2009 OCR Nitro Champs Series Rnd # 7 Final
Knauth, Hobao, RB takes the Outright Series Win!!!!
Knauth driving an RB powered Hyper 9 takes out the 2009 OCR Nitro Champs Series, ahead of Shaun Rawlings running a Force powered XB8 EC, narrowly holding out Sergio Manalvo - MBX6 - OS, second and third outright seperated by only 1 point after close to 600 laps of hard racing. The Junior and Sport Buggy drivers battled all the way to the final race of the series to determine who would be on the podium, in the end though it was Henry Bui - 808 - RB with a very close win over Tom Jones - 808 - RB, with Luke D'Arnay taking the final series podium position. Dean Baker - Caster Fusion came from behind to snatch the number 1 spot from Henri Raafs - Hyper 8.5 - RB with Rory O'Connor taking third with his OS powered Thunder Tiger.
On to the Final round of racing!!!
Round 1 saw a great start from the 11 car field, with Knauth and Ciccone - MBX6 getting the better of them, the two pushed hard ahead of pack until lapped traffic on lap 8 caused some grief for Knauth giving Ciccone some breathing room to finish 4.02 seconds in front with Gavin Newman another 2.02 secs behind in third, Manalvo home in fourth 10 seconds back with Tam Bui filling the Top 5.
Round 2 saw Skip Jackson make amends to take the number 1 spot and the FTD for the event after not even making it onto the circuit in round 1, Newman pulled off second ahead of Manalvo with Knauth and Tim Nicol fourth and fifth.
Round 3 had Gavin Newman in the lead at the end a lap ahead of the field, with Jackson and Manalvo under 4 seconds apart crossing the line, Junior driver Henry Bui fourth, Rawlings fifth, Marc Christianson, Knauth, Tom Jones, Nicol and Henri Raafs, filling the final Top Ten places.
Round 4 saw some tense moments leading up the the start for a number of drivers sitting just inside and out of the overall series podium positions, this and the next round were going to make or break thier chances at a podium spot!!! Jackson took another round win ahead of Manalvo and Newman, with Jesse Newman fourth and Rawlings fifth.
Round 5 the final round of racing for the series was going to see a tense battle between Manalvo and Rawlings for second and third outright, with the positions still up for grabs the racing was intense, with father and son Gavin and Jesse Newman battling with Jackson out in front the excitment was really back in fourth and fifth with Manalvo and Rawlings, the two pushing each other hard, lap after lap until Manalvo made a costly mistake across the woops causing him to flame out handing the outright number 2 spot to Shaun Rawlings. The two Newmans took the race win 10 seconds apart Jackson a close third. Young Jesse the quickest driver on the circuit pulling off a blistering 32.255 second lap.
Congratulations to all the drivers in what was an epic battle from start to finish, and Im sure we all look forward to the 2010 OCR Nitro Champs Series.
