers Robin d’Hondt and Steven Cuypers took second and third on the grid and it looked like John would be unbeatable this weekend.
