East Coast Nitro Series
“The East Coast Nitro Series was wrapped up recently with two very talented drivers demonstrating the power of the Go engine by dominating the buggy class. Here is a quick write up from the race. Final report from the East Coast Nitro Series. This series was a 8 race series taking 6 of your best races. Going into the last race Chris Pace and Brandon Melton had 1st and 2nd locked up in the series. Chris had a 25 point lead going into the day. With some great driving by Melton he grabbed the TQ spot witch took 5 points out of Pace’s lead. In the main Pace had to finish 4 spots behind Melton in order for Melton to take it home. Pace started 4th in the main with Melton at the point. At the drop of the flag Melton lead off and Pace made it up to 3rd. In turn one Pace got taken out and was dead last, with Melton in the lead. After the first lap Pace was 15 sec. down on a 33 sec. lap track. Chris knew if he ran a steady pace he could catch up with the leaders battling.
Around the 15 min mark Pace made it up to 5th with Melton in 3rd. Pace then knew all he had to do is finish there to take it home. With about 10 mins to go Pace made a charge to the front and made his way to 3rd with the leader putting a good distance on Pace and Melton. The leader then had trouble and Pace worked his way to 2nd. With 3 mins to go Pace had some trouble with lap traffic and fell back to 4th. At that point he just stayed there to finish out the race. Pace and Meltons Go Powered RC8’s had wrapped up the series, with Pace in 1st and Melton in second. 45 points clear of 3rd place Travis Dupree.” [Source -neobuggy.net]
