Drake Dominates Winter Nationals

Revelations Raceway in Ontario, California hosted the Airtronics Winter Nationals this past Saturday.  The event had 206 entries which included top drivers Drake, King, Kortz, Bradley, JQ, Degani, Moller, and Schreffler.  Revelation is a medium grip circuit with a combination of technical jump sections and fast flowing sections which provided great racing action.  Team Losi Racing / Nova Rossi / Proline driver Adam Drake took the top qualifier honors in both rounds of the 1/8th buggy and 1/8th truck.  The buggy final was 30 minutes and went late into the night.  The track conditions changed a lot for the finals as the track was very dry and low grip.  At the start of the final Jeremy Kortz moved past Drake on the first lap, but Drake quickly made his way back around Kortz on lap two and never looked back.  Drake won the buggy final by 29 seconds, Cody King finished second, and Matt Schreffler took home the final podium spot in third with his Team Losi Racing 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy.  


In the truck final Drake lead from start to finish and took the win with the 8IGHT-T 2.0 Truggy followed by Team Losi Racing teammates Drew Moller in second and Cody Smith in third.
