Paul Ciccarello To Run Serpent 966
Ace driver Paul Ciccarello will race the Serpent 966 in 1:8 scale from 2010 onwards. Serpent is very proud to have Paul also on the 1:8 scale team as the co-operation for the 1:12 S120 and future 1:10 scale pan-class has been working out really well, so its really good to be able to coop in 1:8 scale as well.
Paul has shown in 2009 with his third place at the well attended ROAR Nats, that he is a force to be reckoned with. The co-op with Scott Kimbrow, Paolo Morganti, DJ and Jackson will most certainly help to achieve even better results by working together closely.
Paul Ciccarello has also joined Serpent America’s sales team for all the product lines of Serpent America including Serpent, NovaRossi, Xceed, Matrix and Blitz-Titan. With his long time experience he is very likely to offer great suppport to all Serpent customers. Paul can be reached at: Paul@serpentamerica.com for any sales inquires or team driver support.
