Yee Kok Leong wins at Malaysia Nationals finale

The final round of the Malaysia National Nitro On-road Championship was run at the Taman Titiwangsa Circuit. In the 1/8th category Serpent driver Nick Chong took the TQ spot but it was Kimie (Capricorn) who took the early lead in the final, closely followed by Haji Jusri (Serpent). Later Kimie had to pull out of the race, handing the lead to Haji but he had to come in for a tyre change around the 20 minute mark which allowed Nick Chong to jump into the lead but halfway into the race a broken steering servo stopped Nick which allowed Yee Kok Leong (Serpent) to eventually take the win from Serpent team mate Haji Jusri and Neil (Xray).
