Team Losi Racing Wins Southern Nationals
Team Losi Racing driver Adam Drake attended the Inaugural Southern Nationals and RC Expo in West Monroe, Louisiana. The event was held inside the Ike Hamilton Expo Center. The track was one of the largest indoor facilities in the world with great ventilation and air conditioning. The Southern Nationals had an area for manufactures to display product and answer question for consumers and spectators. The event had 260+ entries.
In the 1:8 Pro Buggy and Truck classes Adam Drake put his Nova Rossi powered Losi 8ight and 8ight T on pole for the 45 minute finals. In the buggy final Adam battled early with Ryan Lopez, but Adam’s consistency and pit strategy was too much for the rest of the field. At the end of the 45 minute buggy final Adam was able to put nearly two laps on the rest of the field. The truck final was a similar to the buggy final. Adam battled early in the main with Patrick Castleberry, but Adam’s speed and consistency paid off. Adam took home the victory in the 1:8 truck final by two laps.
Team Losi Racing also won the 1:8 Sportsman Buggy and 1:8 Open Buggy classes!
