Stadler in A-Main on nitro debut

Making his nitro racing debut at the Euro Nitro Series in Germany, emerging electric touring car talent Dionys Stadler will line-up for the 12-car 45-minute A-Main after heading an Xray 1-2 in the B-Main ahead of team-boss Martin Hudy.  Starting from second on the grid behind Rico Kröber, the 18-year-old took the lead on the opening lap. Leading for the majority of the reduced 12-minute encounter, rain delaying morning proceedings at Minidrom Ettlingen, only Kröber would manage to get in front of him but that lasted just 5-laps before Kröber’s engine stopped on track.  Starting from last on the grid having bumped up from the C-Main, Hudy would work his way through the field to finish over 10-seconds behind to secure his second A-Main start of the season. For reigning World Champion Alexander Hagberg, the race would bring to an end to what has been a tough weekend for the Swede.  Running 3rd, the Xray driver would collect another car resulting in him retiring with a broken car.  Also a casualty of the race was Bologna ENS Finalist Gerhard Kandelhart who had the radio box ripped from his Shepherd when he hit the foot of Krober’s pitman who was recovering the German’s car.
