Billy Easton was able to reach the A-Main final of the NEO-2010 after an intensive race-day.

Saturday night some set-up changes were made which proved to work very well on the sunday.

The quarter-final was a fairly easy win for Easton and was very happy with overall feeling of the car after the changes.

In the semi, as starting from the back, there was more work to do, but a good 5th place finish got him the spot in the A-Main of he Neo 2010.

In the Amain-final Easton with Cobra had a perfect start from 9th and went after the front runners. After about 5 minutes he was in 3rd place and going for 2nd.

The handling of the car was super, and allowed Easton to push really hard, but some small errors and a small roll put him back to 6th.

Then the engine stalled one time, but after checking it appeared the throttle servo-gear inside was broken, ending chances for a top-position in the final.

Anyway great result overall, with a 2 -driver Cobra team in the Neo 2010 and putting one car in the A-Main, showing super laptimes too.

The Serpent Cobra proved to be very strong and very competitive. Its now fine-tuning and getting ready for the market introduction late april.

Neo 2010:
thanks to the organisers and crew, as they made a super-job. Great to be able to follow the race so well through video and web. Really cool.
