Following the great success of the XRAY truggy, the XRAY XT8, after its debut in 2007 and sweeping the whole podium at the US Monster Truck Championship (taking 1-2-3 positions) and winning several national titles around the world in 2007, XRAY has announced that the XT8 will remain unchanged for 2008.

Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy, chief designer of XRAY:

“The XT8 has been extremely successful since its release, and the long development time has paid off as the car has been proven to be ‘bulletproof’ and its performance has been at the very highest level. We have followed all reports, feedback and exeriences very closely, not only from team drivers but also from our customers around the world… and as such I am happy to confirm that there are no immediate plans to alter the XT8 and it will remain with the same specifications for the 2008 season. I hope everybody enjoys the XT8 and I wish everybody great success in the 2008 racing season.”

RRC ran a great race meet, with the largest turnout of the year. The format was 4 x 6 minute sprint rounds, drop 2 then A B and C finals of 30 minutes. The track proved fast and flowing, up a big slope round some trees with a large jump out back. It started off grass but quickly became dirt in the 30 degree day. Haley had a busy day running both classes, and with so much track time he dominated.

The Irish on-road nitro racing season got underway on Sunday with Team Serpent Ireland enjoying a positive start to their 2008 campaign as Keith Dempsey TQ’d his 720 ‘08 and was joined on the podium by fellow Serpent driver Colm Gaffney.

The first round of the ORCA Championship was a cold affair but Dempsey made the most of Mega MF power unit and Xceed tyres to claim the top spot in qualifying.

In the final Dempsey, who is only in his second season of r/c competition, continued to show great pace as he battled for the race lead with former National Champion Eoin Doran. Despite setting the fastest lap of the race, the pole sitter was denied the win after an error during his final pit stop but the former 1:1 racer was still happy to open his 2008 season with a podium finish.

Joining him on the podium with a solid drive to take third was Colm Gaffney with his Mega ZX powered 720 who was also running Xceed tyres making it a great start to the year for Team Serpent Ireland.

Serpent also enjoyed a podium finish in the 1:8 A Final as racing returnee Michael Byrne took his 960 to second.

Next race will be on April 6th again at the St. Annes track in the Irish capital city of Dublin.

RB Team driver Jacky Mouton made the perfect start to the opening round of the French National Championships over the weekend securing the TQ position with his Serpent 720 ‘08.

Racing at the Toulouse track with 88 drivers in attendance Mouton was the fastest man in the qualifying heats secured the pole from the Xray of Arnaud Chaussard.

Rain before the final meant a wet track for the big race. Originally set to be a 45-minute encounter this was reduced to 30-minutes account of the poor track conditions which saw 2 drivers opt not to run.

Unfortunately Mouton was not to has a good final crossing the finish line in 6th position just in front of fellow Serpent 720 driver Michaël Derdérian. While a disappointing out come to the weekend, Mouton has shown his 720 ‘08 has the pace and you can be sure that the French ace will bounce back at the second round in April.
