Lars Haugen takes Norwegian 1/12th national title
The Norwegian 1/12th scale championship was held in Spydeberg last weekend. The well organised race was run on quite a large track and attracted 21 drivers in the Modified class. The race format saw 5 rounds of qualifying, followed by triple mains. From early on it was clear that keeping good power over the 8 minute heats would be important in order to score good results. This was proven in the first round of qualifying where several drives did not make the 8 minute mark and Lars Haugen would take the first round in the highly competitive field. Helge Johansen would go on to take home two rounds on qualifying with Swede Alexander Anderson taking another round leaving Helge with the overnight TQ. On Sunday morning Lars took home the last qualifier and with it the overall TQ honours by beating Helge’s fastest run. Alexander Anderson would start from 3rd on tie-break with Øyvind Stusdal who put his car 4th on the grid.
